INVITATION TO ATTEND THE KENYA DIASPORA HOMECOMING RECEPTION, SAFARI PARK HOTEL, 21ST-22ND DECEMBER, 2015

.

As you will recall from your participation in the Kenya Diaspora Easter Investment Conference 2015 at Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club, 30th March – 2nd April 2015, the Government committed to sustain the momentum to integrate Kenyans in the Diaspora in every aspect of the development of the country.  

In this spirit, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is taking advantage of the presence of many Kenyans home for Christmas Holidays with their families to update you on the state of play in regard to Diaspora matters. 

The Kenya Diaspora Homecoming Reception will take place on 21st – 22nd December, 2015 at Safari Park Hotel. Your participation along with your family would be highly appreciated. Participation is free of charge.

 

The 2-day event will be interactive with emphasis on sharing ideas rather than the presentation of technical papers.  The event will be an opportunity for you to get updates on the proposed improvements in the institutional framework for engaging the Diaspora:  a Diaspora Communication Strategy, an outline for a National Diaspora Council of Kenya, perspectives on optimizing remittances for development and progress towards Diaspora voting.  In addition, exhibition booths are available at Ksh. 40, 000.

 

 

In keeping with the festive end-of-the year spirit, you are encouraged to bring your family to participate in fun activities that will be organized for the occasion.
