Closing the Gap: The Diaspora role in Africa’s development
In the last year, the global development scene has changed significantly. The U.S., a vital partner for Africa, is scaling back its involvement. Aid funding is reduced, embassies shut or merge, and important trade initiatives lose focus. This gap presents the Diaspora Business Network with an opportunity, not a crisis, to step up.
Allow AGOA to Expire to allow Diaspora Involvement
The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), enacted in 2000, aimed to strengthen trade relations between the U.S. and sub-Saharan Africa by offering duty-free access for select products. Despite facilitating increased exports, AGOA faces criticism for excluding the African diaspora and dual citizen entrepreneurs, suggesting that its expiration might foster more inclusive trade policies.
Unlocking Opportunities: Increasing Diaspora Engagement in Louisiana
Louisiana, renowned for its rich history and vibrant culture, presents numerous opportunities for deeper connections with the Ugandan diaspora. Tukole aims to unite these communities by fostering cultural exchange, enhancing social networks, and promoting economic collaboration. Together, we can transform shared aspirations into meaningful partnerships that benefit both Uganda and Louisiana.
