In his distinguished career Professor Mucavele was invited in 2000 by the United Nations to integrate a team of experts to map out a development program for a rapid transfer of technologies to the developing countries. This served as basis for the third conference on science and technology for the development of Least Developed Countries organised by the United Nations. In February of 2001, he was invited to integrate the Steering Committee of African Economists to develop the Millennium Africa Recovery Program (MAP). This programme was approved by the Heads of African States in Lusaka, Zambia in July 2001 and became the New African Initiative. On 23 October 2001, in Abuja Nigeria, it was designated the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). In 1995 Professor Mucavele was one of the three consultants involved in the evaluation of the food, agriculture and natural resources sector coordinating units of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). As an agricultural economist he was involved in the evaluation of agriculture and trade programs, rural development financing and training in food security and nutrition programs.
