Based on this agreed structure, six members were for the first time elected as the Executive Committee for a two year period on December 16th 2006 . Two members each were elected from Eastern, Southern and Western Africa to compose the six member committee. Hon. Anne Makinda ( Tanzania) and Hon. Soulé Adam ( Benin) were then elected by their colleagues as the Chair and Vice Chair respectively.
