PHA3 mobilisation: Africa Update

Various pre- PHA3 mobilisation activities have begun in the region and in attempt to have a coordinated efforts towards the assembly, mobilisation committees have been set up. Four sub-regional committees have been formed: West Africa, East Africa, Southern Africa and Central.

Contacts of PHM exist in the following countries

West Africa: Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin, Sierra Leone, Gambia and Senegal
East Africa: Tanzania, Kenya, Djibouti, Rwanda, Uganda and Ethiopia
Southern Africa: Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana, Malawi, Angola and South Africa
Central Africa: Cameroun, Gabon, DRC and Congo.

A regional mobilisation committee will be developed from representatives of these sub-regions.

Recently the East Africa sub-regional committee held their first meeting on Wednesday 13 July 2011 to identify possible mobilisation ideas, themes, terms of reference and identifying two representatives for regional mobilisation committee. West Africa also held a meeting on Saturday 16 July and will resume another meeting to ensure all countries in West Africa participate. Efforts are also taking place in Central and Southern Africa to coordinated similar platforms.


We encourage that if you are interested in being part of this exciting assembly and mobilisation that brings together health activists together from across the globe, you can get involved with your sub-regional committee to be involved in different mobilisation activities in the region and country.

You can also post your national efforts or regional efforts directly onto the PHA3 Face book Third People’s Health Assembly or the PHM Africa blog www.phmafrica.blogspot.com of PHM Africa Facebook!!!
