Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Notice of Upcoming Diaspora Event by the African Union Commission - Postponed

Another useless, ego-boosting event meant for recognition-seeking egotists!

 

Be sure that AU's CIDO is not part of this scam!

Dear Stakeholders:

Due to unforeseen and last minute  contingency, the date(s) for the Town Hall Meetings organized by the African Union Commission (as previously announced below) have  been postponed to yet to be determined date(s), which would be more suitable for a program of this significance. 

Sorry for any inconvenience the rescheduling may have on your time and other resources. But rest assured the change of dates takes into account the need to engage  the civil society.  The Directorates of  Citizen and Diaspora Organizations and Information and Communications will  keep stakeholders abreast when the new dates  are determined by the African Union Commission.

Keep the enthusiasm and look forward to being part of the solutions for a prosperous, united, peaceful and stronger Africa.

May God/Allah Bless You.

Notice of Upcoming Diaspora Event

 

 

Town Hall Meetings to engage the Diaspora Media on Implementation of the AU Communication Strategy and Agenda 2063 , Washington and New York, 4 and 8 August 2014

 

 

As part of the preparations for the upcoming African-US Leaders' Summit, the AUC will be organizing two Town Hall Meetings as side-events to engage the Diaspora Media on the Implementation of the AU Communication Strategy and Agenda 2063 in Washington and New York on 4 and 8 August 2014 respectively.

 

The purpose of the Town Hall meetings is to mobilize the media as a vehicle for building a comprehensive stakeholder community within the African Union that involves and engages all sections and stata of the African community in AU activities, policies and programs.

 

The advantages of this process are two-fold. First, it would raise awareness of the activities, policies and program of the African Union.  Second, it will establish a working partnership between the AU, Diaspora journalists and the International media within and outside Africa on AU program and activities.

 

Specifically, the Town Hall meetings aims to ensure ownership and involvement of the African Diaspora media in the implementation phase of AU Communication, Advocacy and Marketing Strategy 2014-2017, notably in Outcome I: A more vibrant, positively visible and people-centred African Union, supported by more effective communication structures."   The Town Hall meetings will also discuss the communication component of Agenda 2063 so as to invite the Diaspora media to contribute to this important agenda through their respective channels and update them on the ongoing consultation that the AU has embarked upon to ensure that African citizens as a whole can assume ownership of the agenda and become integral part of the process through the popularization of the vision by journalists in particular and the media in general.

Consequently, the main target group for the Town Hall meetings are journalists and the media. The Town Hall meetings are being organized by the Directorate of Information and Communication (DIC) of the African Union Commission (AUC) with the Support of the Directorate of the Strategic Planning, Monitoring & Resource Mobilization (SPPMERM), the Citizens and Diaspora Directorate (CIDO) and AU Offices in the Washington and New York.
