Major IMF-Tanzania Government Conference to Discuss Africa's Growth Challenge
March 10–11, 2009
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
President Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania and Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, are hosting a major international conference in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on March 10-11, 2009. The objective is to bring together African finance ministers and central bank Governors, luminaries such as former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, and senior representatives of partner countries, global and regional private sectors, prominent academics, and civil society.
The key objective of the conference is to showcase Africa's recent economic success. For the first time in decades, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have sustained high rates of economic growth and rising income levels. Despite global financial turmoil and food and fuel price shocks, growth has remained strong and opportunities for investment are being more actively explored. The Dar es Salaam conference will examine Africa's response to the changing challenges and will elaborate the evolving roles of partners-particularly the IMF. The common goal is to forge a renewed partnership for growth in Africa in the 21st century.
The conference will be open to the media.
