The following year, after another such assembly approved a Plan of Action for a Global Polio Eradication Initiative, the WHO Regional Committee for Africa took up the assembly's resolution, and in 1995 again urged the vigorous implementation of the strategies for the polio eradication initiative. The African Union, at its annual summit meeting of African heads of state in 1996, endorsed the eradication initiative.
