The Eswatini Economic Policy Analysis and Research Centre (ESEPARC) recently welcomed members of the Board of Directors for a meet-and-greet session with staff, providing a valuable opportunity for interaction and reflection on the Centre’s ongoing work and future direction.

The engagement created a platform for the Board to connect directly with the team, share words of encouragement, and reaffirm their support for the institution’s mandate. In their remarks, Board Members emphasised the importance of continuous learning and professional growth, encouraging staff to pursue further studies and skills development in order to strengthen the Centre’s knowledge base and contribute to building a robust pool of human capital.

The Board highlighted that the strength of institutions such as ESEPARC lies in the quality, expertise, and dedication of its people. By investing in professional development and deepening technical capacity, staff play a critical role in ensuring that the Centre continues to deliver credible, high-quality research that informs policy and supports evidence-based decision-making.

Board Members further acknowledged the work being undertaken by the ESEPARC team and reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the organisation as it continues to grow and expand its impact. They encouraged staff to remain innovative, collaborative, and focused on excellence as the Centre advances its role in generating research and policy insights for national development.

The session concluded with a shared appreciation for the collective efforts of the team and a renewed sense of purpose as ESEPARC continues its work of generating evidence and shaping informed decisions for the country.
