2 hrs ago | Views
Zimbabwe has two prominent candidates still in the running for key positions within the African Union Commission (AUC).
Dr. Agness is vying for the position of Commissioner for Health, a critical role that will focus on the health and well-being of African citizens, addressing challenges such as disease outbreaks, healthcare infrastructure, and health system improvements across the continent.
Dr. John Basera is competing for the role of Commissioner for Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy, and Sustainable Environment. This position is particularly significant as it will oversee agricultural development, environmental sustainability, and the promotion of the blue economy, all of which are vital for ensuring long-term economic growth and food security in Africa.
These positions are crucial as the African Union continues to work towards its agenda of integration and development, and Zimbabwe's candidates are among those shaping the continent's future in these important sectors. The outcome of this selection will have far-reaching implications, particularly in advancing Africa's health and environmental goals.
