The SG and her team also met with the NED team lead by Eric Robinson, the Deputy Director Africa Programme, who commended SADC PF for the great work it was doing to promote democracy in the SADC region. The two institutions agreed to explore avenues of collaboration through partnerships since NED cannot do direct funding to SADC PF.
