The meeting will be addressed by the CEEC, Director General, Mabel Mung'omba, on Friday, 12 March 2010 starting from 1800 %u2013 2030 at the Zambian High Commission officers in central London.
The Zambia Citizens Economic Empowerment Commission is a body corporate established under the CEE Act No. 9 of 2006 to promote the economic empowerment of targeted citizens. More information and activities of CEEC are on their website http://www.ceec.org.zm
A Citizens' Empowerment Act (CEA) that was passed into law in September 2006 aims to provide opportunities for disadvantaged citizens to participate in business activities. The Act is broadly worded and gives the President latitude in defining the targets and beneficiaries of the Act.
During 2007, the Citizens' Economic Empowerment Commission (CEEC) was established to help implement the Act. The GRZ appointed a Chairman and interim director general. One of the first accomplishments of the CEEC was the harmonization of a number of government empowerment funds into the Citizens Economic Empowerment Fund, designed to be a revolving fund that supports broad based economic empowerment programs.
