Chief Executive Officer<\/p>\n

National AIDS Council<\/p>\n

National AIDS Council Secretariat<\/p>\n

No. 100 Central Avenue Harare-Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

Dear Dr. Bernard Madzima,<\/p>\n

I am writing on behalf of the Society for AIDS in Africa, the custodian of the International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa (ICASA). We are pleased to inform you that based on the assessment visit conducted on the 28th September to 1st October 2022 in Zimbabwe, and the deliberation of SAA Board Council members, the BID of Zimbabwe to host ICASA 2023 has been approved. However, before the official announcement, the right to host ICASA 2023 should be signed between the Society for AIDS in Africa and the host country.<\/p>\n

Attached is the draft MOU including the ICASA 2023 Charter for your perusal. The Society for AIDS in Africa is proposing to sign the MOU between 17\u2032\u2032 to 19\u2032 October 2022 in Zimbabwe and to also launch officially the announcement of ICASA 2023 Zimbabwe, 4th to 9\u2032\u2032 December 2023.<\/p>\n

We are also planning to launch the call for ICASA 2023 Logo as well as the Call for ICASA 2023 thematics during the event of ICASA 2023 Host country MOU signatory and announcement.<\/p>\n

Dear Dr. Bernard Madzima, kindly accept our congratulations as the host of ICASA 2023 and extend our greetings to President of Zimbabwe, the Vice President and good people of Zimbabwe. We believe that ICASA 2023 will be a turning point in our quest to strengthen the health system in Africa towards the end of AIDS.<\/p>\n
