As our mission in Tanzania draws to a close, the AEPI delegation has engaged in several significant visits to European embassies in Dar es Salaam. These visits have been pivotal in fostering international support and collaboration for enhancing women’s leadership within the East African Community (EAC) region.
Key Discussions on Women’s Leadership
Throughout these visits, conversations centered on the critical importance of women’s leadership in the EAC region. We explored various ways to offer capacity-building support to both current and aspiring women leaders. These discussions highlighted the need for comprehensive strategies that empower women to take on leadership roles and influence decision-making processes effectively.
Engagements with European Embassies
During our visit to the Embassy of Sweden, we had the pleasure of meeting with Sandra Diesel, Deputy Head of Mission. The discussions were insightful, focusing on collaborative efforts to bolster women’s leadership in the region.
In another productive meeting at the Embassy of Finland, we engaged with Tomi Lounio, Deputy Head of Mission, and his colleagues. The conversation further reinforced the shared commitment to supporting women’s leadership and capacity-building initiatives.
Looking Ahead
The successful completion of our mission in Tanzania marks a significant step in our ongoing efforts to strengthen women’s leadership across the EAC region. The partnerships and commitments forged during these visits are invaluable as we continue to work towards our mission of promoting human dignity, justice, and democratic values.
