''It's now clear where we are heading as far as communication is concerned in the Africa Scout Region'' Commented Elzette Balgobin, Manager for the Indian Ocean Scout Sub-Region, reacting to the launch of the strategy. The strategy proposes an overall evaluation exercise at the end of the triennium.
