I am also humbled for having been invited to officiate this Conference whose main objective is to promote organic agriculture in East Africa. Chairperson and Conference participants, let me at the outset welcome all our guests to Tanzania and to the City of Dar es Salaam. You are all here to share experiences on how to promote organic agriculture in our countries.
Nawapongeza sana The Foundation for Civil Society kwa kuandaa Tamasha hili litakalojadili masuala muhimu ya maendeleo ya Taifa letu. Ninawapongeza pia wawakilishi wa AZAKi kutoka Zanzibar na Tanzania Bara mliotenga muda wenu kuhudhuria Tamasha hili kwa lengo la kubadilishana uzoefu na kujenga sekta moja ya AZAKi yenye sauti moja. Ndugu Mwenyekiti, Serikali inatambua mchango mkubwa wa Asasi za Kiraia katika jitihada za kuongeza kasi ya maendeleo ya kijamii na kiuchumi.
