Event
Green economy talks with CI and OSISA in Africa
23 Jul 2011 to 28 Jul 2011
Location:
South Africa
The Open Society
Initiative of Southern Africa (OSISA) has been funding
Consumers International (CI) projects for some time now, so
it was only natural that Helen McCallum, Acting Director
General, and Bjarne Pedersen, Director of Operations, met with
OSISA while in South Africa.
The discussions centered on the green economy and how CI and
consumer organisations in Southern Africa could provide an entry
point to reaching the poor, marginalised and rural consumers
throughout Southern Africa.
