Objectives

- To carry forward the Government’s commitment to actively engage the diaspora to the development of their country.
- To acknowledge the growing need of the qualified diaspora to relocate back to Tanzania following available opportunities.
- To encourage professional Tanzanians in the Diaspora such as Medical Doctors, Computer engineers, Accountants, to participate in the social economic development activities back in Tanzania.
- To acknowledge the value and importance of the Diaspora and consider the best way for the Government to engage them.
- To review progress made since the establishment of the Diaspora Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
- And finally to deepen the link between the Diaspora, their Government and their home country.
