ACCORD’s Executive Director was invited as a guest speaker to address a meeting of European Union (EU) Development Councilors based in South Africa, on 19 November 2009. The invitation provided an opportunity for the Executive Director to bring to the attention of the twenty four development councilors who attended the meeting the work that ACCORD undertakes on the Continent.
Mr. Gounden was able to engage with the Councilors on their views and perceptions of the Continent and to answer or clarify perceptions which could change the way that they, and in the long run their governments, may view the environment on the Continent.
