As online fraud and technological challenges threaten financial systems, stakeholders across East Africa are gearing up for a major collaborative effort.
The Tanzania Fintech Association (TAFINA) is leading the charge with the East African Fintech Investment Forum (EAIF) 2024, an event set to transform the region’s fintech landscape.
The two-day forum, beginning next Thursday in Dar es Salaam, will unite investors, regulators and financial institutions from across East Africa.
The forum aims to spark critical discussions and idea-sharing on combating online fraud and exploring the practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in addressing these issues. TAFINA Vice Chairperson Reuben Mwatosya highlighted the need for collective problem-solving in facing technological challenges.
“There are various technological issues that require collaboration and idea exchange from different institutions. For instance, tackling the misuse of AI in fraud needs a unified approach to develop effective solutions,” Mr Mwatosya said.
This year’s forum theme, “Invest & Partner: Leave No One Behind,” reflects the commitment to promoting inclusive growth and forging meaningful partnerships within the rapidly evolving fintech sector of East Africa. Shadrack Kamenya, Secretary General of TAFINA, expressed excitement about the event.
“We are thrilled to host this year’s East African Fintech Investment Forum. Our program is designed to address both the unique challenges and opportunities in the fintech landscape. We look forward to bringing together industry leaders, innovators and investors for what promises to be an impactful and engaging event.” Through initiatives like the EAIF, TAFINA aims to create an environment that fosters innovation, investment and sustainable economic development. The upcoming forum is poised to be a milestone event, advancing the future of fintech in East Africa.

Unguja. Opposition party ACT Wazalendo today officially bids farewell to its former Chairman, Juma Duni Haji, also known as Babu Duni, as part of a new policy designed to honor retired senior leaders at a ceremony held at Kiembesamaki, Zanzibar.
The initiative highlights the party’s commitment to recognizing and supporting individuals who have served with dedication and integrity.
Babu Duni, who stepped down earlier this year, was succeeded by Othman Masoud, now the First Vice President of Zanzibar.
The policy aims to provide ongoing respect and support to retired leaders, ensuring their continued recognition and contribution to the party’s development.
“Recognizing their significant contributions to the development and prosperity of the party, this policy ensures that retired leaders continue to be acknowledged and respected by both the party and the community,” the policy states.
To benefit from this policy, leaders must not have left or been expelled from the party. They must have served the party with honor and dedication. The national leadership committee will determine whether a leader has fulfilled these criteria.
The policy seeks to honor retired leaders, protect their dignity, acknowledge their contributions, leverage their ideas for the party’s growth, and support them to the best of the party’s ability.
In honoring these leaders, the party will provide a vehicle, the type of which will be determined by the national leadership committee. Additionally, they will receive a monthly allowance, with the amount also set by this committee.
Other benefits include health insurance. If a leader does not own a home, the party will cover their rent at a rate decided by the committee.
The leadership committee may also grant special recognition based on the leader’s contributions. Retired leaders will participate in decision-making meetings according to procedures outlined in the party’s constitution.
Depending on the party’s resources at the time, the policy may also apply to retired deputy chairpersons for both the mainland and Zanzibar, the Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary-General for both mainland and Zanzibar, and the party’s Attorney General.
Additionally, leaders, executives, or members with exceptional contributions to the party’s protection, advocacy, and defense may also benefit, as determined by the leadership committee.
Currently, those who are eligible for benefits under this policy include Juma Duni Haji (retired party Chairman) and Zitto Kabwe (retired party leader).Continue Reading
