At its Seventy-first session, the Regional Committee for Africa adopted a procedure for accreditation of regional non-State actors not in official relations with WHO to participate in sessions of the WHO Regional Committee for Africa. Accreditation is a privilege that the WHO Regional Committee for Africa may grant to regional nongovernmental organizations, international business associations and philanthropic foundations, in accordance with the WHO Framework of Engagement with Non-State Actors (FENSA). All accredited non-State actors will be able to participate, upon invitation and without the right to vote, in sessions of the Regional Committee and to submit written and/or oral statements.
This accreditation procedure is meant for non-State actors which are not in official relations with WHO. Non-State actors in official relations with WHO can receive an invitation to participate in the meetings of the Regional Committee for Africa without undergoing this accreditation procedure.
