Jacques Dinan, former Executive Secretary (June 2007-May 2015) supports the team in external communication.

Zonal coordination
In order to achieve true cooperation among the Churches, Caritas Africa is subdivided into zones that correspond to the territories of the regional associations of the bishops’ conferences. Thus, Caritas Africa includes: Caritas ACEAC Zone (Association of Episcopal Conferences of Central Africa), Caritas ACERAC Zone (Association of Episcopal Conferences of the Central African Region), Caritas AMECEA Zone (Association of Members of Episcopal Conferences of Eastern Africa), Caritas CEDOI-M Zone (Conférences Episcopales Des îles de l’Océan Indien et de Madagascar) and Caritas IMBISA Zone (Inter-regional Meeting of Bishops In Southern Africa) and Caritas RECOWA-CERAO Zone (Regional Episcopal Conference of Western Africa).

The dynamics of the zone is ensured by a zone coordinator chosen by the member organizations of the zone. The Area Coordinators work closely with the Regional Secretariat to implement the regional work plan and carry out emergency response, advocacy, organizational strengthening, communication and exchange tasks.
