“We need to keep abreast with global economic trends but also engage with key stakeholders in government, parastatals, development and international partners, NGOs, micro finance firms, insurance companies and many others who will be a part of this conference,” said Mtuwa. ECAMA Executive member Maleka Thula received the donation with thanks as he hailed NBM plc for being a good partner since the establishment of the association in 1999.
