The final stage of the project to draft the M&E Framework for the SADC TFCAs Programme was the presentation of the revised document to the SADC Wildlife Technical Committee. This was done in Johannesburg on 30 October 2017. 

The SADC TFCAs T&CaB CoP held a face-to-face meeting in November 2017 to discuss the vision and mission of the group, as well as to brainstorm on objectives and future activities. The document session contains both the Agenda and the Minutes of the Meeting, as finalised by the Secretariat.

The objective of this meeting is to review progress towards the implementation of the SADC TFCA Programme. The meeting will also provide an opportunity for a one-day workshop on the establishment of the TFCA Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Framework, for incorporation into the broader SADC M&E Framework.

The Steering Committee is invited to provide guidance on the conceptualization of this Conference. An important issue that we would like to discuss is the strengthening of cross-sectoral engagement in SADC TFCAs.

Additionally we propose to discuss other matters, including the upcoming ITB Conference in Berlin, a TFCA Network meeting from 22-24 March 2017, an update on IUCN BIOPAMA Phase II and the development of SADC TFCA Guidelines.
