There was no contract attached to this process, as it was a joint collaboration along with the African Union Development Agency (AUDA) ??? New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD). The webinar was inclusive of speakers from South Africa, South Korea, and the continent. In appreciation of the joint webinar that was held, the South Korean Embassy donated R18, 000 as a donation in kind.
