East Africa

 

ICMDA's East Africa region covers the newly formed South Sudan and the horn of Africa down to Tanzania in the South. There are 10 countries or territories here with a combined population of 317 million people, of whom over a third live in Ethiopia.

There are six affiliated groups in the region with the oldest being Uganda's CMF and the newest in Rwanda, who joined in 2023.

There is a strong Christian presence in East Africa, with many of the countries being more than 20% evangelical.

There are 84 medical schools in the region and on average just seven healthcare workers to serve every 10,000 people.
