  The ORCEA, a non-profit organization, has worked
since the mid 2001. It is supervised and directed by
the Kilimanjaro Centre for Community Ophthalmology

support the VISION 2020 programme and to provide
the eye care providers in the eastern Africa region
with the relevant information on community eye health.
ORCEA provides both local and distance service for
eye care workers in Eastern Africa.
