Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>African Union (AU)\u2019s former ambassador to the United States of America, Ambassador Arikana Chihombori-Quao, has said Africans in the diaspora have to invest in Africa.<\/p>\n

Chihombori-Quao who is the founder and President of the African Diaspora Development Institute says her organisation strives to revive the spirit of Pan-Africanism. She said:<\/p>\n

We want to mobilise African diaspora to invest in Africa and find solutions to African problems. We want to continue to wake up the spirit of pan-Africanism which is important in Africa\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

She made the remarks after paying a courtesy call on Foreign Affairs and International Trade Minister Ambassador Fredrick Shava this Friday.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe is this year expected to host a major conference for the African diaspora community in Victoria Falls to deliberate on strategies for inclusive and sustainable economic development in line with Agenda 2063.<\/p>\n

Diaspora remittances have been among the top foreign currency earners for Zimbabwe in the past decade, according to reports by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ).<\/p>\n

Some Africans in the diaspora have, however, been choosing to invest elsewhere citing a choking business environment in their home countries.<\/p>\n

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has since 2017 been saying Zimbabwe is open for business after poor policies chased investors away. Analysts still believe a lot needs to be done to ensure the environment is conducive for business.<\/p>\n
