Now days we hear a lot about diasporas oversea but the problem we have so far is the heavy involvements of ccm government in these events oversea. I don't think most of us think ccm is good for our country neither their policies but we see the trends that these diasporas get too cozy with embassy officials in UK and US. The other issues here is image these diasporas portraits to the Tanzanians oversea and we predict 'diasporas already collapse'

Many who already attended some of these politicals events for ccm, we saw nothing neither indicates 'ccm accepts all the failures in our country nor they are ready to promote democratic environment' to realy change our country. In most of these events we find many ccm and kikwete government officials attended just to collect and defend kikwete's failures. We all agree that Tanzanians oversea need to change their country but this is not how we are going to do it. The major obstacles we have is still the constitution and the business plat form condusive for all Tanzanians. The truth is we will dance around 'promoting Tanzania to investors' and 'attracting more investments' but the truth is if ccm failed to curb corruption and civil rights these events are just as normal DC and Ohio parties.

If kikwete show up in Washington (we doubt it), he should be asked about Election, New Constitution, Richmond, Dowans, EPA, Protesters death, Trilions in Budget for ccm poshos and other in justice in Tanzania. We all know nothing will atrract investors if we don't have Strong Constitution and Basic Civil Rights for Tanzanians. These questions should be address to whoever show up and this time they must respond and not collecting writing notes for nothing, did ccm heard these during elections? Do you need ccm and embassies to promote Tanzania? What's the role of Tanzania embassies? How much of these diaspora brought any changes in Tanzania i.e. investments, Taxes, education, healthcare?



The Diaspora Council of Tanzanians in America (DICOTA) in collaboration with The Embassy of the United Republic of Tanzania in the United States is organizing the third convention of Tanzanians in the American Diaspora, to be held in Washington, D.C, on September 22-25, 2011 at the Marriott Washington Dulles Airporthotel. The theme of the conference this year is "Tanzanians in the Diaspora after 50 years of independence". Attendees will include individuals with ties to or of Tanzanian descent, international organizations, government and business leaders from Tanzania and United States, nonprofit and NGO's. The highlight of this conference includes a keynote address by the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, His Excellency Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete. The President has been invited and we are awaiting his response.[
We will celebrate a major landmark – Tanzania turning 50 years since its independence in 1961. We will look back 50 years of the country's existence and celebrate its achievements and courageously look at where we fell short and seek opportunities for improvement. We will look ahead to the country's future: with discussions on how to use the power of technology and innovation to address fundamental challenges facing our society. What will it take to make Tanzania a pioneer not just in the region but also globally? Tanzania is an emerging market with new and vibrant start-up companies. We will hear from these start-up companies that are increasingly taking the lead in generating jobs and positioning Tanzania to be a dynamic leader in business and economic development. Also among many social activities; we will have inter-States Soccer Tournament, Tanzanians soccer teams from different states will be competing for the UHURU Cup.

The vision of DICOTA is to create a social, economic, and business ecosystem that:
· Connects Tanzanians in the Diaspora and at home
· Fosters conscious entrepreneurship in the Tanzanian communities in USA and Tanzania by Educating, Mentoring and Networking
· Helps Tanzanian corporate professionals succeed as entrepreneurs in the corporate environment
· Prioritizes higher education among Tanzanians at home and abroad
· Contributes to the health and wellbeing of Tanzanians at home and abroad

DICOTA is dedicated to the virtuous cycle of wealth creation and economic development of Tanzania and America. DICOTA's focus is on generating and nurturing our next generation– our children.

DICOTA's goal is to exchange ideas, best practices and debate issues with inter governmental agencies and organizations, and to be a catalyst of even better cooperation (Economic, Cultural, Education, Technology, Social Services, and Sports) between the United States of America and Tanzania. DICOTA will engage in investment, job creation, higher education, and development projects. DICOTA will celebrate cultural traditions of Tanzania and America and offer social activities for their members.

DICOTA is firmly grounded in the belief in a democratic, non-theocratic, culturally and economically inclusive Tanzania. DICOTA is an independent, non-partisan, non-sectarian organization dedicated to the promotion of knowledge about Tanzania and to the country's economic growth. The organization hopes to be a credible, constructive and independent voice on Tanzania. Through its body of work, DICOTA will serve as a source for constructive dialogue and a catalyst for positive change in Tanzania, and will offer a diverse Tanzanian voice in public discourse in the United States of America on current issues concerning Tanzania.

HIV/AIDS is still a health issue in Ghana. Though there are rigorous campaigns, infection rates continue to rise. Ghana Aids Commission indicate that about 160,000 children have been orphaned by the disease. How do we stop the spread? Is there a national policy on HIV/AIDS?

Education continues to be the life line to solving the economic woes of many countries. In Ghana there is high level of educated folks but no employable skills. Has the JSS SSS concept failed or do we need to revisit the idea?
