Minister in the Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation and Chairperson of the National Planning Commission, Jeff Radebe has been appointed to the Stewardship Board of the World Economic Forum (WEF) System Initiative on the Future of Education, Gender and Work (EGW).

This opportunity comes along the lines of South Africa’s trusted partnership with WEF.  Minister Radebe was invited to join the board, comprising 20 to 40 global leaders drawn from the public and private sectors. He will be expected to provide leadership on selected issues relating to Education, Gender and Work.

“I am pleased to be part of a board that seeks to cultivate collective leadership on public private initiatives with the objective of ensuring that 8 billion people worldwide can live up to their full potential by developing and deploying their talent for maximum benefit to the economy and society”, said Radebe.
