CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE MEFMI ANNUAL RESEARCH AND POLICY SEMINAR

 

MEFMI is inviting interested experts to submit proposals on policy-oriented discussion papers in diverse topics around the Institute’s key priority areas of Macroeconomic Management, Financial Sector Management and Sovereign Debt Management for the Annual Research and Policy Seminar scheduled for November 2015 in Harare, Zimbabwe. The main objective of the Seminar is to promote research that stimulate dialogue and contribute to search for solutions to emerging challenges confronting the region. The Seminar will feature presentations and discussions of research papers, moderated by a panel of experts made up of invited prominent academics, policy makers and practitioners, as well as representatives from development organizations who share a deep passion for the development of the region and have unique perspectives on how this can be achieved. It is expected that the Seminar will contribute to an understanding of the challenges facing sustainable development in the region and the policy options that exist for addressing them. In addition, the accepted papers will be abridged into policy briefings to make them more relevant to decision makers.
