The initiative held in Lecce was clearly intended

for the future and be instrumental in promoting

the development of a common language for

engineering matters.

It wanted to demonstrate that cooperation

policies between countries in areas full of

potential and opportunities, would be beneficial

for engineering developments in a wide range of

sectors like economics and finance as well as in

the social and cultural fields.

The model could be

welcomed in areas

bigger than the

Mediterranean basin

Africa could be the first continent where we can

replicate the model and grow it gradually from

the borders of the Mediterranean through the

Arab territories to the coasts of South Africa with

the committed patronage of engineering

organisations.

In Abuja, Nigeria, at the WECSI - World Engineering Conference on Sustainable Infrastructure - the signature of common Heads of Agreement between the Mediterranean Organisations of Engineers as a result of the general consensus on the EAMC initiative and its operative framework was presented and aroused wide interest in extending the initiative to the African continent

Federation of African Engineering Organizations (FAEO) including its following organisations: 1. WAFEO (Western Africa Federation of the Engineering Organizations) 2. SAFEO (Southern Africa Federation of the Engineering Organizations) 3. EAFEO (Eastern Africa Federation of the Engineering Organizations) 4. CAFEO (Central Africa Federation of the Engineering Organizations) And its member organisations among which: Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Benin, Republic Togo, Gambia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique, Seychelles, Zambia, Malawi, Mauritius, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Cameroon, Chad, Gabon

Making EAMC known at the WECSI 2014 and

the wide acknowledgment of its strategic

valences has laid the foundation for possible

replicas stage-managed initially in the Arab

countries and later in the whole Africa.
