2nd ANNUAL COMPETITION AND ECONOMIC REGULATION (ACER) WEEK, SOUTHERN AFRICA

Venue: Livingstone, Zambia

11 & 12 March 2016

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission of Zambia and the University of Johannesburg’s Centre for Competition, Regulation and Economic Development are honoured to host the 2nd Annual Competition and Economic Regulation (ACER) week in Southern Africa. The ACER week provides a valuable platform for competition authorities and regulators to share knowledge, keep abreast of key developments across the region, and build networks for collaboration between agencies. The 2nd ACER Week will be co-hosted by the Energy Regulation Board of Zambia and the National Energy Regulator of South Africa. The week consists of four intensive short learning programmes (from 8 – 10 March 2016) and a conference on 11 & 12 March 2016. Delegates can attend either or both the courses and conference.

The conference seeks to address issues of direct interest to competition authorities and economic regulators in southern Africa. It is targeted at competition and regulatory authority practitioners, government officials in the field, legal practitioners, regional and international experts, and academics in the competition and regulation fields.
