Tanzania U.S. Embassy Charge d' Affaires, Mr. Larry Andre, gives a speech during the Pongwe Clinic Dedication Ceremony in Tanzania on May 15. The Pongwe Clinic renovation project was funded by Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa in partnership with U.S. Africa Command. The $116,000 renovation project included rehabilitation and conversion of an existing five room section of the clinic, and converted it into a seven room surgical suite. The Pongwe Clinic is essential to the people of Tanga and services more than 11,000 citizens throughout the Pongwe Ward. The surgical suite will improve healthcare in the area and effectively promote regional stability in Tanzania. The service members of CJTF-HOA, headquartered in Djibouti, employ an indirect approach to counter violent extremism. Through a strategy of cooperative conflict prevention the task force helps build the internal capacities of countries at risk to prevail against extremists exploiting instability.
