YES! The lack of coordinated strategy is a major pitfall and source of Africa's dis-empowerment and weakness in the global geo-political dispensations. This also applies to the Diaspora, which should be a strong and viable partner with the public sector to drive the Africa We Want. You are right on the money and we look forward to your presentation.
If we succeed in presenting a reliable assessment and capacity through the AU ECOSOCC to the African Heads of State, work begins!!!! There is no earthy reason why Africa cannot be her own best developer. So we are appealing to all Sons and Daughters of Africa.....let us build that which should be a proud source of our ID.
Stay blessed and true.

Dear Evelyn:
Greetings and best wishes to you. Thank you for your complements and for copying the materials to me. I enjoyed reading them. I shall register for the conference. My areas of focus, of course, is in strategy, management, leadership, and entrepreneurship and small businesses management/conseling.Strategy is very important in all areas of human endeavor. See how an effective strategy, in the attached article, has helped President Obama, to succeed in the Iran Deal with Congress.God bless you always for sharing. Chris Gekonge.

Thank you!!! Remy
Of course, your request is an obligation....remember, we .....the AU ECOSOCC are for the people! as the conscience with the people. I will be back today with a couple of able people. But I would like to clue in Chifu Wa Malindi in Big Apple New York. He is from Kenya. Mr. Christopher Gekongo has walked the block as an old chip in everything business. He, too, is copied. He has written books on that.
It was thrilling to know you are from the Caribbean and so connected to Motherland. As I said yesterday, it is your natural right and AU defines Africa Diaspora as all people of African descent.
I am creating an AU Diaspora directory for Pan African Networks in order to foster an integrative impact on the work of the AU. Looking forward to seeing on you the panel - Reason or Redundancy....which also means Reason or Perish!...which way Africa? Make or Mar.
Talk to you, soonWishing you the best,Evelyn

Hello Evelyn,
I hope you are well. Thank you for the call yesterday, I like your passion, I recognise myself in it.I want to take this opportunity to extend my congratulations for your latest nomination.I've heard so much about you and what you do, we have a few common contacts, and I cannot wait to meet you soon.As you could understand, I come from the perspective of the African Diaspora, the reconnection of the Diaspora and its people is very important to me.I would be so honoured to work closer to you, to find some avenues of collaboration with what you do for the Diaspora, you are doing such a great job. I would be so glad to have you as a keynote speaker one day.Let's plan to meet in DC or NYC, I will do my best to attend in DC on October 8th.
I don't know whether you will be able to help me, I'm looking for a representative from any African countries (Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, etc, etc...) to seat down on our panel with institutional investors. There will be a lot of people in town in NYC for the UN GA, do you know anyone who could be a good fit on this panel. Please find the program in the enclosed to circulate.
Best regards,Richard Remy

The Statute of ECOSOCC, adopted by the Heads of State and Government at the Third Ordinary Session of the Assembly in July 2004 defines it as an advisory organ of the African Union composed of different social and professional groups of the Member States of the African Union [Assembly/AU/Dec.42 (III)].By way of introduction, ECOSOCC is mandated to:*Promote dialogue between all segments of African people on issues concerning the Continent and its future;

Sectoral Cluster Committees have been established as key operational mechanisms of ECOSOCC to formulate opinions and provide inputs into the policies and programmes of the African Union. The Sectoral Cluster Committees of ECOSOCC shall prepare and submit advisory opinions and reports of ECOSOCC and shall also perform any other functions as may be assigned to it.By way of introduction, I am a Mauritian National and I took oath of office as the Chairperson for the Cluster Committee on Infrastructure & Energy in March 2015.The key pillars/portfolios under the IE Cluster are: Energy, Transport, Communications, Infrastructure and Tourism. My colleague Charlotte Ciceron is providing secretariat and coordination support to the cluster.We are inviting African professionals and experts having the continent's interest at heart to join us at shaping a better Africa.
