Tuesday, January 17, 2012
A Congressional delegation traveling in Africa visited Arusha, Tanzania, on Wednesday "to see first-hand the impact of development projects" funded by the U.S., IPP Media reports, noting that the delegation included Senators Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), John Thune (R-S.D.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), and Rep. Kay Granger (R-Tex.). The delegation met with farmers who have used drought- and disease-resistant maize varieties, as well as "visited Ngarenaro Health Centre in Arusha, which receives support from private and U.S. government organizations," including USAID, the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), and PEPFAR, the news service writes. According to a press statement, "the delegation also visited Ghana and South Africa, and would meet with the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) officials in Stuttgart, Germany, following their trip to Africa," IPP notes (1/14).
