HIGHLIGHTS (February/March) – SAPOA annual meeting (28 February–1 March 2024) and SIDS Postal Forum (5–7 March 2024)
The CC Secretary, Alexander Thern-Svanberg, had the opportunity to introduce the postal prosperity zones model on day 2 (Strategy Day), and to network with several stakeholders, including private companies (such as Software Group and Africawide) that are particularly active in the Southern African region.
The month of March was busy for the Consultative Committee, as it attended two important postal sector events. It first attended the Southern African Postal Operators Association (SAPOA) annual meeting in Gaborone, Botswana, from 28 February to 1 March 2024.

Escher Group and Ship2myId were also present.
It then participated in the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Postal Forum in Seychelles from 5 to 7 March 2024, during which Ship2MyID concluded an agreement with Seychelles Postal Services (SPS).
