CLIMATE OUTLOOK FOR TANZANIA MARCH – MAY, 2012 RAINFALL SEASON

2012-03-05T23:09:00.000+03:00

This statement gives a review of the performance of the October to December (OND), 2011 short rainfall season , the ongoing seasonal rainfall over central, western, southwestern highlands, southern and Southern coast, and an outlook for the March to May (MAM),2012 long rainfall season (Masika).

A: SUMMARY

The performance of the October to December 2011 short rains (Vuli) faired well over most parts of the country. However, both temporal and spatial distribution was not good in some areas. Towards the end of the season in December some areas received heavy rainfall that caused catastrophic disasters mainly over some parts of Dar es Salaam, Mara, Manyara, Mbeya, Arusha, Kilimanjaro, and Mwanza regions. Few areas over the unimodal regions (i.e. Ruvuma, southern Morogoro, Mtwara and southern Lindi) experienced poor OND, 2011 seasonal rainfall performance.

The outlook for the March to May, 2012 rainfall season indicates that most parts of the bimodal areas are expected to receive normal to above normal rainfall except for Shinyanga region which is expected to receive mainly normal rainfall. The ongoing seasonal rains over the unimodal areas are expected to be mainly normal over most areas except for southern Iringa, Lindi, Ruvuma and Mtwara regions that are expected to feature normal to below normal rains. These rains are expected to recede towards the end of April, 2012. The principal contributing factors to the observed and predicted weather include enhanced westerly wind flow, anomalous cooling of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over the central and eastern Atlantic Ocean and slight warming over Southwestern Indian Ocean.

B: RAINFALL PERFORMANCE

The performance of the October to December (OND), 2011 short rains (Vuli) faired well over most parts of the country. However, both temporal and spatial distribution was not good as some parts of the country received much and heavy rains towards the end of the season. The recorded rainfall amounts in millimeters for some selected stations with their respective percentages of long term means in brackets are indicated below:

BIMODAL AREAS

Northern Coast and hinterlands: Tanga recorded 244.5 mm (280.8%), Pemba 389.2mm (189.5%), Mlingano 557.9mm (336.7%), Handeni 164.4mm (68.9%), Kizimbani 282.7mm (95.8%), Zanzibar 342.0mm (96.4%), Morogoro 83.8mm (110.1%) and JNIA 469.9mm (94.2%) of rainfall.

Northeastern highlands: Moshi recorded 102.4mm (122.8%), Lyamungu 179.2mm (189.2%), Same 66.0mm (65.5%) and KIA 105.5mm (329.7%) of rainfall

Lake Victoria Basin: Mwanza recorded 247.2mm (113.2%), Bukoba 347.8 mm (128.8%), Musoma 142.8mm (117.8%) and Shinyanga 276.5mm (125.1%) of rainfall

UNIMODAL AREAS

Western areas: Tabora recorded 91.7 mm (63.2%) and Kigoma 202.2mm (101.1%) of rainfall.

Central areas: Dodoma recorded 38.2mm (51.8%), Hombolo 60.2mm (154.4%) and Singida 50.6mm (34.7%) of rainfall.

Southwestern highlands: Iringa recorded 141.3mm (94.1%), Mbeya 92.0mm (36.9%), Tukuyu 312.6 mm (253.7%) and Igeri 163.0mm (250.8%) of rainfall.

Southern areas: Mtwara recorded 81.7mm (70.0%), Kilwa 118.5mm (166.2%) and Songea 81.4mm (169.6%) of rainfall

It should be noted that: Rainfall amounts below 75% of long term averages are categorized as below normal while those ranging from 75 to 125% are categorized as near normal and those greater than 125% of long term averages are categorized as above normal.

C: CLIMATE SYSTEMS OUTLOOK

This outlook is based on a review of the current and expected state of global climate systems and its likely impacts on the upcoming March to May (MAM), 2012 rainfall seasons in the country.

Currently, the Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) in the equatorial central Pacific Ocean have been anomalously cooler indicating persistence of weak La Niña conditions. However, slight warming leading to neutral Sea Surface Temperature condition is projected towards the end of MAM, 2012 rainfall season.

The observed and projected cooling over Central equatorial and Eastern Atlantic Ocean coupled with slight warming over the South-western Indian Ocean is expected to contribute and enhance westerly wind towards Tanzania leading to increased rainfall particularly over the western parts. Westerly wave associated with phases of enhanced tropical convection is expected to move across the country during the early period of the season (i.e. March) and thus influencing early rainfall onset.

The current weak temperature gradient between western and eastern parts of the Indian Ocean is projected to persist through March, 2012 leading to weak easterlies towards East African coast.

The northern subtropical systems are projected to be relatively weaker than the southern systems that suggest the possibility of fast retreat of the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) from south to north. Due to projected slight warming over South-western Indian Ocean and due to the likelihood of factors favoring the development of tropical storms, the number of tropical storms is projected to increase and this may have impact on the MAM seasonal rains.

D: SEASONAL RAINFALL OUTLOOK:

(i) Long Rainfall Season (Masika)

The long rainfall season in the northern sector (bimodal areas) of Tanzania is due to commence in the first week of March, 2012. The details are as follows:

Lake Victoria basin: Rains are expected to start in the first week of March in Kagera and Mara regions and gradually spreading over the rest of the basin during the second week. Most parts of Lake Victoria Basin (Kagera, Mwanza and Mara) are likely to experience Normal to Above Normal rainfall, while Shinyanga region is expected to receive normal rains.

Northern coast and hinterlands (Dar es Salaam, Tanga, Coast, northern Morogoro regions and isles of Unguja and Pemba): Rains are expected to start during the first week of March. However, some areas of this region had experienced pre-seasonal rains during the fourth week of February that was associated with tropical storm over the Indian Ocean. The seasonal rains over this region are likely to be normal to above normal.

Northeastern highlands (Kilimanjaro, Arusha and Manyara regions): The onset of rainfall is expected during the first week of March, 2012 and the rains are likely to be Normal to Above Normal

(ii) Seasonal Rains (the ongoing rainfall season)

Western areas (Kigoma, Tabora and Rukwa regions): The ongoing seasonal rains over these areas are expected to be Normal to Above Normal except over Tabora and eastern Rukwa regions where Normal rains are expected. These rains are expected to recede during the fourth week of April, 2012.

Central areas (Singida and Dodoma regions): The ongoing seasonal rains are expected to be Normal to Above Normal over much of Dodoma, while Singida region is expected to feature Normal rains. These rains are expected to recede during the second week of April 2012.

Southern coastal areas (Mtwara and Lindi regions): The ongoing seasonal rains in most of these areas are expected to be Normal to Below Normal rainfall. Cessation of rains is expected towards the end of the third week of April, 2012.

Southern areas (Ruvuma, Mtwara, and Lindi regions): The ongoing seasonal rains in these areas are expected to be Normal to Below Normal. Cessation of the rains is expected during the third week of April, 2012.

Southwestern highland areas (Mbeya, Iringa and southern Morogoro regions): The ongoing seasonal rains in most of these areas are expected to be Normal. However Southern Iringa and Morogoro are likely to feature Normal to Below Normal rainfall. These rains are expected to end during the third and fourth week of April, 2012.

It should be noted that heavy rainfall events are common even in below normal rainfall conditions and periods of longer dry spells may occur even in areas with above normal rainfall. It should also be noted that the March to May rainfall season is more significant for the northern sector of the country.

Tanzania Meteorological Agency will continue to monitor developments of weather systems including tropical cyclones over the southwestern Indian Ocean, which could influence the rainfall patterns in the country and issue updates as necessary.

E: IMPACTS AND ADVISORY

Agriculture and food Security

Sufficient soil moisture condition is likely over much of the country, except for a few areas of southern regions where earlier decline of soil moisture is anticipated during April 2012. The expected above normal rains in bimodal rainfall areas are likely to cause excessive soil moisture levels particularly over low ground areas, thus causing water log of crops.

Over northern coast, north eastern highlands, Lake Victoria basin and western (Kigoma), farmers are advised to go for normal Masika cropping season. Over western (Tabora and Rukwa), central, south-western highlands and southern region farmers are advised to continue with normal practice as crops get into maturity. Over unimodal areas crops like sweet potatoes, legumes, cassava and other short term and drought resistance crops may benefit from the remaining rains in the season. However, farmers are strongly advised to seek more advice from agricultural extension officers.

Energy and water

Water levels over the lakes, dams and rivers are expected to improve over areas where normal to above normal rains are expected. Otherwise, an area where normal to below normal rainfall is likely, no significant improvement on water levels is expected.

Pasture and Water for Livestock and wildlife

Pasture and water availability for livestock and wildlife over most parts of the country is likely to be good. Pastoralists and agro-pastoralists are advised to harvest and conserve pasture for use during dry periods. However, pastoralists and agro-pastoralists are strongly advised to seek more advice from livestock extension officers.

Local Authorities

Municipals over areas where above normal rains are expected are advised to open up and clear drainage systems to avoid water accumulation due to surface runoff so as to reduce the impacts of heavy rains that may results into floods.

Health sector

Areas which are expected to receive normal to above normal rains, there is a likelihood of water born diseases such as malaria epidemic and cholera outbreaks, thus necessary precautions should be taken.

Disaster Management

The disaster management authorities and other stakeholders are advised to take necessary measures that would ensure preparedness, response, and mitigation of any negative impacts resulting from expected weather conditions.

MWELEKEO WA MVUA ZA MACHI HADI MEI (MASIKA) 2012 NCHINI TANZANIA

2012-03-05T22:31:00.000+03:00

Taarifa hii inatoa tathimini ya msimu wa mvua za Vuli kwa miezi ya Oktoba hadi Disemba 2012, mvua zinazoendelea katika maeneo ya kanda ya kati, magharibi, nyanda za juu kusini magharibi na mikoa ya kusini pamoja na mwelekeo wa mifumo ya hali ya hewa na mvua za Masika katika kipindi cha miezi ya Machi hadi Mei, 2012.

A. UTANGULIZI

Tathimini ya mvua za Vuli katika kipindi cha miezi ya Oktoba hadi Disemba 2011 inaonyesha kuwa maeneo mengi ya nchi yalipata mvua za kutosha. Baadhi ya maeneo ya nchi yalipata mvua nyingi na kulikuwa na vipindi vya mvua kubwa kuelekea mwishoni mwa msimu ambazo zilisababisha maafa katika baadhi ya maeneo ya Dar es Salaam, Mara, Manyara, Mbeya, Arusha, Kilimanjaro na Mwanza. Hata hivyo, mtawanyiko wa mvua hizo haukuwa mzuri. Maeneo machache yanayopata msimu mmoja wa mvua (mikoa ya Ruvuma, Mtwara, Lindi pamoja na kusini mwa Morogoro) yalipata kiwango kidogo cha mvua.

Mwelekeo wa msimu wa mvua za Machi hadi Mei, 2012 unaonyesha maeneo mengi yanayopata misimu miwili ya mvua kwa mwaka yanatarajiwa kupata mvua za wastani hadi juu ya wastani, isipokuwa kwa mkoa wa Shinyanga ambao unatarajiwa kupata mvua za wastani. Mvua zinazoendelea kunyesha kwenye maeneo yanayopata msimu mmoja wa mvua kwa mwaka zinatarajiwa kuwa za wastani katika maeneo mengi isipokuwa katika maeneo ya kusini mwa Iringa, Ruvuma na Mtwara ambayo yanatarajiwa kupata mvua za wastani hadi chini ya wastani. Mvua hizi zinatarajiwa kuendelea mpaka mwishoni mwa mwezi wa Aprili 2012. Viashiria vilivyopo na vinavyotarajiwa kusababisha mvua hizi ni kuwepo kwa joto chini ya wastani katika maeneo ya tropikali ya bahari ya Atlantiki, sambamba na kuwepo kwa joto juu ya wastani katika maeneo ya kusini-magharibi mwa bahari ya Hindi. Hali hii inatarajiwa kusababisha upepo wenye unyevunyevu kutoka misitu ya Kongo kuvuma kuelekea nchini mwetu.

B: TATHMINI YA MVUA ZA VULI OKTOBA HADI DISEMBA 2011

Mvua katika kipindi cha miezi ya Oktoba hadi Disemba 2011, ziliendelea vizuri katika maeneo mengi ya nchi.. Hata hivyo mtawanyiko wake haukuwa wa kuridhisha ambapo baadhi ya maeneo yalipata mvua kubwa kuelekea mwishoni mwa masimu. Vifuatavyo ni viwango vya mvua pamoja na wastani wa muda mrefu katika baadhi ya vituo hivyo:

Maeneo yanayopata mvua mara mbili kwa mwaka:

Pwani ya Kaskazini: Tanga 244.5 mm (280.8%), Pemba 389.2mm (189.5%), Mlingano 557.9mm (336.7%), Handeni 164.4mm (68.9%), Kizimbani 282.7mm (95.8%), Zanzibar 342.0mm (96.4%), Morogoro 83.8mm (110.1%) na JNIA 469.9mm (94.2%).

Nyanda za juu Kaskazini Mashariki: Moshi 102.4mm (122.8%), Lyamungu 179.2mm (189.2%), Same 66.0mm (65.5%) na KIA 105.5mm (329.7%).

Kanda ya Ziwa Viktoria: Mwanza 247.2mm (113.2%), Bukoba 347.8 mm (128.8%), Musoma 142.8mm (117.8%) na Shinyanga 276.5mm (125.1%).

Maeneo yanayopata msimu mmoja wa mvua kwa mwaka:

Magharibi: Tabora 91.7 mm (63.2%) na Kigoma 202.2mm (101.1%).

Kanda ya Kati: Dodoma 38.2mm (51.8%), Hombolo 60.2mm (154.4%) na Singida 50.6mm (34.7%).

Nyanda za Juu Kusini Magharibi: Iringa 141.3mm (94.1%), Mbeya 92.0mm (36.9%), Tukuyu 312.6 mm (253.7%) na Igeri 163.0mm (250.8%).

Maeneo ya Kusini: Mtwara 81.7mm (70.0%), Kilwa 118.5mm (166.2%) na Songea 81.4mm (169.6%).

Viwango vya mvua chini ya asilimia 75 ya wastani kwa kipindi kirefu hutafsiriwa kama chini ya wastani, wakati viwango vya kati ya asilimia 75 hadi 125 hutafsiriwa kama mvua za wastani na vile vya zaidi ya asilimia 125 hutafsiriwa kama juu ya wastani.

C: MWELEKEO WA MIFUMO YA HALI YA HEWA

Mwelekeo huu umezingatia hali ya mifumo ya hali ya hewa iliyopo na inayotarajiwa na athari zake kwa msimu ujao wa mvua za Masika (Machi hadi Mei), 2012 hapa nchini.

Uchambuzi wa hali ya joto katika ukanda wa tropikali ya bahari ya Pasifiki kwa kipindi cha mwezi Februari 2012 unaonyesha hali ya joto lililo chini ya wastani ambalo linaashiria kuwepo kwa La Niña hafifu. Mwelekeo katika kipindi cha Mwezi Machi hadi Mei unaonyesha kuwepo kwa ongezeko kidogo la joto la bahari litakalopelekea kutoweka kwa La Niña na joto la Bahari linatarajiwa kuwa la wastani.

Joto chini ya wastani katika tropikali ya Bahari ya Atlantiki linatarajiwa kuendelea katika kipindi chote cha msimu likiambatana na ongezeko kidogo la joto kusini-magharibi mwa bahari ya Hindi na hivyo kupelekea kuwepo kwa upepo kutoka magharibi kuvuma kuelekea katika maeneo ya nchi yetu , hali ambayo inatarajiwa kusababisha ongezeko la mvua hususani magharibi mwa nchi.

Tofauti ndogo ya joto kati ya Magharibi na Mashariki mwa Bahari ya Hindi inatarajiwa kuwepo kwa kipindi chote cha Mwezi wa Machi, 2012. Hali hii inatarajiwa kusababisha kuvuma kwa upepo kutoka Baharí ya Hindi kuelekea pwani ya Afrika Mashariki.

Mifumo ya migandamizo ya hali ya hewa kwa maeneo yaliyopo kaskazini mwa Tropiki ya Kansa inatarajiwa kuwa hafifu ukilinganisha na maeneo yaliyopo Kusini mwa Tropiki ya Kapirikoni. Hali hii inatarajiwa kusababisha Ukanda wa Mvua kutoka kusini kuelekea kaskazini kupanda kwa haraka hivyo kupelekea mvua katika msimu wa masika kuisha mapema.

Kutokana na ongezeko dogo la joto linalotarajiwa katika ukanda wa kusini-magharibi mwa Bahari ya Hindi pamoja na viashiria vingine, matukio ya vimbunga kusini-magharibi mwa Bahari ya Hindi yanatarajiwa kuongezeka na hivyo kusababisha kuongezeka au kupungua kwa mvua katika baadhi ya maeneo nchini kulingana na nguvu ya vimbunga hivyo na maeneo vitakapotokea.

D: MWELEKEO WA MVUA MACHI –MEI 2012

(i) Mvua za Masika

Maeneo ya kaskazini mwa nchi yanayopata misimu miwili ya mvua kwa mwaka, mvua zinatarajiwa kuanza wiki ya kwanza ya mwezi Machi, 2012. Mvua hizo zinatarajiwa kuwa kama ifuatavyo:

Kanda ya Ziwa Viktoria: (Mikoa ya Kagera, Mara, Mwanza na Shinyanga): Mvua zinatarajiwa kuanza wiki ya kwanza ya mwezi Machi, 2012. katika mikoa ya Kagera, Mara na Kigoma-kaskazini, na kusambaa katika maeneo mengine (Mwanza na Shinyanga) wiki ya pili ya mwezi Machi. Mvua hizo zinatarajiwa kuwa za juu ya wastani katika mikoa hiyo, isipokuwa mkoa wa Shinyanga ambapo mvua zinatarajiwa kuwa za wastani .

Ukanda wa Pwani ya Kaskazini: (Mikoa ya Dar es Salaam, Tanga, Pwani, Morogoro-kaskazini pamoja na Visiwa vya Unguja na Pemba): Msimu wa mvua unatarajiwa kuanza wiki ya kwanza ya mwezi Machi, 2012. Mvua za msimu katika maeneo hayo zinatarajiwa kuwa za wastani hadi juu ya wastani.

Nyanda za juu Kaskazini Mashariki: (Mikoa ya Kilimanjaro, Arusha na Manyara):

Mvua zinatarajiwa kuanza wiki ya kwanza ya mwezi Machi, 2012. Mvua hizo zinatarajiwa kuwa za wastani hadi juu ya wastani.

Hata hivyo, baadhi ya maeneo yanayopata misimu miwili ya mvua yalipata mvua zisizo za msimu katika wiki ya nne ya mwezi Februari, 2012 zilizosababishwa na kuwepo kwa matukio ya vimbunga hafifu katika Bahari ya Hindi.

(ii) Mvua za Msimu

Kanda ya Magharibi (Mikoa ya Kigoma, Tabora na Rukwa ):

Mvua zinazoendelea katika maeneo haya zinatarajiwa kuwa za wastani hadi juu ya wastani isipokuwa maeneo ya mikoa ya Tabora na Rukwa-mashariki ambayo mvua zinatarajiwa kuwa za wastani. Mvua hizi zinatarajiwa kuisha wiki ya nne ya mwezi Aprili, 2012.

Maeneo ya kusini (mikoa ya Ruvuma, Mtwara na Lindi)

Mvua zinaendelea katika maeneo haya na zinatarajiwa kuwa za wastani hadi chini ya wastani, isipokuwa kaskazini mwa mkoa wa Lindi ambapo zinatarajiwa kuwa za wastani. Mvua hizi zinatarajiwa kuisha mwishoni mwa wiki ya tatu ya mwezi Aprili, 2012.

Kanda ya kati (Mikoa ya Singida na Dodoma):

Mvua za wastani hadi juu ya wastani zinatarajiwa katika maeneo haya, isipokuwa mkoa wa Singida ambao unatarajiwa kupata mvua za wastani. Msimu wa mvua unaendelea na unatarajiwa kuisha wiki ya pili ya mwezi Aprili, 2012.

Nyanda za juu Kusini Magharibi: (Mikoa ya Mbeya, Iringa na Morogoro-kusini):

Mvua zinaendelea katika maeneo haya na zinatarajiwa kuwa za wastani, isipokuwa maeneo ya kusini ya mkoa wa Iringa na Morogoro ambapo mvua za wastani hadi chini ya wastani zinatarajiwa. Msimu wa mvua unatarajiwa kuisha mwishoni mwa mwezi Aprili, 2012.

Mwelekeo wa mvua uliotolewa hapa umezingatia zaidi kipindi cha msimu(miezi mitatu) na hali ya mvua katika maeneo makubwa. Tofauti katika maeneo madogo madogo na mabadiliko ya muda mfupi yanarajiwa. Vipindi vifupi vya mvua Kubwa ni matukio ya kawaida hata katika maeneo yanayotarajiwa kuwa na upungufu wa mvua. Aidha vipindi virefu vya upungufu wa mvua vinaweza kutokea hata katika maeneo yanayotarajiwa kupata mvua za juu ya wastani.

Mamlaka ya hali ya hewa Tanzania Itaendelea kufuatilia Mwenendo wa mifumo ya hali ya hewa pamoja na vimbunga katika bahari ya Hindi na kutoa taarifa kuhusiana na mwelekeo wa mvua nchini.

3: USHAURI

Kilimo na Usalama wa Chakula

Maeneo mengi ya nchi yanatarajiwa kuwa na unyevu wa udongo wa kutosha isipokuwa maeneo machache ya kusini mwa nchi ambapo upungufu wa unyevunyevu wa udongo unatarajiwa katika mwezi Aprili, 2012. Maeneo yanayotarajiwa kupata mvua juu ya wastani, unyevunyevu wa udongo kupita kiasi unaweza kuathiri maendeleo ya mazao hususani katika mashamba yaliyopo mabondeni. Katika maeneo ya pwani ya kaskazini, nyanda za juu kaskazini-mashariki, ukanda wa ziwa Victoria pamoja na magharibi (Kigoma) wakulima wanashauriwa kuendelea na taratibu za kawaida za kilimo.

Maeneo ya magharibi (Tabora na Rukwa), maeneo ya kati, nyanda za juu kusini-magharibi pamoja na maeneo ya kusini mwa nchi wakulima wanashauriwa kuendelea na shughuli za kawaida za kilimo. wakati huu mazao yanapoelekea kukomaa. Aidha maeneo yanayopata msimu mmoja wa mvua kwa mwaka yanaweza kunufaika kwa kuotesha mazao kama vile mihogo, na mazao ya muda mfupi kama vile viazi vitamu na jamii ya mikunde. Mamlaka inawashauri wakulima waendelee kutafuta na kufuata ushauri wa Maafisa Ugani katika maeneo yao.

Maji na Nishati

Vina vya maji katika maziwa, mabwawa na mito vinatarajiwa kuongezeka katika maeneo yanayotarajiwa kupata mvua za wastani hadi juu ya wastani. Maeneo mengine yaliyosalia, hayatarajiwi kuwa na ongezeko kubwa la vina vya maji.

Malisho ya mifugo

Hali ya malisho inatarajiwa kuwa nzuri katika maeneo mengi nchini. Wafugaji wanashauriwa kuvuna na kuhifadhi malisho kwa matumizi wakati wa kiangazi. Hata hivyo wafugaji wanashauriwa kuzingatia ushauri kutoka kwa maafisa mifugo katika maeneo yao.

Mamlaka za Miji

Mamlaka za miji katika maeneo yanayotarajiwa kupata mvua za wastani hadi juu ya wstani, zinashauriwa kusafisha mifumo ya maji taka ili kuepusha maji kutuama na kupunguza madhara yatokanayo na mafuriko.

Sekta ya Afya

Maeneo yanayotarajiwa kuwa na mvua za wastani hadi juu ya wastani, kuna uwezekano wa kutokea milipuko ya magonjwa ya malaria na kipindupindu. Mamlaka husika zinashauriwa kuchukua tahadhari na maandalizi stahiki ili kupunguza madhara yanayoweza kujitokeza.

Menejimenti ya Maafa

Taasisi za maafa na wadau husika, wanashauriwa kuchukua hatua muafaka za maandalizi ya kukabiliana na majanga ya hali ya hewa yanayoweza kutokea.

Kampuni ya Simon Group yanunua mabasi 30 ya UDA

2012-02-27T14:38:00.000+03:00

Meneja Biashara wa Kampuni ya TATA, Srinivas Nemalapuri akionesha baadhi ya mabasi ya UDA yaliyonunuliwa na Kampuni ya Simon G.

Na Oscar Mbuza

HATIMAYE Kampuni ya Simon Group imeanza mikakati ya kulifufua Shirika la Usafiri Dar es Salaam (UDA) baada ya kununua mabasi 30 yenye uwezo wa kubeba abiria 40 kwa lengo la kuboresha sekta ya usafirishaji jijini Dar es Salaam .

Hii itakuwa mara ya kwanza kwa UDA kununua magari mengi kwa wakati mmoja tangu kuanzishwa kwa shirika hilo zaidi ya miaka 38 iliyopita.

Mwenyekiti Mtendaji wa Simon Group, Robert Kisena aliwaambia waandishi wa habari Dar es Salaam jana kwamba kampuni yake imejizatiti katika kuifufua UDA kama ilivyoahidi wakati iliponunua hisa za kuliendesha shirika hilo.

“Tayari yamewasili nchini ili kusaidia kuboresha hali ya usafiri katika Jiji la Dar es Salaam. Kwa sasa mabasi hayo yamehifadhiwa kwa ajili kupigwa nembo ya UDA.”

Hatua hiyo ya Kampuni ya Simon Group kuagiza mabasi mengi kwa wakati mmoja ina badili taswira na mitazamo iliyokuwepo kwamba kampuni hiyo ya Tanzania haina uwezo wa kuweza kuhimili kikamilifu changamoto zilizopo kwenye sekta ya usafirishaji.

Baadhi ya Wabunge wa Jiji la Dar es Salaam walipokuwa wakichangia bungeni mwishoni mwa mwaka jana walieleza wasiwasi kwa kampuni hiyo kuweza kuliendesha Shirika la UDA kwa ufanisi kwa madai kwamba haina uzoefu wa masuala ya usafirishaji.

“Kimsingi ni kwamba kampuni yetu imejizatiti katika kuleta mageuzi makubwa sana katika sekta ya usafirishaji abiria hapa nchini, tunayo mipango mikubwa ni suala la kupewa muda wa kutosha na tutaweza kuthibitisha na kuondoa wasiwasi kwa abiria pamoja na watanzania wenzetu,” alisema Kisena

Kisena alisema katika kipindi cha miezi sita iliyopita Kampuni ya Simon Group imeweza kuingiza kati ya Sh. bilioni 2.7 na Sh. bilioni 3 katika uwekezaji ndani ya UDA.

Alisema kiasi hicho cha fedha ni zile za kulipa mishahara ya watumishi wa UDA, kununua vipuli vya magari pamoja na kununua magari mapya ikiwa ni fedha kutoka kwenye vyanzo vingine vya mapato kutokana na akaunti za UDA kusitishwa ili kuweka sawa baadhi ya kasoro zilizojitokeza wakati shirika hilo lilipokuwa chini ya usimamizi wa Bodi ya Wakurugenzi ya zamani, chini ya uenyekiti wa Idd Simba.

Kisena alisema anashindwa kuendelea na harakati nyingine za kuwekeza zaidi katika UDA hasa kutokana na ukiritimba katika kutatua tatizo lililopo. Lakini mwekezaji anasema kwamba ameambiwa kwamba katika kipindi cha mwezi mmoja ujao Serikali itakuwa imekamilisha masuala yake.

“Kazi iliyobaki kwa Serikali ni namna ya kujiondoa ili sasa Simon Group iweze kuwa na udhibiti wa kampuni pamoja na uendeshaji wake…ninaamini kazi hiyo itakamilika katika kipindi hicho cha mwezi mmoja ambacho kinakadiriwa,” alisema Kisena

Anasema kama kampuni hiyo itakabidhiwa Shirika la UDA analenga kutoa ajira kwa Watanzania wengi zaidi kutokana na wingi wa mabasi makubwa ya kubeba abiria jijini Dar es Salaam. “Tunataraji kutoa ajira nyingi zaidi kwa Watanzania, maana tunao mpango wa kuingiza nchini mabasi zaidi ya 1,000,” alisema Kisena

Aidha taratibu za ukaguzi wa mahesabu ya UDA zimeshakamilika na pengine Serikali inasuburi dokezo hilo ili taratibu nyingine za kumkabidhi mwekezaji mpya Simon Group ziweze kufuata.

Mapema mwezi huu Mdhibiti na Mkaguzi Mkuu wa Hesabu za Serikali(CAG), Ludovick Utouh alisema kuwa ripoti hiyo imewasilishwa Makao Makuu ya Kampuni ya KPMG nchini Afrika Kusini kwa ajili ya kuihakiki na kuangalia ubora wa ukaguzi wenyewe ndipo waikabidhi kwake aweze kuipitia.

Utouh alisema anatarajia kuipata ripoti hiyo wakati wowote ili aweze kuipitia na kuiwasilisha serikalini kwa ajili ya hatua zaidi. Alisema kwamba ripoti hiyo ilitakiwa kuwasilishwa Januari mwishoni, lakini kinachofanyika sasa ni kuhakiki zaidi ili iwe kwenye kiwango kinachokubalika.

Utouh alisema kuwa KPMG ni miongoni mwa kampuni zinazoanya vizuri kwenye kazi hiyo na kwamba, hakuna mashaka yatakayoweza kujitokeza juu ya utendaji wa kazi zao, bali kinachotakiwa kufanyika ni kusubiri wakati wa kuiwasilisha serikalini.

Kabla ya ubinafsishaji huo, UDA ilikuwa inamilikiwa kwa pamoja kati ya Halmashauri ya Jiji la Dar es Salaam na Serikali Kuu, kupitia Hazina, wakiwa na jumla ya hisa 15 milioni ambapo kila hisa moja ilikuwa na thamani ya Sh100.

Kwa mchanganuo, Halmashauri ya Jiji ilikuwa inamiliki asilimia 51 ya hisa hizo, huku Hazina ikimiliki asilimia 49. Februari 11, Bodi ya Wakurugenzi ya UDA, chini ya Idd Simba, ilikutana na uongozi wa Simon Group ikiongozwa na Mwenyekiti Mtendaji Kisena na kusaini mkataba, ambao ulithibitisha kwamba UDA ilikuwa imeiuzia Simon hisa milioni 7.8 sawa na asilimia 52.535 ya hisa zote.

Mkataba huo ungeifanya Simon Group kuwa mwanahisa mkubwa katika umiliki wa UDA kwa vile Halmashauri ya Jiji la Dar es Salaam na Hazina, wangebaki na hisa milioni 7.7, ambazo ni sawa na asilimia 47.465.

Baada ya mkataba kusainiwa, kipengele cha kwanza kiliitaka Simon Group kulipa asilimia 25 ya fedha za ununuzi wa hisa za UDA (Sh bilioni 1.142) ambazo ni sawa na Sh milioni 285.669, ndani ya siku 14, tangu kusainiwa ili kuufanya mkataba utambulike kisheria, na Simon Group ililipa fedha hizo siku hiyo hiyo.

Dear Friends

I hope it is not too late to say Happy New Year 2012!

Although we haven’t communicated for 2 or 3 months, but there has been a lot of issues going on the background:

1. Hans Baker the CEO of Danimex has authorized expenditure for use in Developing EAPBN. All receipts will be required for such expenditures.

2. Rakesh Kukreja the MD of Wananchi Group, Business Services Unit has placed an order on our behalf worth $ 4200 for Website Design and Development of our Network. The Website Development will start next week.

3. I requested few friends in the Region to assist us to make a draft constitution. Since then December 2011, we have been drafting and fine tuning the Constitution. We believe more polishing and inputs I required. Many thanks to Fredrick Mango and Antony Mugendi.

Having said that, I now welcome ideas and comments on discussing our Constitution.

Kind Regards,

Sanctus A. Mtsimbe

EYNOTE ADDRESS: ROLE OF MULTILATERAL AND BILATERAL TRADE AGREEMENTS IN FOSTERING TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA By: H.E Benjamin William Mkapa at the EALA

2012-02-17T20:48:00.000+03:00

By:

H.E Benjamin William Mkapa at the EALA,

13^th February 2012,

Arusha

I wish at the outset to thank the organizers of this workshop for inviting the South Center to make its presentation. I am here as the Center’s Chairman of the Board. I have no political or governmental authority. And I hasten to affirm that I have no statutory prescriptions to give.

Some of you may know something about the Center. But in order to put my intervention in context, it is necessary that I outline the origins and mandate of the South Center. The Center originated from the South Commission, founded in 1987 under the Chairmanship of Tanzania’s founding President Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, and comprising such eminent personalities as Mathir Mohammed, Manmohan Singh, Enrique Iglesias, Michael Norman Manley, Shjridath Raphal, Carlos Andrez Parez, Abdus Salam and a dozen other personalities from the South.

They were moved by the fact that “most of the people of the North are affluent, most of the people of the South are poor; while the economies of the North are generally strong and resilient, those of the South are mostly weak and defenseless; while the countries in the North are, by and large, in control of their destinies, those of the South are very vulnerable to external factors and lacking in functional sovereignty.”

Given this situation, they spelled out in their Report the challenges which the South would have to solve, and made recommendations and proposals together with strategies appropriate for and conducive to development in the countries of the South. For the purpose of your discussions it may be useful to remind ourselves what their Report identified as the dominant challenges. They stated:

The challenge to the South is to reaffirm, in words and action, that the purpose of development is the promotion of the well-being of its people, with economic growth directed at satisfying their needs and fulfilling their purposes.

The challenge to the South is to strengthen democratic institutions so that its people may live in freedom and chart their own path to development in harmony with their culture and values.

The challenge to the South is to use its own resources more effectively to accelerate its development, giving priority to meeting the basic needs of its people and freeing them from poverty, disease, ignorance, and fear.

The challenge to the South is to enable its people to realize the full potential of their talents and creativity, and to develop self-confidence, and to mobilize their contribution to the well-being and progress of their societies.

The challenge to the South is to enlarge its capacity to benefit from advances in science and technology in securing a better life for its people.

The challenge to the South is to pursue its development with due concern for the protection of the natural environment so that it may sustain the present and future generations.

The challenge to the South is to organize itself effectively and to seek strength through wide-ranging joint undertakings of South-South co-operation which benefit from complementary resources and increase collective self-reliance.

The challenge to the South is to use its unity and solidarity in efforts to make the world a more just and more secure home for all its people, through a restructuring of global relationships that responds to the growing intimations of the interdependence of the world’s nations and people: members of one human family living in one world.

These challenges are formidable. But they must be met.

To ensure that their Report does gather dust and mildew in libraries and offices, the deemed it wise to establish a South Center which would follow up the work of the Commission. It is an intergovernmental organization which acts as think tank of the South to monitor and give advice when sought on these challenges, strategies and actual negotiations for a changing, globalizing and new economic and trading system. Therein lies our interest in the EPA and WTO negotiations.

I will now turn to the topic of multilateral and bilateral trade agreements with EAC countries as my focal point

Any bilateral or multilateral trade agreement must be of service to the development of the East African Community. These agreements cannot be seen as ends in themselves, but instruments for development. It is in this context that each set of negotiations must be closely examined.

However, first and foremost, we need to examine what exactly is the pathway to development for East Africa?

We live now in a fast changing world. The paradigm of globalization and free trade is being questioned. It is now being asked if ‘state capitalism’ might be the next model of the day – capitalism with the strong hand of the state. As this debate continues, the reality is that our major trading partners – the US and EU for example – have markets that are stagnant or they may even be shrinking. On the other hand, our African market is growing. We also have the growing markets of the emerging developing economies.

Trade agreements facilitate exports. Whilst exports can be a very important instrument for our overall development strategy, it is but one pillar, and not even the main pillar. The main pillar, if we are serious about development must be to increase domestic production capacities, diversification, industrialization and increasing agricultural production. There is no other alternative in order to achieve broad-based development, and most importantly, employment and food security. We cannot continue to export a narrow range of products and import a broad range of finished goods on our way to development. The hard work of industrialization and food production must be done.

The question we must therefore ask of trade agreements is this: Do they help us increase domestic production capacities? Encourage diversification and industrialization? Increase food security? Provide quality employment? Will these trade agreements support our move from being largely raw natural resource exporters, towards being producers of more sophisticated products? The answers to these questions will point the direction for what we do with trade agreements, in particular, the EAC EPA.

Change in Market Access Regulation 1528/2007

In September 2011, the European Commission has proposed to remove 16 African countries from the EU Market Access Regulation 1528/2007. At the end of 2007, this regulation allowed those African countries which had initialed or signed an EPA to enjoy duty-free access to the EU market, as they continued to move towards signatory and ratification. This regulation gave the necessary cover for our countries as we continue to negotiate the difficult issues with the EU – for example – the range of contentious issues (export taxes; level of liberalization; development assistance; MFN clause etc).

Even as these negotiations have not been concluded by both sides, the EU is now saying that if Ghana, Kenya Namibia (which have initialed but not signed) and Botswana, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Swaziland and Zimbabwe (which have signed but not yet ratified) have not ratified the EPAs by 1 January 2014, they will be dropped from the list of countries receiving EPA treatment.

EAC Options

We are therefore confronting, if you like, ‘the moment of truth’. There are several options:

1) Kenya signs the EPA alone, so that it can retain its preferences in flowers and fish. This would destroy the EAC customs union. The LDCs would not be able to open up their markets to Kenya if they do not want EU goods to flood their internal markets.

2) The entire EAC region signs the EPA – LDCs in the WTO which do not have to take tariff cuts in WTO trade liberalization rounds will have to cut their tariffs to zero for at least 80% of trade with the EU. This will have deep ramifications on the ability of the region to industrialize. Given that the EU remains a major food exporter and still subsidizes its agricultural sector to the tune of 60 billion Euros a year, (despite excluding some agricultural tariff lines from liberalization) this could shrink the size of the local markets that our small farmers sell on.

3) Or should the entire region not sign the EPA? Kenya would lose its preferences on flowers. But how important is this sector, in comparison to opening up the EAC market to EU and the real threat of not being able to industrialize in the future? Are there alternatives that could be considered (So that such a ‘crisis’ situation could be used instead as a turning point? As the Chinese observe: Every crisis presents also opportunity.

What is Contentious about the ‘Contentious Issues’

Those of you negotiating this know the details of these contentious issues better than I. What I do know is that issues include

· The extent of liberalization the EU is asking for,

· Export taxes – which I will talk more about in a while,

· MFN clause,

· Agricultural subsidies, and the

· The Singapore issues,

· Among the most contentious.

From what I hear, despite pronouncements of flexibility by the EU, they have not been very ‘flexible’ and our concerns remain. The AUC and all the Regional Economic Communities (RECs), including the EAC Secretariat, came up with a Common Position paper at the end of 2010. The risks for Africa include:

· Effect on industrial development

· Effect on food security and rural livelihoods

· Effect on regional trade and integration

· Effect on Tariff revenue

· Effect on governments’ support of local enterprises and industries (if services, investment and other Singapore issues are incorporated eventually into the EPA).

I will not go into the details on these problems. I have done so on other occasions. However, I would like us to take a look at the interest of our trading partner, the EU. What is the EU’s interest in the EPA? The Tshi people of Ghana have a saying: If there had been no poverty in Europe, the white man would not have come and spread his clothes in Africa.

Is this EPA being negotiated because they deeply care about African and EAC regional integration and development? Or are they being primarily driven by their own economic interests?

EU’s Raw Materials Initiative

The EU launched its raw materials initiative in 2008. According to the Communication from the Commission and other European bodies in Feb 2011, ‘One of (the initiative’s) main pillars is to ensure a level playing field in access to resources in third countries.’ The EC even says that an element of this overall raw materials strategy is ‘the need for a ‘raw materials diplomacy’ anchored in wider policies towards third countries such as promoting human rights, good governance...’ etc.

The Commission identifies 14 critical raw materials. These are elements which ‘display a particularly high risk of supply shortage in the next 10 years and which are particularly important for the value chain. The supply risk is linked to the concentration of production in a handful of countries’.

In terms of being the top three sources of imports into EU (2007, or 2006), East Africa shows up twice on this list of 14 – Cobalt for Tanzania, where as the 3^rd largest source for the EU, it makes up 5% of EU imports (DRC is the no. 1 source). Rwanda is also listed as the 3^rd largest producer of Tantalum.

For Europe, ‘access to and affordability of mineral raw materials are crucial for the sound functioning of the EU's economy. Sectors such as construction, chemicals, automotive, aerospace, machinery and equipment sectors which provide a total value added of € 1 324 billion and employment for some 30 million people all depend on access to raw materials’.

Also according to the Commission’s communication in 2008, ‘The EU is highly dependent on imports of “high-tech” metals such as cobalt, platinum, rare earths, and titanium. Though often needed only in tiny quantities, these metals are increasingly essential to the development of technologically sophisticated products’.

A look at the raw materials documents also reveals that the EU is threatened by the appetite of the emerging economies in absorbing raw materials and these countries closer links to Africa. There is fear that Europe will somehow be marginalised. The Commission 2011 document notes that

‘The years 2002 to 2008 were marked by a major shift in demand for raw materials, driven by strong global economic growth, particularly in emerging countries such as China. This increase in demand will be reinforced by the further rapid industrialisation and urbanisation in countries such as China, India, and Brazil’.

The Commission has also noted in 2008 that

‘Emerging countries are also pursuing strategies towards resource-rich countries with the apparent aim of securing privileged access to raw materials. For example, China and India have substantially increased their economic engagement with Africa in recent years; in the case of China this includes major infrastructure projects and active involvement in exploration and extraction activities in countries such as Zambia (copper), Democratic Republic of Congo (copper, cobalt), South Africa (iron ore), Zimbabwe (platinum) and Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon (timber).

With these concerns, the EU says that ‘Access to primary and secondary raw materials should become a priority in EU trade and regulatory policy. Trade and regulatory policy can improve access to raw materials in the following ways.

– The EU should promote new rules and agreements on sustainable access to raw materials where necessary, and ensure compliance with international commitments at multilateral and at bilateral level, including In this WTO accession negotiations, Free Trade Agreements, regulatory dialogue and non-preferential agreements. In this context the Commission will reinforce its work towards achieving stronger disciplines on export restrictions and improved regulation against subsidies at WTO level.

–The EU will take vigorous action to challenge measures which violate WTO or bilateral rules, using all mechanisms and instruments available, including enforcement through the use of dispute settlement. More generally, the EU will act against the protectionist use of export restrictions by third countries. In determining its actions, the EU will take as priority those export restrictions that pose the greatest problems for EU user industries or give their domestic downstream industries an unfair competitive advantage on international markets’

From the above, we can clearly see the EU’s interests – in East Africa, and also more broadly in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is no wonder that despite the issue of export taxes being extremely controversial in all the EPA negotiations, the EU has not changed its position that no new such negotiations should be introduced or existing ones increased. There may be narrow exceptions, but our policy space will be curbed.

As you all know, export taxes are very important for encouraging our industries to diversify.

Access to raw materials is also closely linked to the Services agenda. The EU continues to be interested in prying open our services markets. In the Cariforum EPA, Caribbean countries were asked for 65-75% liberalization in their services sectors and subsectors. These investment liberalization commitments allow EU companies to get easier and sustained access to these raw materials.

Costs and Benefits

Some work by the South Centre shows that for many of our countries, the tariff revenue losses are significant, and could even be larger than the margin of preferences foregone if we do not sign the EPA.

Tariff revenue losses per year, based on recent trade figures, would be to the tune of EUR 138.4 million. In contrast import duties on all Kenyan exports under GSP amount to EUR 43.8 million,according to the Commission proposal to remove countries from the Market Access Regulation 1528/2007. This would even be lower if Kenya, just as Cape Verde, would apply for GSP+. (In that case, only a few products would be charged duties, mainly pineapple juice).

That is, for Kenya, only just the tariff revenue losses are larger than the additional duties that Kenyan products would face if they lose their preferences (eg. flowers; and fish). The calculations are indicative, but this is well-worth sitting up and taking note of. As we say in Swahili: Careful is a good way to go.

EPA and WTO Compatibility

Mostly, when this issue is brought up, we think of how much liberalization we need to have within the EPA to make it WTO compatible. Worse still, we define the WTO’s Article XXIV on ‘Substantially all trade’ to mean what the EU says – at least 80% of tariff lines or trade should be brought to zero.

What about defining WTO compatibility from an EAC viewpoint? What would this mean? From our perspective, this would mean embedding the WTO flexibilities EAC countries enjoy within the EPA. This will mean several things:

There should be no Singapore issues – they are not in the WTO.

There should be no services commitments by Africa or EAC beyond what they do at WTO – services liberalization is completely voluntary in the WTO. Countries liberalise as much or little as they wish, at their own timing.

There must not be any TRIPS plus commitments

On goods what is not required in WTO (i.e. export taxes,
MFN clause, standstill clause etc) should not be required in the EPA.

Furthermore, on goods, LDCs and Kenya and other African countries in the EPA negotiations should not do more than what Doha requires. In the Doha negotiations, LDCs need not liberalise, and Kenya has many flexibilities.

Alternatives for the EAC

Making the EPA compatible to WTO from our perspective may or may not be well received by the EU. If it is not well received, nevertheless, we need to firmly stand our ground and approach the negotiations from having complete clarity about what is in our interests.

If we decide to drop options 1 (Kenya signing the EPA alone) and option 2 (EAC collectively signs the EPA), do we have alternatives?

Since about 2000, the intra-African market has surpassed the EU market as the biggest export market for EAC countries. EAC’s total exports to the EU amounted to USD 2.5 billion 2008, whilst exports to Africa came to about USD 3.2 billion.

When one looks at EAC’s manufactured exports, the importance of the intra-African market becomes even more apparent. In value terms, manufactured exports amount to USD 164 million to the EU compared to USD 1.8 billion to the rest of Africa (UNCTADstats for 2009 trade). It is therefore clear that for our EAC countries to diversify and industrialise, this internal EAC and African market provides the best opportunity. In contrast, the bulk of our exports to the EU are primary commodities with nil or low levels of processing eg. minerals, horticulture, fish etc.

Comparing EAC Exports of Different Categories of Products to EU and to Africa

Study by the Center shows that the EAC already has a ‘hubs and spokes’ trade relation to the EU. Only 6% of our total exports to the EU are in the form of manufactured processed goods whilst 94% of exports are primary products.

What these statistics show is that this is not in fact a second best option, but the best option for EAC countries. If we sign the EPA (and other sub-regions do so too), we would be giving up the better option we have before us – which allows for real industrialization - rather than this continuation of primary product exports.

AUC Trade Ministers’ Trade Preferences Proposal

At the Trade Ministers’ meeting in Accra, December 2011, ministers adopted an AUC trade preferences proposal ‘Proposal for a Common and Enhanced Trade Preference System for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Low Income Countries (LICs) It calls upon international partners to extend duty free quota free treatment to LDCs and LDC regions in order to support and promote regional integration. (This approach is fully WTO-compatible.) ‘LDC regions’ are regions where the majority of members are LDCs.

Applied to the EU, this would imply the EU providing the Everything But Arms (EBA) scheme to EAC and other sub-Saharan African regions. This proposal now needs all our collective support.

The WTO Negotiations

In the interest of time, my comments here will be relatively brief:

1) The Doha Round negotiations were conceived not with development in mind, but with the market access interests of developed countries in mind. This explains why, in the 10 years of negotiations, the large majority of progress has been made in the areas of market access.

2) Right now, our developed country partners think that ‘the world has changed’. They now want emerging economies to take the same level of commitments as they do. They do not therefore want the Doha Round concluded based on the existing mandate (which provides developing countries some little flexibilities). For us, we must keep the unity between developing countries. If India and China are treated as developed countries, it will not be long before the non-LDCs in Africa are also treated as developed countries. Some of us have higher GDPs than China and India.

3) We hear that now the developed countries want to get rid of the Doha Round, harvest only some issues of interest to them (and avoid the hard issues such as agricultural subsidies) and bring in new issues, investment, competition, climate change.

The best strategy for the time being in the WTO, in order to avoid the introduction of investment and competition, is to continue emphasizing that the Doha Round must be completed before these Singapore issues can even be considered.

(There is a clear Decision by the General Council on 1 August 2004 on these issues (investment, competition and government procurement), that ‘no work towards negotiations on any of these issues will take place within the WTO during the Doha Round.’ (Para 1g, WT/L/579, 1 Aug 2004)).

4) If there are efforts to pursue a faster track of negotiations on some issues as opposed to others, this faster track must prioritize development issues in the Doha Round – Special and Differential Treatment and Implementation issues (rebalancing the Uruguay Round imbalances).

5) In the medium to longer term, we need to bring our collective wisdom to the issue of how we can shape the multilateral trading system, so that EAC and Africa’s industrialization and food security efforts can be enhanced. The rules of the WTO must be scrutinized to support these goals. But we must provide the push together; as the Baganda say: What is looked for by many will have a finder. And an unpleasant matter should be seen from an unpleasant viewpoint.

Conclusion

I hope that my intervention has been sufficiently open-ended to allow for robust exchanges and implementable recommendations to the ongoing discussions concerning EPAs, FTAs, Regional Integration processes, bilateral and plurilateral agreements. I am compelled to conclude with the final observation of the South Commission in their Report:

“In mobilizing all its latent power, the South has first to ensure that its economies are self-fueling and that their growth is not simply a by-product of growth in the North. The South needs to expand its presence in Northern markets, for which purpose it needs improved access and the role-back of protectionism, which is now often directed specifically at products of considerable interest to the South in terms of export. But the emerging development patterns of the North clearly suggest that the Northern locomotive economies will not pull the train of Southern economies at a pace that will satisfy its passengers – the people of the South. The locomotive power has to be generated to the maximum extent possible within the economies of the South themselves.”

As Mwalimu would often say: It can be done; Play your part!

Thank you for your attention.
