<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The African pharmaceutical sector is expected to grow tremendously in the coming years. The opportunity is such that public-private synergies are key to the development of the industry. These were the conclusions that emerged from the first African Pharmaceutical Summit, held on September 23 and 24 in Hammamet, Tunisia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 10 per cent, Africa is the second most dynamic pharmaceutical market after Asia Pacific, with a pharmaceutical spending expected to reach $30 billion by 2016. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Co-organized by the African Development Bank and the Africa Health journal, the African Pharmaceutical Summit drew over 130 participants from around the world. The summit is the first platform to bring together high-level policy-makers, Ministers of Health, Industry, Trade, and Finance, CEOs, experts from pharmaceutical manufacturers, universities, institutions and organizations to debate the future strategies of Africa’s pharmaceutical industry. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The important meeting was an opportunity to highlight the need of public-private partnerships which are more than ever necessary to seize opportunities in this sector and improve the health of Africans.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Abdellatif Mekki, Tunisian Minister of Health, expressed his support for the development of African partnerships in this emerging economic area. He said that such partnerships would significantly improve the access to medicine and harmonization of laws in Africa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As the premier financing and development institution for Africa, the AfDB has a unique role to play in the public-private dialogue in the pharmaceutical sector. With this first edition of the African Pharmaceutical Summit, the Bank provides an opportunity to create a business-to-business platform aimed at building partnerships, strengthening collaboration and engaging key stakeholders in meaningful discussion around Africa’s pharmaceutical sector.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mthuli Ncube, Chief Economist and Vice-President at the African Development Bank, pointed out “the current political momentum in the pharmaceutical sector development in Africa. Although the African pharmaceutical market represents only two per cent in global terms, it is the fastest-growing in the world,” he said. “There is a window of opportunity considering the strong demographic dynamics, the growth of the consumer spending power in Africa, although the continent accounts for the bulk of the global infectious disease burden.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Feng Zhao, Manager of the Health Division of the AfDB’s Human Capital Development Department, acknowledged that there were a number of challenges to overcome in Africa. In the context of the current financial crisis, huge up-front investments are needed to boost the industry, he said. “New business models and partnerships applicable to Africa should be designed to better meet the specificity of the continent,” he added. “We have already launched several initiatives and we continue to offer our support to develop the potential of this sector.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The AfDB has embarked on an ambitious program to support its Ten-Year Strategy for 2013- 2022. Through the Human Capital Development Department, the Bank has defined its priorities for the pharmaceutical industry supporting private-sector development and regional economic integration. These two pillars are pushing Africa to be a key player in the global pharmaceutical market.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Investments in skills and technology are also at the centre of the Bank’s development agenda. Given the specific nature of the African pharmaceutical industry, technology and innovation can be harnessed to accelerate inclusive growth and job creation in the sector.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/(http://www.afdb.org">The AfDB</a> has undertaken several initiatives to assist the public and private sector, NGOs and institutes in Africa in the development of innovative solution in the health sector. In this context, the first edition of the African Pharmaceutical Summit celebrated 10 recipients of AfDB e-health award. During the summit, the winners received a certificate recognizing their innovative contributions and solutions in the emerging areas of e-health and m-health in Africa.</span></div>

Maalim Seif: ataka waislam kuwa pamoja

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Makamu wa Kwanza wa Rais wa Zanzibar Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad, ametoa wito kwa waislamu kuungana kutokana na mambo ya msingi yaliyomo katika dini hiyo na kuacha kutofautia kwa sababu ya madhehebu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amesema kuwa na madhehebu tofauti ni neema katika dini, hivyo hakuna sababu ya kugawanyika kutokana na tofauti ya madhehbu waliyonayo waislamu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Maalim Seif ametoa nasaha hizo wakati akifunga rasmi Ijtimai ya Kimataifa iliyofanyika Mjini Sumbawanga, Mkoani Rukwa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amesema ni jambo la kushangaza kuona waislamu wanakubaliana katika mambo ya msingi, lakini wanatofautiana na kulumbana kwa mambo madogo ambayo hayana athari ndani ya misingi na mihimili mikuu ya dini.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amefahamisha kuwa iwapo waislamu wataungana na kuwa kitu kimoja, wataweza kuwashinda maadui wa Uislamu ambao siku zote wamekuwa wakishabikia migawanyiko ndani ya dini hiyo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">KWa upande mwengine amesema wakati waislamu wakijadili juu ya maadili ya dini yao, pia hawana budi kuhimizana katika kukabiliana na maadui wanaoathiri maendeleo ya nchi ikiwa ni pamoja na janga la UKIMWI pamoja na matumizi ya dawa za kulevya.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amesema majanga hayo kwa kiasi kikubwa yanatokana na kuporomoka kwa maadili, na kwamba wanaoathirika zaidi ni vijana ambao ndio nguvu kazi ya Taifa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ameongeza kuwa ni wajibu wa masheikh, walimu, wazazi na jamii kwa ujumla kushiriki kikamilifu katika kuelimishana juu ya majanga hayo, sambamba na kuachana na makatazo ya Mwenyezi Mungu yakiwemo pia vitendo vya zinaa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amesema, inaweza kueirejesha jamii katika maadili mema iwapo waislamu watakubali kufuata misingi thabiti na miongozo sahihi iliyomo katika uislamu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Naye Kadhi Mkuu wa Zanzibar Sheikh Khamis Haji, amewahimiza waislamu waliohudhuria katika Ijtimai hiyo ya siku nne, kuitumia kivitendo elimu waliyoipata juu ya dini yao.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amewahimiza waislamu hao kuwafikishia wengine elimu hiyo, ili nao waweze kuitekeleza dini ya Mwenyezi Mungu kwa mujibu wa maamrisho yake na mafundisho ya Mtume Muhammad (SAW).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kwa upande wake, Amiri wa Jumuiya ya Fiysabilillahi Tabligh Markaz Mkoani Rukwa Sheikh Abdallah Abubakar amewashukuru wailamu pamoja na viongozi wa Mkoa huo, kwa mshikamano walioonyesha katika kufanikisha Ijtimai hiyo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mapema akisoma Risala ya Jumuiya hiyo Amir Ali amesema Jumuiya imepata mafanikio makubwa tangu kuasisiwa kwake na kupatiwa usajili mwaka 1992, ikiwa ni pamoja na kuwahamasisha waislamu katika kutekeleza maamrisho ya Munyezi Mungu na kuacha kabisa makatazo yake, iki kujijengea mustakbali mwema katika maisha ya akhera.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Viongozi mbali mbali wa dini na Serikali wameshiriki katika ufungaji wa Ijtimai hiyo akiwemo Waziri wa Habari, Utamaduni, Utalii na Michezo Mhe. Said Ali Mbarouk.</span></div>

Zanzibar ilishirikishwa kwenye rasimu ya katiba:CCM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mjumbe wa Kamati Kuu ya Halmashauri Kuu ya Taifa ya Chama cha Mapinduzi Balozi Seif Ali Iddi alisema kauli aliyoitoa katika kikao cha Bunge kilichopita alipotakiwa kuthibitisha ushirikishwaji wa Zanzibar katika mchakato juu ya marekebisho ya  sheria ya katiba mpya ya Jamuhuri ya mungano wa Tanzania ilikuwa sahihi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Balozi Seif alitoa Kauli hiyo wakati alipokuwa akizungumza na wajumbe wa Halmashauri Kuu za Chama  cha Mapinduzi za Mikoa ya Kusini na Kaskazini Pemba kwa nyakati tofauti wakati akiwa katika  ziara ya siku mbili Kisiwani humo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kufuatia  shutuma za upande wa kampi ya upinzani dhidi yake za kudai kwamba amekuruputa katika kutoa kauli hiyo Bungeni Balozi Seif akitoa ufafanuzi kwa mara ya kwanza kufuatia tukio hilo ili kuwatanabahisha wanachama wa CCM na wananchi kwa ujumla kuufahamu ukweli.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Balozi Seif alisema inashangaza kuona kambi ya upinzani  imeibua hoja ya kumtuhumu yeye katika mabadiliko yaliyofanywa na  Kamati ya Bunge ya Katiba na Sheria wakisahau kwamba  vipengele wanavyovilalamikia vilikuwemo ndani ya rasimu ya awali ya mswaada huo ambao ulichanw a wakati ulipopelekwa kwa wadau kujadiliwa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“ Acha waendelee kunitukana na kunikashifu mimi hata sitopungua. Lakini wanapaswa kuelewa kwamba  nilichokifanya Bungeni ni sahihi kabisa kwa vile kina uchahidi na kumbu kumbu zote zinazothibitisha ushiriki wa Zanzibar katika suala hilo muhimu “. Alifafanua Balozi Seif.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Balozi Seif ambae pia ni makamu wa Pili wa Rais wa Zanzibar alifahamisha kwamba  mamlaka ya kutunga mswaada wa sheria inakuwa kazi ya Serikali ambayo hushirikisha wataalamu na wadau wa sekta zote kazi ambayo inaishia wakati unapowasilishwa katika Kamati ya Bunge.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alifafanua kwamba  Sheria ya Bunge la Katiba ilifikishwa Zanzibar na kujadiliwa na kufanywa uchambuzi kupitia  wadau wa Sekta hiyo waliotoa nyongeza ya baadhi ya vipengele ambavyo vyote vilikubaliwa na Kamati iliyosimamia mswaada huo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“ Sheria ya mabadiliko ya katiba imehusisha mambo manne makubwa nayo ni kuundwa kwa Kamati ya kukusanya maoni, kutungwa kwa mabaraza ya Katiba ya Wilaya, Bunge la Katiba na Kura ya maoni mambo ambayo yaliyokubalika  na kuridhiwa  na pande zote mbili za Muungano. Sasa ugomvi uko wapi ?“. Aliuliza Balozi Seif.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Akizungumzia uimarishaji wa CCM Mjumbe huyo wa Kamati Kuu ya Halmshauri Kuu ya Taifa ya CCM Balozi Seif aliwakumbusha Viongozi na wanachama wa chama hicho kisiwa Pemba kuhakikisha kwamba wanajenga chama ndani ya kipindi hichi kinachoelekea kwenye uchaguzi mkuu wa mwaka 2015.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Balozi Seif alisema kazi ya Viongozi wa Chama hicho  katika Mikoa na Wilaya ni kuhakikisha kwamba program za ziara za mara kwa mara kuanzia shina, matawi na majimbo zinatekelezwa ipasavyo  ili kuamsha ari za wanachama hao.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alisema ziara hizo ni vyema zikaenda sambamba na uhamasishaji wa ulipaji wa ada za chama utakosaidia kuwepuka ule mwanya unaoutumiwa na baadhi ya Wanachama kutaka kuwalipia ada wanachama hasa katika kipindi cha uchaguzi kwa lengo la kushawishi kuungwa mkono.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alisisitiza kwamba mwanachama anapoamua kuilipia ada kadi yake anajijengea nguvu za uwezo wa kuwa huru unaompelekea kuepuka kuburuzwa na wanachama wengine wenye tamaa ya uongozi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“ Kazi iliyopo hivi sasa ni kwa kila mwanachama kujipanga vyema katika kutafuta wanachama ili kupata turufu na nguvu za kukipatia ushindi chama chetu wakati utapowadia wa uchaguzi mkuu “. Aliongeza Balozi Seif.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Akizungumzia kuhusu daftari la kudumu la wapiga kura Mjumbe huyo wa Kamati Kuu ya CCM aliwataka Viongozi wa Mikoa hiyo kujipanga katika kushajiisha Vijana kujiandikisha katika daftari hilo kwa vile muda wa kufanya hivyo bado upo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Balozi Seif alitahadharisha kwamba bila ya kujiandikisha hakutakua na  fursa ya kupiga kura jambo ambalo linaweza kuisababishia mazingira magumu CCM Katika uchaguzi mkuu huo ujao.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“ Bila ya kujiandikisha hakuna fursa ya kupiga kura na bila ya kupiga kura maana yake hakuna ushindi. Sasa siri ya yote hayo ni kwa wale vijana wapya kujitokeza kwa wingi katika kujiandikisha kwenye daftari hilo la kudumu la wapiga kura “. Alizidi kufafanua Balozi Seif.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Akiupongeza Uongozi wa CCM wa Mikoa yote miwili ya Kusini na Kaskazini Pemba kwa utekelezaji mzuri wa ilani ya CCM ya mwaka 2010 Balozi Seif  alisema Viongozi hao bado wanapaswa kuwaelimisha Vijana mfumo mzima wa kuendeleza maisha yao.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alieleza kwa vile mfumo wa ajira kwa vijana umo ndani ya ilani ya chama hicho Viongozi hao wajitahidi katika kuwaandalia mazingira vijana hao katika kuanzisha vikundi vya uzalishaji mali vitakavyosukuma mbele harakati zao za kiuchumi na kupunguza ukali wa maisha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Balozi Seif aliwataka Viongozi na wanachama hao kuamini kwamba Serikali zote mbili zitaendela kujitahidi katika kuona zinatoa msukumo wa uwezeshaji kwa vikundi vitakavyoanzishwa ili  viweze kujiendesha kiuchumi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Naye Mke wa Mjumbe huyo wa Kamati Kuu ya Halmashauri Kuu ya Taifa ya Chama Cha Mapinduzi  Mama Asha Suleiman Iddi aliwatahadharisha Viongozi na wanachama hao kuwepuka tabia ya kuendeleza makundi ndani ya chama hicho.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mama Asha alisema kwamba  tabia hiyo ikiachiwa kuendelea inaweza  kudhoofisha nguvu za chama na hatimae kuleta athari katika harakati zake za kujipanga kuelekea kwenye ushindi wa uchaguzi mwaka 2015.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Aliwakata kutembea kufua mbele kuyatangaza maendeleo yaliyofikiwa  katika utekelezaji wa ilani ya chama hicho kupitia ndani ya Serikali zote mbili ile ya Jamuhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania na Ile ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mapema akitoa Taarifa fupi ya utekelezaji wa kazi za chama ndani ya Mkoa wa Kusini Pemba Katibu msaidizi wa CCM  Mkoa huo Abdulla  Yussuf  Ali  alisema  yapo mafanikio makubwa ndani ya mkoa huo yanayofanywa na Serikali ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar ikiwa ni utekelezaji wa Ilani ya CCM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nd. Yussuf alisema maeneo mengi ndani ya mkoa huo hivi sasa yanaendelea kupata huduma muhimu za lazima kama  afya, maji safi, Kilimo pamoja na Mawasiliano  ya usafiri wa Bara bara.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alieleza kwamba shehia nyingi ndani ya mkoa wa kusini Pemba zimebahatika kuwemo ndani ya mradi mkubwa wa maji safi na salama ambao kumalizika kwake utasaidia kuondosha tatizo kubwa la usumbufu wa huduma ya maji iliyokuwa ikivikabili baadhi ya vijiji Mkoani humo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Akizungumzia Siasa Katibu Msaidizi huyo wa Chama cha Mapinduzi Mkoa wa Kusini Pemba Nd. Ali Yussuf alisema hali ya kisiasa hivi sasa imekuwa shuwari mkoani humo tokea kuanza kwa mfumo wa Serikali ya Umoja wa Kitaifa ulioshirikisha Vyama Vikuu viwili  vilivyokuwa vikipingana vya CCM na CUF.</span></div>

Africa grain experts to explore the continent’s potential as the next frontier in global grain supply at 5th African Grain Summit

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div class="yiv9305577622MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380571850158_6439" style="padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Over 250 top leaders from Africa including business executives from the private sector, including farmers, traders and millers, non-governmental organizations, development partners, financial institutions, researcher government representatives, regional bilateral institutions, and policymakers will convene from the 1st - 3rd October 2013 to discuss key issues affecting the African grain sector. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> This will be at the 5th  Africa Grain Trade Summit, hosted by the Eastern Africa Grain Council (EAGC)  at the Sarova-Whitesands Hotel, Mombasa, Kenya. The Summit’s theme is “Africa: The Emerging Frontier for Global Investments in Grain Trade.”</span></div>
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380571850158_6508" lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The summit is timely as global focus shifts to Africa’s potential to feed itself and feed the world. Africa with an estimated population of 1 billion people and an area of 30.2 million km² is home to seven of the world’s 10 fastest growing economies with a projected economic growth rate of 6%.  Additionally, the continent has a youthful population, a rich resource base, rising incomes and a steadily growing private sector: all these factors make for a healthy and attractive investment environment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At this year’s summit, delegates will focus on advocating for a predictable agricultural trade policy and price environment which facilitates public private partnerships and stimulate increased investments along the grain value chain. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Additionally, opportunities for innovation and technology adoption to address constraints and increase agricultural investments in Africa will be explored as will means of optimizing intra-Africa market access by dismantling barriers to trade. Delegates will also discuss how to scale up agribusiness financing for Africa’s grain trade through Structured Trading Systems.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“The summit will be setting the stage and opening doors through establishing essential linkages and new and increased investments in grain trade in Africa,” says the EAGC Executive Director, Mr. Gerald Masila.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“AGRA is happy to be associated with the Africa Grain Summit as it will help in charting the way forward on resolving the issue on postharvest grain losses which are currently at 40% in sub-Saharan Africa.  By stemming these losses we can help to increase farmers’ incomes,” says Mrs Anne Mbaabu, Director of AGRA’s Market Access Program.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">During the summit, the first ever Structured Trading Systems Handbook will be launched and is envisioned as being a game-changing tool in grain trade in Africa and beyond.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.eagc.org/">This year’s Summit</a> has received support from the Alliance for Green Revolution in Agriculture (AGRA), the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU (CTA).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The showcase event for the African power industry opens in Lagos this week (2 October) , bringing together headline organisations from Africa and around the world offering related products and services for a booming regional energy sector.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Taking place until 4 October at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Power Nigeria  will serve as a comprehensive platform for exhibitors to showcase their wares in the power generation, transmission and distribution, lighting and renewable energy, nuclear energy and water sectors. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Leading the way is the Oman-based manufacturer of power and distribution transformers, Voltamp Energy, which will present their latest range of power transformers extending up to 315 megawatts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“We’re expanding our product portfolio to further enhance our brand name in the local and African regional power sector,” said Aasit Naik, General Manager of Central Marketing at Voltamp Energy. The power transformers market is growing strongly and Power Nigeria will provide a platform to benefit from this growth while providing an opportunity to diversify our product portfolio.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Bulgarian company International Power Supply will launch their new modular hybrid power system, Exeron, designed to combine power effectively from different sources of energy including sun, wind, diesel generator and grid.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile the UK-based training specialists The Faraday Centre will promote their newly built training facility in Lagos, providing training in high and low voltage for the land, marine and offshore industries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">An interesting highlight of the three-day event in Nigeria’s largest city is the free to attend technical seminars featuring renowned experts from around the world discussing the latest developments in the energy sector. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Radwan Halabi of the UAE-based National Fire Fighting Manufacturing Co (NAFFCO) will conduct the first session in the morning of the three-day seminar about certified firefighting systems and equipment. He will be joined by Zahidul Islam from BRB Cable Industries who will deliver a presentation about electric cables and wires.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">IIIdar Ginayatullin from Mars Energo and Wale Raphael Yusuff from Clarke Energy will be among the final speakers at the seminar who will deliver presentations about test and calibration equipments and gas engines for captive power and independent power producers (IPP). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“The free-to-attend technical seminars will give visitors an opportunity to hear expert presentations about the energy sector, while the Power Nigeria exhibition is the best place to see the latest technology and intelligent energy solutions the industry has to offer,” said Anita Mathews, Director of Informa Energy Group, organisers of Power Nigeria.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Commenting on the Nigerian power sector, Mathews said: “The Nigerian power sector has been struggling to meet demand with a number of generation units in the power plants across the country operating much lower than their installed capacity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Investments have to be made in funding of all the regional power systems to develop the available resource potential for power generation to eventually cater to the country’s growing electricity demand. Power Nigeria provides the platform for stakeholders to take this forward.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

katiba bora nilazima iwahusishe wananchi

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Makamu wa Kwanza wa Rais wa Zanzibar Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad, amesema katiba bora ni ile inayotokana na mawazo ya wananchi, na sio inayotengenezwa na kikundi cha watu au chama cha siasa. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Maalim Seif ametoa kauli hiyo Mkoani Tanga, wakati akizungumza na Wazanzibari wanaoishi Tanga, ikiwa ni mfululizo wa ziara zake za kuzungumza na Wazanzibari wanaoishi nje ya Zanzibar. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Amesema ili katiba iweze kuwa ya wananchi, haina budi ipitishwe na zaidi ya theluthi mbili ya wananchi, vyenginevyo itafuata matashi ya vyama vya siasa au kikundi kinachojali maslahi yake binafsi. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Maalim Seif ametoa ufafanuzi huo baada ya kuwepo madai ya marekebisho ya sheria ya mabadiliko ya katiba yanayolenga kuidhinisha katiba kwa ushindi mdogo wa kura (simple majority).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Ametoa changamoto kuwa duniani kote hakuna katiba iliyopitishwa kwa ushindi mdogo wa kura, na kwamba haitokuwa busara kwa Tanzania kupitisha katiba kwa mfumo huo. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Mapema akizungumza katika mkutano huo, Mwakilishi wa Jimbo la Ole, Mhe. Hamad Massoud Hamad, ametoa wito kwa Wazanzibari wanaoishi Tanga ambao wametimiza masharti ya kujiandikisha, kwenda kujisajili katika daftari la kudumu la wapiga kura wakati utakapofika. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Sambamba na hilo amewatanabahisha Wazanzibari hao kufanya juhudi za kutafuta vijambulisho vya Uzanzibari Mkaazi kutokana na umuhimu waka katika maisha ya kila siku ya Wazanzibari. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Amesema iwapo Mzanzibari atakosa kitambulisho hicho, anaweza kupoteza fursa nyingi zikiwemo utambulisho wake kama Mzanzibari, masomo, hati ya kusafiria na biashara. </span></div>

Participants Reaffirm their Commitment to Africa at African Development Fund 13th Replenishment

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Participants in the African Development Fund have reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Africa’s continuing process of economic transformation, with a total replenishment amount of $7.3 billion for 2014 to 2016. Millions of Africans stand to benefit from improved energy supply, transport networks, water and sanitation, education and agricultural productivity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Representatives from 27 participating countries (four of which are African) on Thursday, September 26, concluded their discussions on the thirteenth replenishment of the African Development Fund (ADF-13). The ADF is the concessional window of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Group , which contributes to poverty reduction and economic and social development in low-income African countries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Participants agreed on a replenishment amount of $7.3 billion for the 2014 to 2016 cycle, of which $1 billion will be dedicated to a special facility for fragile states. The replenishment includes donor contributions of $5.8 billion, representing a slight increase over their contributions for ADF-12 (2011-2013). Several countries made significant efforts to ensure a robust replenishment despite a tough budgetary context.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Fund will help to improve the lives of millions of people across Africa. Under ADF-13, an estimated 20 million are expected to be connected to reliable and affordable energy; 19 million to gain improved access to transport; 7.5 million to have access to water and sanitation; 3 million will have opportunities for vocational and technical training; and 7 million to benefit from increased agricultural productivity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I warmly welcome these pledges, which have been made at a time of tough budget choices. They represent a powerful signal of support for Africa, and for the Bank’s vision for inclusive and sustainable growth. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They further strengthen our capacity to deliver on our ambitious agenda around infrastructure, economic integration, private-sector development, with greater emphasis on accelerating gender equality and addressing the challenges of fragility in Africa. Innovation will continue to be critical in maximizing the leverage potential of the concessional resources which were mobilized today,” said Donald Kaberuka, President of the African Development Bank.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Participants acknowledged the positive impact of the ADF on the lives of African people. Richard Manning, the ADF-13 coordinator, observed that: “The critical role of the AfDB Group in realizing Africa’s transformation and addressing vital issues of development, such as fragility, has never been more evident. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That is why – despite real constraints and budget cuts for most of the contributing countries – participants recognized the Bank Group’s relevance and efficiency, and expressed their strong support for and trust in the African Development Fund.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Participants welcomed the fact that African countries continued to increase their role, with Libya and Angola joining South Africa and Egypt as contributors to the Fund.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Recognizing the importance of the private sector in promoting growth in low-income African countries, participants endorsed two new credit-enhancing instruments – the Partial Credit Guarantee and the Private Sector Credit Enhancement Facility – which are designed to attract private capital for transformational development projects.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ADF beneficiary countries were represented by delegates from Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya and Malawi. Collectively, they underscored the need for the AfDB Group to “continue to support African countries’ efforts to reduce poverty, promote inclusive growth and improve lives of their citizens.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They acknowledged that “the African Development Bank Group is mobilizing the financing needed to reduce the infrastructure gap which costs Africa so much in terms of missed opportunities and GDP.” They also stressed that “the Bank Group spurs our ambition and growth, and stands by our side in both difficult and more favourable times.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Benoit Chervalier, Head of the Resource Mobilization and Allocation Unit at the African Development Bank, said: “We are hopeful that even more African countries will be able to contribute to the Fund, particularly as ADF beneficiary countries transition to become middle-income economies. The continent is taking ownership of its own development.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

African Development Bank and Made in Africa Foundation Launch Fundraising for Africa50 Infrastructure Fund

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<div class="yiv3106505147MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380269956551_3955" style="padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The African Development Bank</span><span style="font-size: large;"> and Made in Africa Foundation officially launched the fundraising for the Africa50 infrastructure fund on Thursday, September 26 at the NASDAQ Stock Exchange in New York City.</span></div>
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380269956551_4015" lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The African Development Bank (AfDB) and Made in Africa Foundation (MIAF) have partnered to co-market initiatives that will catalyze funding for Africa’s largest infrastructure delivery vehicle created to-date, Africa50.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With the critical objective of reducing the timing required to develop infrastructure projects in Africa, Africa50 is the result of experience and innovation. Over the past five years, AfDB has delivered over USD 5.4 billion in critical infrastructure investment in Africa through private sector and public-private partnership financing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For its part, MIAF was born when internationally renowned Ghanaian-born designer Ozwald Boateng and leading Nigerian entrepreneur Kola Aluko of Atlantic Energy realized that a few hundred million dollars of investment in project development could change the course of economic development for the whole of Africa. The alliance between MIAF and AfDB aims to raise up to USD 500 million for Africa50’s project development arm by the first half of 2014.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The historic alliance between MIAF and AfDB was formally launched at the NASDAQ Stock Exchange early Thursday. The effort was supported live by Boateng; Aluko; Sam Kutesa, Uganda’s current Minister of Foreign Affairs and the next president of the United Nations General Assembly; Tas Anvaripour, Team Leader for Africa50; and Anne Kabagambe, Chief of Staff and Director of Cabinet at the President’s office of the AfDB.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The NASDAQ event was followed by a luncheon hosted by Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., publisher of The New York Times, where the African Development Bank Group President, Donald Kaberuka, delivered a video message on Africa50.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Discussion on Africa’s newest infrastructure delivery vehicle involved participation by African business leaders, American investors, Patrick Zhong of the Fosun Group in China and former UK Foreign Minister and International Rescue CEO David Miliband.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Africa50 will comprise two funding arms: Project Development and Project Financing. At a recent meeting of African Central Banks in Mauritius, AfDB President Donald Kaberuka explained that “to increase the rate of infrastructure delivery in Africa we need to speed up project preparation and project development. The critical objective is to shorten the time between the idea and financial close from a current average of seven years to less than three years.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.afdb.org/">Tas Anvaripour</a>, Team Leader of Africa50, notes, “African infrastructure projects are increasingly capturing the attention of investors worldwide. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">However, the number of bankable infrastructure projects brought to market is still insufficient, even though they offer an excellent way to diversify investment portfolios and steady, long-term, and above average returns.” Having closed over 40 large infrastructure private sector projects in the past five years, AfDB strongly believes in the infrastructure opportunities latent in Africa.</span></div>

Wazanzibari watakiwa kujiandikisha kwenye daftari la wapiga kura

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wazanzibari wamehimizwa kuitumia vyema fursa ya kujiandikisha katika daftari la kudumu la wapiga kura, ili waweze kushiriki katika maamuzi yanayohusu nchi yao.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wito huo umetolewa na Makamu wa Kwanza wa Rais wa Zanzibar Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad, alipokuwa akizungumza na Wazanzibari wanaoishi Dar es Salaam katika mkutano uliofanyika hoteli ya Starlight jijini Dar es Salaam.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amesema wakati mchakato wa kulifanyia uhakiki daftari la kudumu la wapiga kura kwa kuandikisha wapiga kura wapya ukiendelea Zanzibar, bado kuna idadi ndogo ya wanaojitokeza kujiandikisha ikinganishwa na tathmini ya Tume ya Uchaguzi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amesema ili kuhakikisha kuwa wananchi wanashiriki katika maamuzi yanayohusu Zanzibar likiwemo suala la kura ya maoni kwa ajili ya kupitisha au kukataa katiba mpya, hawana budi kujiandikisha katika daftari la kudumu ili waweze kuitumia haki hiyo ya kupiga kura.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ametoa wito kwa wananchi wenye sifa kujiandikisha katika  daftari la kudumu la wapiga kura, ili waweze kuitumia haki yao hiyo ya kidemokrasia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Akizungumzia kuhusu mchakato wa kuandika katiba mpya ya Tanzania, Maalim Seif ambaye pia ni Katibu Mkuu wa CUF amesema bado hajaridhishwa na baadhi ya vipengele vilivyomo katika mswada wa sheria inayohusu marekebisho ya Katiba, ambapo Serikali pamoja na asasi za kiraia Zanzibar hazikushirikishwa katika marekebisho hayo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amesema katiba ni jambo kubwa linaloeleza mustakbali wa taifa kwa kipindi kirefu, hivyo kufikia pahala ikapitishwa kwa ushindi mdogo (just simple majority), halitokuwa jambo la busara kwa mustakbali wa Taifa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amefahamisha kuwa wakati mchakato huo wa katiba ukiendelea ni vyema kwa washirika wa Muungano kuwa na fursa sawa kama nchi, hasa katika ushiriki wa wajumbe kwenye Bunge la Katiba.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kwa upande wake Mwakilishi wa Jimbo la Ole (CUF), Hamad Massoud Hamad amesema takwimu za uandikishaji katika daftari hilo ambao umekamilika kwa upande wa Unguja zinaonesha kuwa idadi kubwa ya wananchi hawakujitokeza katika uandikishaji huo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amedai kuwa Tume ya Uchaguzi Zanzibar ilitarajia kuandikisha zaidi ya wapiga kura laki moja kwa Wilaya sita za Unguja, lakini hadi zoezi hilo linakamilika ni asilimia 23 ya wananchi waliojitokeza kuandikishwa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wakati zoezi hilo likikamilika kwa upande wa Unguja, linatarajiwa kuanza rasmi katika Wilaya nne za Pemba ambapo watu wapatao 52 elfu wanatarajiwa kusajiliwa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Zoezi hilo litakaloanzia Wilaya ya Micheweni tarehe 12/10/2013, litakuwa likifanyika siku tatu kwa kila shehia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amewasisitiza wananchi wenye sifa kutopuuza fursa hiyo, kwani kuwa na Kitambulisho cha Mzanzibari Mkaazi (ZAN ID) na kujiandikisha katika daftari la kudumu la wapiga kura, ni fursa za kipekee katika kushiriki masuala ya kitaifa na maendeleo kwa ujumla.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mapema akisoma risala ya Jumuiya ya Wazanzibari wanaoishi Tanzania Bara, Said Rashid Salum amesema watashirikiana na wazanzibari popote walipo katika kutetea haki na maslahi ya Zanzibar katika Nyanja zote za kimaendeleo.</span><span style="font-size: large;">Mkutano kama huo unatarajiwa kufanyika katika Mkoa wa Tanga, tarehe 27/09/2013.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.interpol.int/">An INTERPOL</a> Incident Response Team (IRT)  has been deployed at the request of Kenyan authorities to provide on-site assistance to the Westgate shopping centre terror attack investigation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Headed by INTERPOL’s Executive Director of Police Services Jean-Michel Louboutin the team includes Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) and data specialists who will carry out real-time comparisons against INTERPOL’s global databases on DNA and fingerprints and other evidence gathered from the crime scene.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The IRT, which arrived in Nairobi on Wednesday, will also ensure the swift dissemination of all forensic information, photographs of the suspected terrorists, details of arrested individuals and any other suspects linked to the deadly assault, to INTERPOL’s 190 member country network for comparison against national databases to identify any potential leads.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“INTERPOL’s role is to help coordinate the international response in support of the Kenyan authorities as they investigate this horrific incident, and to assist their actions at the regional and international levels,” said Mr Louboutin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Whether it be through comparison of information against INTERPOL’s global databases, or the issuance of a notice to identify a victim, locate a wanted person, or seek additional information about suspects, we will offer all necessary assistance to help bring those responsible to justice,” added Mr Louboutin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In addition to the IRT deployment, support is also being provided to Kenya’s national authorities via INTERPOL’s Regional Bureau in Nairobi and the 24-hour Command and Coordination Centre (CCC) at its General Secretariat headquarters in Lyon, France.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The CCC will also act as a central liaison to the INTERPOL National Central Bureaus of all the involved countries to ensure any ante mortem data on those killed during the attack, both victims and suspected perpetrators, is received as quickly as possible by Kenyan authorities.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">INTERPOL also stands ready to mobilize additional support from its global network of DVI and other experts, with officers from its Counter-terrorism and Criminal Analysis Units examining all INTERPOL databases to determine whether any links can be drawn between this terrorist act and other incidents around the world.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="font-size: large;">Serikali  zote Nchini zitaendelea kushirikiana na washirika wa maendeleo ndani na nje ya nchi kupitia mipango ya maendeleo ziliyojiwekea ya Dira ya Taifa ya Maendeleo 2025 na  Mpango wa kupunguza umaskini { Mkuza } katika kuimarisha Sekta ya Elimu, Afya na soko la ajira ili kuweza kukabiliana na kasi ya ongezeko la idadi ya watu hapa Nchini.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mwenyekiti Mwenza wa Kamati Kuu ya Taifa ya Sensa ya Watu na Makazi Tanzania Balozi Seif Ali Iddi alisema hayo wakati  akizindua chapisho la mgawanyo wa idadi ya watu kwa umri na jinsi kwenye sensa ya watu na makazi ya mwaka 2012 hafla iliyofanyika katika ukumbi wa mikutano wa Kimataifa wa Mwalimu Nyerere Mjini Dar es salaam.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Balozi Seif alisema Serikali italazimika kuziwekea mikakati changamoto za ongezeko kubwa la idadi ya watu Nchini ambazo takwimu imeonyesha wazi kwamba idadi kubwa ya watu nchini ni vijana wa umri mdogo ambapo watu milioni 19.7 sawa na asilimia 43.9 ya watu wote nchini ni watoto wenye umri chini ya miaka 15.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alieleza kwamba Takwimu hizi zimefungua macho na masikio kwa kuonyesha hali halisi ya idadi ya watu nchini. Hivyo ameziagiza Wizara, Idara na Taasisi zote za Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania na Serikali ya Mapinduzi Zanzibar  kuboresha Sera zilizopo na kutumia takwimu hizo katika kupanga mipango ya maendeleo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“ Viongozi wa Serikali zetu zote mbili wanapaswa kutumia na kusambaza matokeo haya katika ngazi zote za utawala kwa kutumia lugha nyepesi ambayo inaeleweka kwa watu wengi ili kuwawezesha wadau wote kupanga mipango sahihi ya maendeleo “. Alsisitiza Balozi Seif.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Akizungumzia kundi la vijana Mwenyekiti mwenza wa Kamati Kuu ya Taifa ya Sensa ya Watu na Makazi Balozi Seif alisema Idadi ya Vijana ambayo ni  milioni 15.6 sawa na asilimia 34.7 ya watu wote endapo itatumiwa vyema inaweza kuongeza uzalishaji na hatimaye kukuza uchumi wa nchi na kupunguza umaskini.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alifahamisha kwamba Uhamasishaji wa vijana kujiunga na vikundi vya uzalishaji mali ni mojawapo ya mikakati itakayowekwa katika  kuendeleza vijana na Serikali ina mpango wa kuanzisha benki ya vijana ambayo itakuwa ikitoa mikopo nafuu ili kuliwezesha kundi hilo kubwa kuweza kujiajiri wenyewe. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Balozi Seif alisema kwa kuzingatia rasilimali zilizopo, Serikali ina dhamira ya kuimarisha viwanda na Kilimo kama njia nyingine za kuwawezesha vijana kupata ajira na kuongeza kipato. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Aliwaasa Vijana kuacha ya tabia ya kungojea kazi za maofisini ambazo hivi sasa zimepungua na badala yake wajiunge na kushiriki katika shughuli za uzalishaji mali ili waweze kujipatia kipato kwa ajili ya kuendesha maisha yao.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kuhusu idadi ya wazee wenye umri wa zaidi ya miaka 60  wapatao milioni 2.5 sawa na asilimia 5.6 ya watu wote nchini Balozi Seif alieleza kwamba kundi hili linahitaji huduma maalum kama vile, matibabu, malazi na huduma nyingine muhimu. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alidha alifahamisha kuwa Serikali kwa kushirikiana na washirika na Taasisi nyengine itaendelea kuwapatia wazee hao huduma zote muhimu na zile za lazima kulingana na hali ya uchumi utakavyoruhusu.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr.Albino Chuwa alisema idadi ya watu waliokuwa wakiishi mijini mwaka 1966 ilikuwa chini ya asilinia 6.8% ikilinganishwa na zaidi ya asilimia 39% ya mwaka 2012 hii ni kuashiria kwamba watu wanaoishi mijini wamefikia asilimia 30% wakiwa wale walioko vijijini inabakia kuwa asilimia 70%.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alisema takwimu za idadi ya watu iliyopo hivi sasa nchini katika rasilmali watu sio tatizo lakini kinachohitajika zaidi hivi sasa ni kwa wananchi kufanya kazi kwa bidii ili kuongeza pato litakalolingana na idadi halisi ya watu waliopo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Albina Chuwa alifahamisha kwamba mipango ya maendeleo ambayo imo katika sera za Serikali zote mbili za Muungano wa Tanzania na ile ya Serikali ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar inahitajika katika kustawisha  maisha ya wananchi hasa vijana ambao ndio walio wengi na nguvu kazi ya Taifa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mapema Kamishna wa Sensa wa Tanzania Hajat Amina Mrisho Said kwa niaba ya mwenzake wa Zanzibar Mwalimu Haji Ameri aliwanasihi Watanzania kuzitumia vyema takwimu za sense bila ya kuchakachua ili lengo lililokusudiwa la kufanywa kwa sense hiyo lifikiwe vyema.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hajat Amina alisema Ofisi za Takwimu  bado zitaendelea na uchanbuzi katika madodoso yaliyokuwa yakiulizwa wakati wa zoezi zima la sense ya watu na makazi lililofanyika usiku wa kuamkia tarehe 26 Agosti mwaka 2012.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I especially look forward to discussing socio-political and economic aspects with participants from different countries – and hope to later use this inspiration to bring about positive change in my own country,” says Madjou who currently holds the role as Finance Controller with Maersk Line.<br /><br />Likewise, Junaid Kathrada, age 29, is seeing the conference as a great learning opportunity where he will be exposed to inspirational leaders from across the globe: <br /><br />“I hope to be able to draw on the experiences and insights of fellow delegates, ambassadors and guests as well as form networks that will enable me and the other participants to make a visible difference in our own societies,” says Kathrada who works with customer service in Durban for Safmarine.<br /><br />Attracting talents from the broadest pool possible<br /><br />The event is a valuable opportunity for Maersk to develop and inspire would-be leaders, especially in growth market countries where competition for the business, and for the talented people needed to drive it, is strong.

This entrepreneur may not be a household name in African business circles but in a very short space has created an influential media group in his home country Ghana, as well as putting in place best business practices with an emphasis on sustainability, human capital and the environment.<br /><br />Commenting on the Awards, Omar Ben Yedder stated: "the winners tonight again show the array of talent we have across the continent. The private sector is undoubtedly taking the lead in helping transform the continent, in terms of what it can do and in terms of creating opportunities and solutions out of problems. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are also seeing the private sector work better with government in what are being called transformational partnerships. We are not yet there in terms of creating global world beating brands but we are definitely on the right track, as demonstrated by the talents on show tonight”.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.african-business-awards.com/">The African Business </a>Awards are organised by African Business magazine and BusinessinAfrica Events and produced by IC Events.

<span style="font-size: large;">With this conversion, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will become the second anchor donor and make a financial contribution as part of President Obama’s Power Africa Initiative, while also opening the door for other donors interested in promoting private-sector led investments in small and medium sustainable energy projects. Additionally, the Board endorsed a new financing window to support related enabling environment activities. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">On the occasion of the Board’s approval, Mr. Kurt Lonsway, Acting Director of the AfDB’s Energy, Environment and Climate Change Department remarked, “This development proves that SEFA has established itself as a brand in Africa since its launch in 2012. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">SEFA has already approved USD 4 million in project development grants, co-sponsored an innovative private equity fund and facilitated various contacts between renewable energy entrepreneurs and project financiers in Africa. We are pleased that these early successes can now be scaled-up as the fund opens to new donors ultimately positioning SEFA as one of Africa’s leading facilities for realizing the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) Initiative.”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.afdb.org/">The Ambassador</a>, Brigitte Markussen, alternate AfDB Govemor and Africa Director at the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said they are pleased to have provided the early support for the establishment of the SEFA platform and shall continue supporting it as a leading facility for Africa. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">USAID Assistant Administrator for Africa, Mr. Earl Gast, further remarked that “SEFA will play an important role in removing the obstacles for the development of small and medium-sized sustainable energy projects in Africa, which are critical to the achievement of President Obama’s goal of doubling access to power in sub-Saharan Africa.” </span></div>
