RELOCATION OF THE RAEIN-AFRICA REGIONAL OFFICE TO PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA
RAEIN-Africa had two evaluations conducted in 2011 and 2012, an internal evaluation commissioned by RAEIN-Africa and another external evaluation that was commissioned by the Donor, DGIS. The two evaluations recommended the relocation of the RAEIN-Africa regional Secretariat office to South Africa for a number of strategic reasons.
On the merit and strength of these recommendations, the RAEIN-Africa Board in their 9th Board meeting, held in Johannesburg, South Africa made the decision to relocate the regional Office to Pretoria, South Africa.
