Dear Colleagues,
I would like to thank all of you who voted for me to the positions of the Chairman and Vice President for IBE Africa Region. I would like to pledge to work with all our chapters and work towards increasing the number of chapters in our region, which currently stands at 19 out of 46 Countries with the population of 639,631,000 people.
The African Regional Committee is the fastest growing IBE region. In 2000 IBE had just seven members in Africa; now, seven years later there are 18 Full Members in the region. The African Regional Committee is now the second largest of IBE’s Regional Committees after Europe.
Chair: Anthony Zimba, Zambia
Vice Chair: Jacob Mugumbate, Zimbabwe
Secretary: Noeline de Goede, South Africa
Every IBE Full and Associate Member belongs to a Regional Committee, with the region determined closely in line with the WHO regional boundaries. At the present time IBE has 18 Full (voting) Members and 1 Associate (non-voting) Member in the African Region.
