UN Development Programme responds to open letter condemning signing of MoU

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) says it is engaging with the Musina Makhado Special Economic Zone (MMSEZ) in Limpopo as part of its efforts to promote socioeconomic development that is environmentally and socially sustainable and help overcome poverty, inequality and unemployment. 

This is contained in the UNDP’s recent response to an open letter from non-governmental organisations and academics, which condemned the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in March between the UN agency and the MMSEZ, an industrial mega-project.
