| Notes |
Prior to his retirement from IMF in 2002, as the Director of the Africa Department, Mr. Gondwe oversaw IMF's operations throughout the African continent. He was responsible for conceiving and supervising the Fund's regular stabilization and structural adjustments in the region as well as for developing and implementing new programs to facilitate adjustment and long term growth in the poorest and highly indebted countries. He personally advised and negotiated with the highest level political and economic leaders including heads of states, central bank governors, and key cabinet members. As a result, during his 22 years with the IMF, he has developed a unique and acute knowledge of African economies and has direct personal relations with the key country officials. And, he is intimately familiar with the policies and standards of the major multilateral institutions. [ www.centennial-;group.com/gondw - Retrieved on 20 MAY 2008 ] |
