Conference Agenda
The Diaspora 2 London is a follow-up to the first Tanzania Diaspora Conference held in London on the 18th April 2008. As it was the case with Tanzania Diaspora and Skills Conference the Tanzanian private sector has been invited to participate. These include banks, NHC and estate agents, employment agencies and strategic companies that will be targeting to employ people from the Diaspora.
Tanzanian companies as well as Tanzanian NGOs and groups operating in the UK will be encouraged to take out a table for display of their activities. Institutions and entities that have a bearing on the Diaspora such as the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Bank of Tanzania (concerning remittances mobilization), Ministry of Lands (concerning land allocation) and CRDB (concerning Tanzanite Account), Commercial Banks (Concerning home finance loans) have been invited to make presentations.
Objectives
Diaspora 2- London is necessary for the following reasons:
*To review the outcome of Diaspora 1 and what has been achieved both by Government and the TA-UK.
*To acknowledge the growing recognition of the value and importance of the Diaspora and to consider how the Government can lend greater organizational structure to the Diaspora to consolidate their capacity to organize and to engage with the Government
*To deepen the links between the Diaspora and their Government and their home country
*To acknowledge the growing need of qualified Diaspora to relocate back to Tanzania following the opportunities now apparent back home and to find ways of facilitating their relocation
*To acknowledge the presence and consider ways to facilitate repatriation of many Tanzanians in the Diaspora who came to the UK for various reasons and who now would like to return home.
*To explore further opportunities for enhanced engagement between the Government and the Diaspora and to devise strategies for way forward particularly in view of current policy of the UK and other European countries to block entry and the loss of many jobs following last years global financial crisis.
*To consider the creation of a Diaspora Committee to advise the Government and to lobby Parliament on matters of interest to the Diaspora.

ReplyDeleteSasa hii dispora ndo ile nabii yohanna mashaka anaongelea? Mbona sasa yeye hajaalikwa? Hivi anaishi wapi?
ReplyDeletetungeomba nchi zote zishilikwishe atleast za eu.
ReplyDeletetunaomba mualiko tuuzulie, au tuandae mkutano mwingine middle eu
Huyu bwana diapora mbona anavuma sana siku hizi, anataka nini huyu diaspora?
ReplyDeleteKwa Michuzi,
ReplyDeleteHitakuwa si sahihi mheshimiwa Membe kwenda UK tuu kwani hii issue inauhusu diaspora wote. Hivyo basi waandaaji wa shughuli hii tunaomba tujumuishe wadau wote wa EU kudhuria , ilituweze kutoa mawazo yote. kama ni kwa ajili ya UK only basi tunaomba Michuzi tusaidie kufikisha ujumbe kwa Mheshimiwa Membe hata sisi watu wa EU tungeomba fursa hii tupate kuongea na Mheshimiwa.
Tunaomba Mheshimiwa kutumia balozi zake tuandae Mkutano kwa middle Europe au tuchague vitua viwili berlin na Rome.
Si vyema aje kukutana na watu wa UK pekeyake na si tunamengi ya kusema kuhusu swala hili.
ikiwezekana tuwekee contact za waandaaji.
shukrani.
Ankal nakushukuru kwa kutuhabarisha kuhusu huu mkutano muhimu. Mimi nimefurahi kwa jitihada zinazofanywa na Ubalozi wetu London kutukutanisha tena baada ya mkutano wa 2008. Naona pia wadau wameanza kutoa maoni yao hapa kuhusu mkutano huu.
ReplyDeleteNi kweli, nakubaliana na huyo mdau hapo juu kwamba kuna haja ya kuwa na mkutano wa diaspora wa EU wote. Lakini naona mdau hakusoma details za tangazo, kwamba waandaaaji ni Ubalozi wa London kwa kushirikiana na Jumuiya ya Watanzania, Uingereza (TA-UK), sio Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje.
Kwa maana hiyo nategemea mtaelewa kwamba kama kuna Diaspora mahala pengine walitakiwa nao waji-organise, kama wenzao wa London na kuwasiliana na Ubalozi ulio karibu nao ili wafanye Mkutano. Wakishajiandaa, wampe mwaliko Waziri Membe, tuone kama atawakatalia. Tukumbuke kwamba mwaka jana Washngton nao waliandaa na Waziri alikwenda.
Aidha nakumbuka tulikuwa na Mkutano wa Diaspora wote uliofanyika Dar es Salaam mwaka jana. Matangazo mengi yalisambazwa, je, wadau wangapi toka huku ughaibuni walikwenda au hata kufuatilia?
Suala la muhimu hapa kwa wadau nadhani ni kujituma zaidi kwenye kuunda jumuiya na kufuatilia mambo mbalimbali, wala si kuwalaumu waandaaji kwa kutowashirikisha wengine.
