Hafez Ghanem from Egypt, who has been vice-president for Africa since 2018, will now be responsible for East and Southern Africa. Ousmane Diagana from Mauritania will be the vice-president for West and Central Africa. Diagana said that he will have a “strong focus on innovation, impact, and transformation”.
