Page 8District 9150
1. Rotary clubs are deemed too elitist and seem to compete with some religious organizations
2. The major countries of the district (DRC and Cameroon) are declining in a very difficult economic and religious context
3. Gabon and Burundi have been growing regularly4. Meeting times and places are not suitable for many
Rotarians (major cities)5. Several countries have recent or persistent political
tensions (CAR, DRC)6. It is less difficult to create clubs in cities with an
economic and social fabric stable
Learnings

1. Split into 2 districts by the year 2020 :– Cameroon, Gabon, Eq. Guinea, CAR, STP, Chad :
2.678.000 km2– Burundi, Congo, DRC, Rwanda : 2.741.000 km2
2. Increase membership up to 2.262 members in 104 clubs

local realities and socio-cultural brakes :• Be proud to be Rotarian and show it together with the beneficiaries
of actions• Make available and share the Rotary with all those who are ready to
adhere to the values of Rotary
