(Business in Cameroon) - The General Secretary of the Economic Community of Central African States (CEEAC), Ahmad Allam-Mi, received on 30 March in Libreville, the former Director of the African Union’s Inter-African Bureau of Animal Resources (AU-IBAR), Modibo Traoré, as consultant on the implementation process to make the Central African Regional Animal Health Centre operational (CRSA-AC).

Regarding the location of the Centre, Ahmad Allam-Mi supported the idea of turning the offices of the Commission économique du bétail, de la viande et des ressources halieutiques (Cebevirha - Livestock, Meat and Fisheries Economic Commission) into the headquarters of the Central African Regional Animal Health Centre. “Considering the ongoing streamlining process between CEEAC and CEMAC, using the headquarters of Cebevirha would only be a plus for CEEAC as it would enable us to extend the activities to the other four CEEAC members who are not CEMAC members, namely: Angola, DR Congo, Sao Tomé & Principe and Rwanda”, indicated Ahmad Allam-Mi.

Chad will host said Centre. And to show good will, Ndjamena promised to offer all the amenities and benefits to the future management of CRSA-AC.
