ABOUT
THE WEBCHAT
On March 8th at 9:30am EST, the Secretary’s Office of Global
Partnerships (S/GP) and the Bureau of African Affairs at the U.S. Department of
State — alongside its International diaspora Engagement Alliance (IdEA) program
— will host #DiasporaVoices, a live-streamed interactive opportunity for
diaspora communities to engage with top diplomats and entrepreneurs via social
media.
We will discuss the importance of promoting
entrepreneurship in Africa, which is one of the best ways to boost Africa’s
economic growth, spur development and reduce poverty. It will also help bridge
diaspora initiatives with those taking place within the U.S. government.
This interactive webchat aims to explore how African
diaspora groups can partner with the United States in fostering
entrepreneurship and inclusive economic growth in their countries of heritage
by forging connections, coordinating resources, collaborating on programs,
gaining media exposure and more. Diaspora communities provide a strong and
valuable link between the U.S. and countries all over the world.
Participants may tweet questions and
comments before and during the chat, using the hashtag #DiasporaVoices.
Consider this your invitation to sit at the
table with leadership from the Bureau of African Affairs and other speakers
including:
●
Public Affairs Officer, U.S. Embassy Lusaka, Zambia, Janet Deutsch
Your question could be featured in an interactive chat
session, addressing leveraging diaspora groups to spur entrepreneurship and
inclusive economic growth.

2017. Are we ready to take up the load? Hospital, and community response teams.
NOTE:
- · Keep in mind many hospitals in urban, and other areas may be in older structures and in need of full decontamination for possible dormant diseases.
- · Could volunteer fire\ems stations with faith-based and other organizations as part of the community response team fill the gap for those that may ‘fall between the cracks’, especially in our communities.
- · Gulf, and East Coast States the hurricane season will soon arrive. Is your community ready?
