History
1963, by resolution 4/39 of 39th Council Session of B-XB0971 - FAO, on agreement of FAO, B-XB3548 - WHO and the then H-XH3797 - Commission for Technical Cooperation in Africa South of the Sahara (CTCA), as Joint FAO/WHO/CCTA Commission. On CCTA ceasing activity, 1964-1965, the functions it performed in the Joint Commission were gradually absorbed by H-XD3027 - Organization of African Unity (OAU). New Statutes reflecting this change in sponsorship were accepted by resolution 1/59 of FAO Council, 1972. First Session: Sep 1974. Ceased to exist.
