It is my pleasure to present to you Jembi’s work over the 2015/2016 financial year. During this time Jembi has developed a diverse range of projects, strengthened its internal systems and secured a number of new long term cooperative agreements, all of which bode well for the organisation’s future. Appropriate and reliable health information is a fundamental component of well functioning health systems which is why Jembi’s work is critical in supporting the improvement of quality of healthcare in Africa. The strength of Jembi is in its staff, who numbered 63 in February with new recruits joining every month. Each member of staff contributes more than they realise to the collective well-being of the organisation and my thanks go to each one of them for their continued hard work. Jembi’s staff are supported by excellent organisational and financial systems, which give the team the confidence to implement small and large projects with excellent results, time and again. In particular I would like to acknowledge the CEO Prof Chris Seebregts who masterfully balances high-level scientific rigour with the operational demands of a growing organisation. This leadership has resulted in greater stability and strong organisational growth during 2015/2016. This growth includes securing a number of five-year cooperative agreements which will allow Jembi to further refine its expertise
