His mission forms part of ongoing efforts to improve access to specialised surgical care locally while promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange with Mauritian medical teams.<\/p><p>Speaking after the meeting, Minister Bachoo highlighted the importance of bringing specialised medical expertise to Mauritius, particularly for patients requiring complex procedures that are not readily available locally.<\/p><p>He indicated that, during Dr Zipoli's first mission, from 22 February to 02 March 2026, he performed 12 operations and conducted numerous outpatient consultations. During his second mission, he has consulted 80 patients, performed 15 major surgical procedures and carried out 10 shoulder infiltrations, alongside specialised arthroscopic examinations.<\/p><p>Mr Bachoo underlined that this initiative enables patients who would otherwise need to travel abroad for treatment to receive specialised care in Mauritius. He also recalled that the approach of bringing foreign specialists to work alongside local medical teams is being implemented across different medical disciplines. He further announced that Dr Zipoli is expected to return to Mauritius in March 2027.<\/p><p>For his part, Dr Zipoli conveyed his satisfaction at undertaking a second mission in Mauritius, following an invitation from his Mauritian counterparts with whom he had previously worked in France.<\/p><p>He explained that a key development during this mission was the opportunity to work alongside a physiotherapist, which would help improve the provision of orthopaedic care. Discussions are also underway to establish a specialised unit bringing together surgery, physiotherapy and medical care. He added that there are plans to invite other French surgeons to contribute their expertise, particularly in complex procedures.<\/p><p>With 30 years of experience in shoulder surgery, Dr Zipoli specialises in arthroscopic shoulder surgery. He noted that the patients consulted in Mauritius present conditions similar to those encountered in France. These include shoulder instability, rotator cuff tears and shoulder osteoarthritis, for which appropriate medical and surgical treatment can be offered.<\/p><p>He emphasised that his mission goes beyond performing surgical procedures, as it also provides an opportunity to exchange expertise and share knowledge with Mauritian doctors.

from public and private secondary schools with the necessary skills\nand tools to strengthen career guidance and better prepare students for the\nevolving world of work.<\/p><p>Organised\nby the Human Resource Development Council (HRDC), in collaboration with the\nMinistry of Education and Human Resource and the Careers Guidance Service\n(CGS), the initiative seeks to equip Senior Educators with the knowledge and\ntools to guide students in making informed decisions about further studies and\nfuture careers. It also familiarises them with emerging labour market trends\nand the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in career preparation, including CV\nwriting and job interview techniques.<\/p><p>The\nMinister of Education and Human Resource, Dr Mahend Gungapersad; the\nChairperson of HRDC, Mr Bhooyasheel Seedoyal; the Acting Director of HRDC, Mr\nPritam Singh Mattan, and other personalities were present at the opening\nceremony held this morning in Eb\u00e8ne.<\/p><p>In\nhis address, Dr Gungapersad stressed the importance of effective career\nguidance to help young people make informed choices in an increasingly\ncompetitive and rapidly evolving labour market. He observed that students often\nchoose fields of study based on limited knowledge of available professions or\npopular career preferences, potentially leading to an oversupply of graduates\nin some sectors while others continue to face skills shortages.<\/p><p>He\ncalled for greater exposure to diverse career opportunities through interaction\nwith professionals, career talks, workplace visits and practical activities.\nSuch initiatives, he said, would help students identify their interests,\nabilities and potential. The Minister also underscored the importance of\ncollaboration among parents, educators, educational institutions and the\nprivate sector in supporting students\u2019 career choices without imposing\npredetermined pathways.<\/p><p>Referring\nto the impact of technological advancement and globalisation on the world of\nwork, Dr Gungapersad stressed that career guidance must keep pace with emerging\nprofessions and changing labour market needs. He added that investing in\neffective career guidance was an investment in the country\u2019s human capital, as\ntoday\u2019s students would become tomorrow\u2019s workforce and skilled professionals.<\/p><p>For\nhis part, Mr Seedoyal highlighted the pivotal role of senior educators in\nhelping young people understand the opportunities in the labour market. He\npointed out that the programme seeks to deepen their knowledge of different\noccupations and labour market developments, thereby strengthening their ability\nto guide students in their educational and career choices.<\/p><p>As\nfor Mr Mattan, he explained that the workshop would involve Senior Educators in\nvalidating exercises developed under the Career Toolkit to ensure that the\nresource is relevant to the realities of schools. The 2027 activity calendars\nwill subsequently enable schools to integrate these exercises into their\nregular career guidance programmes, providing students with opportunities to\nexplore different professions and progressively plan their career paths, he\nadded.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>05 November 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Education<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Combating human trafficking through ethical recruitment practices<\/h1><div id='gallery-2884' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='1' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='2' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='3' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='4' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='5' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='6' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='7' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='8' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='9' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='10' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide-to='11' ><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12453' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12454' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12455' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12456' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12457' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12458' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12459' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12465' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12466' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12467' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12468' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=12469' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2884' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><p>The importance\nof promoting ethical recruitment practices, preventing trafficking in persons\nand strengthening the protection of workers against exploitation and abuse was\nhighlighted during a sensitisation workshop for licensed private recruitment\nagencies held, today, at the InterContinental Resort Mauritius in Balaclava. An\nApplication Information Desk, with a dedicated telephone line (214 3700) and\ne-mail address (recruit.info@govmu.org),\nwas also launched on the occasion.<\/p><p>The workshop,\norganised by the Ministry of Labour and Industrial Relations in collaboration\nwith the International Organization for Migration (IOM), aimed to familiarise\nrecruitment agencies with their legal obligations and responsibilities in\nensuring safe, transparent and lawful recruitment practices. <\/p><p>The Minister of\nLabour and Industrial Relations, Mr Muhammad Reza Cassam Uteem; the IOM Chief\nof Mission for Mauritius and Seychelles, Ms Alia Hirji; as well as other\npersonalities were present at the opening ceremony.<\/p><p>In his address,\nMinister Uteem emphasised that recruitment agencies have a crucial\nresponsibility in safeguarding the rights and welfare of both Mauritian workers\nseeking employment abroad and foreign workers recruited to work in Mauritius. Recruitment\nagencies, he highlighted, must ensure that workers are adequately informed of\ntheir employment conditions, provided with contracts in a language they\nunderstand and equipped with the necessary skills for their respective jobs. According\nto him, the agencies must also see to it that workers are properly\naccommodated and treated fairly by employers.<\/p><p>The Minister\nalso underlined measures introduced to simplify foreign labour recruitment\nprocedures while strengthening regulatory oversight.

She also underscored the importance of providing migrant\nworkers with accurate information on employment opportunities, remuneration and\navailable support mechanisms before departure and upon arrival.<\/p><p>Ms Hirji\nfurther reiterated the IOM's commitment to working with Mauritian authorities\nto strengthen migration governance, promote responsible recruitment and ensure\nthe protection

The course was conducted by a gender expert from the European Union, Ms\nWinfred Lichuma.<\/p><p>The\ninitiative aimed to equip media professionals with the knowledge, tools and\nskills required to better understand gender-related issues and integrate them\ninto their professional practices. It also provided an opportunity to reflect\non the use of gender-sensitive language, the identification of unconscious\nbiases, the elimination of stereotypes and the balanced representation of women\nand men.<\/p><p>At\nthe opening ceremony of the training, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry\nof Gender Equality and Family Welfare, Mr Jean Daniel Philippe Labonne,\nstressed that promoting gender equality required more than the adoption of\npublic policies and legislative measures. He stated that it also called for a\nshift in mindsets, behaviours and communication practices, as well as in\nsociety's perceptions of the roles, responsibilities and contributions of\nindividuals.<\/p><p>The\nimportance of incorporating gender-sensitive communication into media practices\nwas highlighted by Mr Labonne as he underlined that that the media were not\nmerely channels for disseminating information but played a significant role in\nshaping public opinion, influencing attitudes and establishing the values that\nunderpin society. He pointed out that the media had the capacity to challenge\nstereotypes, promote equality and foster a better understanding of social\nrealities. However, he cautioned that certain journalistic practices could,\nsometimes unintentionally, perpetuate prejudices and reinforce discrimination.<\/p><p>The\nPermanent Secretary explained that gender-sensitive journalism did not mean\ncompromising the fundamental principles of the profession. Rather, it was about\nenhancing the quality of reporting through the balanced representation of\ndiverse experiences, the use of language that respected human dignity and the\navoidance of portrayals that could perpetuate discrimination.<\/p><p>According\nto Mr Labonne, this responsibility was particularly important when reporting on\nsensitive issues such as domestic violence, sexual assault, exploitation and\nother forms of gender-based violence. He underscored that the coverage of such\ncases should avoid sensationalism, stigmatisation and victim-blaming. <\/p><p>\u201cVictims\nand survivors must be treated with dignity and respect; their privacy, identity\nand safety must be protected,\u201d he recalled. \nResponsible journalism, he added, could help break the silence\nsurrounding such forms of violence, raise public awareness and encourage those\naffected to seek the necessary assistance and protection.<\/p><p>Furthermore,\nthe Permanent Secretary was adamant that the training was not intended to\ndictate what journalists should publish or undermine their editorial\nindependence. \u201cInstead,\u201d he affirmed, \u201cthe purpose is to strengthen the\ncapacities of media professionals, deepen their understanding of gender-related\nissues and encourage journalist practices that are increasingly accurate, fair,\nimpartial, responsible and inclusive.\u201d<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify;

Nation\nand actively participate in building it,\" she stated. She reiterated that\nGovernment views young Mauritians as essential to the Nation's progress and\nplaces immense faith in their potential as the architects of the country's\nfuture.<\/p><p>The Secretary\nfor Home Affairs further noted that the extensive support provided by private\nsector partners\u2014ranging from materials to sponsored activities\u2014will help ensure\nthat the children take away lifelong, memorable experiences from the\ninitiative.

of the National Flood Prevention and Preparedness Campaign 2026\u20132027, launched, this morning, in Port Louis by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Centre (NDRRMC), under the aegis of the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, in collaboration with Landscope Mauritius.<\/p><p>The programme featured practical demonstrations and training sessions by various first responders near the South Subway Entrance at Port Louis Waterfront. These covered basic rope rescue techniques, freeing people trapped in vehicles, evacuating casualties during floods and administering first aid. <\/p><p>The Lord Mayor of Port Louis, Ms Christelle Pondard; the Officer-in-Charge of the NDRRMC, Mr Premanand Budhoo; the Chief Executive Officer of Landscope Mauritius, Mr Manilall Seetohul; and other personalities were also present.<\/p><p>In his address, Mr Budhoo highlighted the risks posed by torrential rainfall and flash floods, which can threaten lives, damage infrastructure and disrupt livelihoods. He emphasised that preparedness must begin well before an emergency occurs and called for greater awareness at household and community levels. Referring to this year\u2019s International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction theme, \u2018Resilience Starts at Home\u2019, he urged the public to take flood warnings seriously, understand the risks in their localities and familiarise themselves with evacuation arrangements.<\/p><p>He further underlined that effective emergency response requires well-equipped and adequately trained first responders, as well as close coordination among the agencies concerned. Mr Budhoo explained that practical exercises enable responders to strengthen their skills, become familiar with rescue equipment and build the confidence needed to make sound decisions under pressure. He also called for regular training, the review of emergency plans and sustained public awareness, stressing that preparedness must be an ongoing effort to minimise flood risks and protect communities.<\/p><p>For his part, Mr Seetohul highlighted the measures undertaken by Landscope Mauritius to reduce the risk of flooding at Caudan Waterfront, notably the upgrading of the north and south underpasses to limit water ingress, the installation of flood barriers and improvements to the drainage system. He also reassured that arrangements have been made to provide safe shelter for people in the area in the event of rising water levels.<\/p><br><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>06 November 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Disaster Risks &amp;

The initiative seeks to encourage\nsafer online behaviour and raise public awareness of the consequences of\nharmful activities on digital platforms.<\/p><p>The\ncampaign was announced by the Minister of Information Technology, Communication\nand Innovation, Dr Avinash Ramtohul, during a press conference organised by the\nMinistry, in collaboration with the Information and Communication Technologies\nAuthority, at SICOM Tower in Eb\u00e8ne.<\/p><p>Dr\nRamtohul highlighted the growing incidence of cyber-related offences in\nMauritius. According to figures from the Computer Emergency Response Team of\nMauritius (CERT-MU), 5,754 cyber incidents were reported between 01 January and\n05 November 2026, representing an average of nearly 19 incidents daily.<\/p><p>These\nincluded 1,697 cases of online harassment, 761 cases of cyberbullying, 723\ncases of scams and fraud, 603 reports of fake news, 438 cases of identity\ntheft, 225 cases of sextortion and 61 cases involving child exploitation and\nabuse.<\/p><p>The\nMinister stressed that social media should remain a space for communication and\nfreedom of expression instead of being used to harass, intimidate or exploit\nothers. He clarified that the campaign is not intended to restrict freedom of\nexpression or legitimate criticism, but to address online behaviour that\nviolates the rights of others.<\/p><p>Regarding\nmeasures to strengthen online safety, Dr Ramtohul indicated that Government is\npursuing a cooperation framework with Meta, which operates Facebook, Instagram\nand WhatsApp. The framework aims to establish dedicated communication channels,\naccelerate responses to serious cases of online abuse, facilitate content\nremoval and preserve digital evidence. Technical assistance and training for\nCERT-MU and law enforcement authorities are also envisaged. According to the\nMinister, the framework is expected to be operational within the next six\nmonths.<\/p><p>Government\nis also working on amendments to the Cybersecurity and Cybercrime Act 2021,\nwhich have been submitted to the Attorney-General's Office for vetting. New\nregulations under the Information and Communication Technologies Act are also\nbeing considered to strengthen online protection for children and young people.<\/p><p>Proposed\nmeasures, subject to discussions with Meta, include a default daily screen-time\nlimit of two hours for teenagers, a School Mode restricting notifications\nbetween 08 00 hrs and 15 00 hrs on school days, and a Sleep Mode blocking\nnotifications between midnight and 06 00 hrs.<\/p><p>Dr\nRamtohul also highlighted the importance of protecting victims of online abuse,\nparticularly women affected by the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.\nIn this context, Government is exploring cooperation with Stop Non-Consensual\nIntimate Image Abuse, an initiative aimed at preventing the circulation of\nintimate images without consent on participating digital platforms. Support and\nreporting mechanisms for victims are also expected to be strengthened.<\/p><p>To\nfacilitate the reporting of cyber incidents, a dedicated Cyber Incident Call\nCentre, staffed by trained personnel, will soon be established. The Minister\nexplained that it would complement the existing Mauritian Cybercrime Online\nReporting System, administered by CERT-MU, which enables the public to report\ncybercrimes for assessment and referral to the relevant authorities.<\/p><p>Beyond\nthese measures, Dr Ramtohul stressed that promoting responsible social media\nuse also required collective effort. He urged parents to remain attentive to\ntheir children's online activities, encouraged young people to recognise the\ndangers of cyberbullying and exploitation, and called on all users to verify\ninformation before sharing it and act responsibly online. He emphasised that\nwhile disagreement was part of democracy, abuse and intimidation should never\nbe normalised.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>10 November 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Information Technology, Innovation, Media<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Notice of Vacancy - EWF<\/h1><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

These priorities are central to the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) Regional Focal Points Meeting \u2013 FOCUS on Open Education Africa, which opened this morning  in Eb\u00e8ne .<br><\/p><p>The meeting brings together regional focal points and representatives of higher education institutions to explore ways of advancing open education and expanding learning opportunities across Africa, over the next two days. Key themes on the agenda include open and distance learning, micro-credentials, artificial intelligence (AI) and AI governance, with a view to strengthening collaboration between COL and its member countries.<\/p><p>The Minister of Tertiary Education, Science and Research, Dr Kaviraj Sharma Sukon, and the President and Chief Executive Officer of COL, Professor Peter Scott, were among the personalities present at the opening ceremony.<\/p><p>In his address, Dr Sukon highlighted the importance of aligning higher education with the evolving needs of the labour market. He pointed to the inclusion of micro-credentials in the Higher Education Act and the ongoing review of university curricula as important steps towards equipping graduates with industry-relevant skills. He emphasised that closer collaboration between academia and industry is essential to developing programmes that meet employers\u2019 requirements and address the mismatch between labour market demand and the supply of skills.<\/p><p>Minister Sukon also spoke about the need for higher education institutions to adapt their teaching and assessment methods to the growing influence of AI. While underscoring the importance of appropriate guidelines and regulations to ensure its responsible use, he underlined AI\u2019s potential to promote personalised learning by helping educators identify students\u2019 strengths and weaknesses and provide targeted support. <\/p><p>He further called for stronger regional cooperation to address challenges such as limited internet connectivity and access to electricity, which continue to hinder the expansion of digital education in parts of Africa.<\/p><p>As for Professor Scott, he underscored the importance of collective action among Commonwealth member countries in addressing educational inequalities and ensuring that young people have a voice in shaping their future. He commended Mauritius for its commitment to educational innovation and employability, and highlighted the value of sharing experiences and expertise among the Commonwealth\u2019s 56 member countries to advance education through stronger partnerships.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>11 November 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a

implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) opened this morning at\nLe Labourdonnais Hotel in Port Louis. It brings together representatives and\nexperts from across the Indian Ocean region to share experiences, address\nchallenges in regulating conventional arms transfers and explore practical\nmeasures to strengthen national arms control systems and regional cooperation\nin combating illicit arms trafficking.<\/p><p>Organised by the Government of Mauritius in collaboration with Expertise\nFrance under the European Union Partner-to-Partner (EU P2P) Programme, the\nworkshop, being held from 11 to 13 November 2026, focuses on regional security\nchallenges, national arms transfer control mechanisms, transparency, reporting\nobligations and technical assistance.<\/p><p>Several personalities were present at the opening ceremony, including: the\nDeputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) and Commanding Officer of the Special\nMobile Force, Mr Premanand Budhoo; the First Secretary of the Delegation of the\nEuropean Union to Mauritius and Seychelles, Mr Marios Vitos; and the Technical\nDirector of the EU P2P ATT Programme at Expertise France, Mr Benjamin\nHautecouverture.<\/p><p>In his address, DCP Budhoo highlighted the importance of the regional\nworkshop in promoting the universalisation and effective implementation of the ATT.\nHe emphasised that the Treaty plays a crucial role in ensuring responsible,\ntransparent and accountable transfers of conventional arms, while preventing\ntheir diversion towards illicit activities that can fuel organised crime,\nterrorism and regional instability.<\/p><p>Mr Budhoo underscored the particular relevance of the workshop to\nMauritius and the wider Indian Ocean region, given the strategic importance of\nmaritime trade routes and their vulnerability to illicit trafficking and\ntransnational security threats. He underpinned that addressing these challenges\nrequires stronger regional cooperation, improved information sharing and\neffective national control mechanisms. For Small Island Developing States such\nas Mauritius, he observed, coordinated regional action is essential to\nsafeguarding peace and security.<\/p><p>For his part, Mr Vitos underlined the EU's commitment to supporting the ATT\nuniversalisation and implementation. He indicated that the fourth phase of the\nEU outreach programme, with a budget of \u20ac3.1 million, adopts a demand-driven\napproach to assist countries in addressing legal, administrative and technical\nchallenges.<\/p><p>As for Mr Hautecouverture, he outlined the workshop's programme, which\nincludes assessments of regional arms trafficking threats, discussions on\nnational export control policies, transparency and reporting and exchanges of\ngood practices. He moreover dwelt on the importance of identifying concrete\nactions and opportunities for cooperation and assistance so as to strengthen\nregional security.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>11 November 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Multilateral Cooperation, Training<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Provision of Services for Scanning, Indexing, Uploading &amp; Quality Control of Historical Documents at the National Archives Department<\/h1><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>11 November 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Culture<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>IFB - Procurement of Facilities Management and 24\/7 Operation<\/h1><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>11 November 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Health, Tenders<\/p><a href='index.php' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><\/body>\r\n<\/html>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breaking News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4083","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4083"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4083\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4087,"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4083\/revisions\/4087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
