Vice President Inonge Wina is expected in Livingstone tomorrow to officially open the 42nd ordinary session of the African Regional Labour Administration Centre (ARLAC) governing council meeting and high level symposium.

Mrs. Wina is expected to arrive here at 08:00 hours in the morning and will return to Lusaka the same day after officially opening the conference, which is being held under the theme, “Decent work in the global supply chains”.

Livingstone District Commissioner Omar Munsanje confirmed that Mrs. Wina will arrive in the morning for the conference.

And according to the programme obtained by ZANIS in Livingstone today, 20 English speaking African countries and Ministers of Labour from member countries are attending the conference, which started yesterday on 15th February 2016 and will end on 19th February.

The programme indicates that Zambia’s Minister of Labour and Social Security, Fackson Shamenda, is leading other attendees at the conference.

ARLAC, whose headquarters is in Harare in Zimbabwe, was jointly formed by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 1974 as a project for the development of labour administration issues.

The centre is mandated to strengthen labour administration systems in English speaking African member countries through training, research, consultancy and advisory services.
