The ITUC-Africa has called for the creation of a new work area reflecting the themes of sustainable development and occupational health in order to facilitate the coordination and the promotion of related trade union actions in the region. This is the second regional trade union organization after the ITUC-Latin America that has elaborated a specific work area related to environmental and sustainable development themes.
The successful candidate, Yahya Msangi, will be in charge of work in this area pertaining to climate change, sustainable development, chemical risk and occupational health are challenges so that these themes are better reflected in ITUC-Africa’s agenda.
Mr. Yahya Msangi has many years of experience working with trade union movements and is a great reference person in the area of chemical risk and occupational health especially in the agricultural sector. Yahya has collaborated and supported several of Sustainlabour´s activities undertaken in the past few years and we extend him a warm welcome as he assumes his new post.
