Africa Programme Virtual Sessions – Leadership and Advocacy for Records Management

The ICA Africa Programme invites leaders in records and archives management in Africa to a virtual webinar on leadership and advocacy for records management. The session will share insights on how records managers and archivists can advocate for their profession and gain much needed support and alignment from all stakeholders in advancing the records management agenda. This session is ideal for heads of records management functions, leaders of archival institutions, records management trainers and students of records management.  

This session will be facilitated by Nampombe Saurombe.
