The 20th World Economic Forum on Africa will held for the first time in East Africa. In addition, the Forum’s Young Global Leaders Summit will be held concurrently in Dar es Salaam, integrating over 200 of the world’s young leaders in the meeting. Discussions will address how African nations are managing relations with key economic partners, with an increasing trend towards greater South-South cooperation. As Africa joins India and China in crossing the billion person mark, its young population, natural resources and market potential are catalysts for significant future growth and development. Implications of the financial crisis will be discussed, as well as how African leaders are using it as an opportunity to redesign a sustainable roadmap for the continent’s future within the new global economy.

I am a Tanzanian and gave me a great sense of pride when WEF took place in Dar Es Salaam.It was really great that WEF chose Tanzanian as host country.I think this the first time in the history of East Africa and I will never forget about this memorable occasion.Actually I am looking for the contact details of Katherine Tweedle,Head and Director of WEF Africa.Honestly I was shocked to listen to her video on the internet when she was interviewed by one of the reporters before the inauguration.Please do the needful and assist me as requested above.Very Kind Regards.
