The fifth African Accreditation Cooperation (AFRAC) general assembly, which was being held at the Elili Hotel for five days, was concluded on September 26, 2014.
The meeting brought different accreditation bodies together at the country and regional level , with the expectation of deciding on issues like the preparation of important documents, the accreditation bodies to be assessed by the AFRAC, chosing directions for the improvement of infrastructure, organising working and technical teams, annual budget and registration fees.
AFRAC has seven full members – the Egyptian Accreditation Council (EGAC), Ethiopian National Accreditation Office (ENAO), Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS), Mauritius Accreditation Service (MAURITAS), Southern Africa Development Community Accreditation Service (SADCAS), South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) and the Tunisia Accreditation Council (TUNAC).
The first AFRAC meeting was held in Egypt in 2010. Since then, the meeting has been held in different countries, with the opportunity finally given to Ethiopia, after the Nairobi, Kenya, meeting in 2013.
