ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Market Opening and Globalisation

One course of action in the development of new economic strategies towards market opening and globalisation is the Economic Discussion Circle. Relevant actors from politics, economy and civil society meet regularly to discuss the trends of economic development in the country. FES also invited members of the Economic Discussion Circle to a study tour to Germany for one week. On this occasion the participants met with representatives of economic and development research institutes as well as of business associations, discussed with politicians and heads of Africa desks in German ministries and came together with NGO representatives.

As a support for the members of the discussion circle, but also for other audience, the FES publishes an Info-Service with information on political, economic as well as development topics.

Further Activities (examples):

• Seminars on trade policy for different target groups
• Workshops for journalists covering economic topics
• Seminars for political leaders
• Publication: "Investment in Tanzania"
