“This AGM seeks to encourage dialogue on innovative solutions that can lead to sustainable development and improved governance.
“LASUMA General Assembly is not just an opportunity to discuss challenges but also to appreciate the contributions of different personalities and organizations that have made meaningful contributions in their various communities,” he added.
