The Eastern Africa Diaspora Business Council, EADBC, will convene
its first annual “Engaging the Diaspora for Eastern Africa Global Competitiveness”
Business Forum at Uganda House in
New York City on September 23, 2013 from 11:00 am – 5:00
pm. The forum is the premier event for
finding and building partnerships between government and business leaders from
the US and East Africa. Diaspora-catalyzed funding and investment structures in
energy, technology and mission delivery will be discussed, with high level
representation for five East African countries including Kenya, Tanzania,
Uganda, Burundi, and Rwanda. Key guests include the, East Africa Presidents (invited), the East Africa Secretary
General Ambassador Dr. Sezibera and H.E Isaac Ruto - Chairman Council of
Governors.
With a sub-theme of “Leveraging the Diaspora’s Technical
Capacity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship”, the EADBC will engage US
and East Africa public and private sector partners on achieving Trade
Africa and Power Africa objectives. Recently, the East Africa Secretary
General said that “we need to trade our way out of poverty”. The forum will
produce deeper coordination between elements of the trade and development
initiatives and explore trade and investment opportunities for the US private
sector that are offered by the East Africa Community.
The Business Forum will also open opportunities for building new
partnerships through exclusive networking events, including a Welcome Reception
at 11:00 am and a Close-out Networking Reception at 5:00 pm. Participants will also have the opportunity
to network with key African and U.S. private sector and government
representatives, and learn more about engaging Diaspora resources in the Obama
Administration’s Power Africa, Trade Africa and other Africa-focused
initiatives.
