The committee comprised of Honorable Members of Parliament, Representatives from the office of the Clerk of the National Assembly, Ministry of Higher Education and Higher Education Authority.

One of the highlights was the presentation on “MEGA Project – Building capacity by implementing mhGAP mobile intervention in SADC countries,” which is an Erasmus+ funded project.  The Project began in October 2017, with implementation in South Africa and Zambia respectively.

The parliamentarians were very impressed by the efforts that LAMU is making in ensuring the quality of teaching, learning, and research.

The meeting aimed to review the quality of Higher Education at LAMU in Lusaka, Zambia.

Miss Namwaka Angel Mooto, who is LAMU’s Deputy Registrar – Academic Affairs and Acting MEGA Project Manager, made a presentation to the parliamentarians on behalf of LAMU.

The presentation showcased LAMU’s involvement in Teaching, Learning, Research, and Collaborations with other institutions.

The conference is regarded as an important event to share scientific evidence that can be used to develop health policies and best practices; and promote good quality care and access to the health services users. Collectively, the work presented at the Research Day reflects health-related research in the Province. The conference was attended by more than 200 health care workers and managers. The MEGA project enjoyed excellent exposure and those managers who attended the presentation showed enthusiasm towards the project, which contributes to buy-in at governmental and health service level.
