THE 17TH INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF AFTICAN BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE (IAABD)
ARUSHA, TANZANIA, MAY 11 TO 14, 2016.
GOOD GOVERNANCE AND PROPER BUSINESS POLICIES TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE AFRICAN BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Opening Speech by the Guest of Honor, Honorable Kalist Lazaro Bukhay, The Lord Mayor of the City of Arusha, Tanzania.
It is my great pleasure and privilege, as the Lord Mayor of the City of Arusha, to welcome you to this esteemed Conference and to the City of Arusha and to Tanzania. It will continue to be our great pleasure to make you feel at home in our city during your busy stay in Arusha.
I am especially excited by the Main theme of your Conference: Good Governance and Proper Business Policies Towards Sustainable African Business Development. As the Mayor of this city, I chair all development projects and programs in our city of about half a million people. We are not only talking of development, we are indeed talking of sustainable development, a goal that is at a priority of our people and our business community. It is from this perspective that I applaud and appreciate your main theme for this Conference, a theme being discussed just in the nick of time when our desire is to reduce poverty among our African peoples.
As leaders, we know that Good Governance is absolutely essential for Sustainable Business Development. We know that Good Governance is a catalyst for Sustainable Business Development anywhere, and in our Continent, this is a discussion that is taking place at the right time. We are therefore expecting that this Distinguished Conference will spell out practical guidelines and directives that we in Africa can use to achieve our goals of Sustainable Development. We are anxiously waiting to get new and innovative ideas that will inspire our African Governments to create an atmosphere in which the Business Community can feel free to do Business, to grow and expand in all directions.
We therefore urge you, as accomplished academicians, to state it clearly to our African Governments that good, transparent and accountable governance is a paramount facilitating condition for Sustainable Business Development in Africa. Let it be clear that a successful Public Private Partnership will thrive in Africa if our governments will let Business be innovative and creative in a free market environment as long as these Businesses follow the law and abide by high ethical standards.
We are also expecting that you keen academicians in your various fields of business studies will admonish our African Business Community to be ethical and accountable in all their transactions. African businesses will be successful in a win-win situation if they give reasonable salaries and other benefits to their employees, if they produce products that are user friendly, if they protect the environment in which they work, and if they are conscious of their duty to contribute positively to the development of the communities that surround them: Corporate Social Responsibility. When Businesses and Companies keep the interests of their stake holders at their heart, everyone benefits. It is a win-win situation that in the finally analysis makes business sustainable and beneficial. This kind of business pays
.
Let me again welcome you to our beloved home, the city of Arusha, and to our beloved country, Tanzania. Arusha is privileged to be the capital city of six sub-sahara countries which are: Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and South Sudan. Arusha is the Headquarters of the East African Community, formed by those six countries. It is my hope that you will get a few hours out of your busy schedule to visit the main offices of this Community right in the Central Business District of Arusha.
Arusha is also the capital city of Tourism, not only in Tanzania, but also in the East African Region. Some of the greatest and most awesome natural of humanity are right close to the city of Arusha. We are talking here of the highest Mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, which is visible from Arusha on a clear day.
And overshadowing the City of Arusha, as if to embrace it, is Mount Meru, the second highest Mountain in Tanzania, on the slopes of which Ngurdoto Hotel is situated. Then there is Arusha National Park that is a stone’s throw from this hotel. A few hours from Arusha you will find two National Parks, the Tarangire National Park and Manyara National Park, both situated in the heart of the famous Rift Valley. Lake Manyara is the mother of Manyara National Park, as it feeds the wild life and vegetation in the Park.
Several hours from Arusha, you will find one of the seven wonders of the world: the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a breath-taking natural heritage that everyone who can should visit. If you have time to visit only one of these natural wonders, then that place is the Ngorongoro National Park. You really do not want to miss this one. But this is not all. In Tanzania we have seventeen National Parks and Reserves, not counting the beautiful and historical islands of Zanzibar and Pemba, the beautiful beaches of the Indian Ocean to the East, and a wonderful country side that punctuates every place that you visit. How wonderful that the organizers of this International Conference have chosen to come to Arusha.
Before I close this speech I would like to again welcome you to this city and to this country. You have a unique opportunity to do business and pleasure during this conference and after this conference. In conclusion, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now my great pleasure to declare that this International Conference is open.
THANK YOU.
