Reach Out to Africa International Partners
PDG Brad Howard PDG Philippe Lamoise
The Reach Out to Africa committee shall enhance Rotary in Africa with an emphasis on service project development, needs assessments, "hands-on" participation, membership development, partnerships with Rotary clubs in other countries, utilization of RI and TRF resources, and involvement in Rotary programs. The committee shall consider the RI Strategic Plan to improve service opportunities for Rotarians and the goal of enhancing and emphasizing the Family of Rotary and align its recommendations to the plan. Although this is a worldwide committee, 2 of the International Parnters Subcommittee members are Rotarians in Zone 26, and are therefore using this webpage for their specific actions and support of the committee. Goals Mobilize African Rotarians in developing service projects that address community needs and motivate them to include "hands on" participation in these projects. Build awareness among Rotarians in developed countries on the compelling needs of the continent and motivate them in deploying resources to address these needs. Develop partnerships among Rotary clubs in Africa, Rotary clubs in other countries, and international organizations interested in humanitarian service. To include a special advocacy role for countries that share a language or close ties with Africa. Provide guidance on Rotary International and Foundation programs to Rotary clubs in Africa, especially as a resource for service projects and partnering with clubs in other countries. Facilitate communication and better understanding among Rotarians of different nations, religions, beliefs, cultures and communities as they work together. Involve youth and the Family of Rotary in the Reach Out to Africa Initiative to build bridges of understanding. Promote Rotary values and increase membership in Africa. Improve communication and the image of Rotary in Africa.
