British Prime Minister Tony Blair in February formed the commission to deliberate on problems that have undermined Africa's social and economic development.
"Mkapa is one of the African leaders requested to be in the commission by the British prime minister shortly after he formed it and Mkapa accepted the request," Mwingira said in a statement sent to AFP on Friday.
She said other members of the commission include Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and British Treasury Secretary Gordon Brown.
Mkapa will return home on May 5. - Sapa- AFP
