    EMBAIXADA DO BRASIL EM DAR ES SALAAM RELATÓRIO DE GESTÃO EMBAIXADOR CARLOS ALFONSO IGLESIAS PUENTE A presente versão simplificada e ostensiva do relatório de minha gestão como titular da Embaixada do Brasil em Dar es Salaam está estruturada da seguinte forma: I- Introdução II- Relações Políticas – política interna, externa e relações bilaterais; III- Relações Econômicas – panorama econômico-comercial e promoção comercial e de investimentos; IV- Cooperação Técnica e educacional – panorama, projeto Cotton Victoria e outros de cooperação técnica; cooperação educacional e promoção de língua portuguesa; V- Difusão cultural; VI – Cumulatividades – Comores, Seicheles e EAC 2. Algumas das maiores mudanças empreendidas pela minha gestão à frente do posto ocorreram nos setores de administração e consular. A fim de contornar as graves deficiências no controle patrimonial, decorrentes de problemas do programa de inventário, o posto conseguiu desenvolver novo banco de dados em Microsoft Access, cujas licenças também serviram para que se informatizasse, num segundo momento, o setor de administração, em particular o de contabilidade, e de atendimento consular. O sistema informatizado pôde garantir um serviço ao consulente ainda mais rápido e eficaz, de forma a complementar medidas adotadas logo que assumi a embaixada, e destinadas a tornar o atendimento mais humanizado e empático, entre as quais destaco a bem-sucedida implementação de protocolo de atendimento consular, que tem contribuído para assegurar atendimento ao público sempre cortês, eficiente e consistente. Na área consular, cite-se, ainda, a abertura recente, por proposta minha, de consulado honorário em Zanzibar, que tem por objetivo atender o crescente afluxo de turistas brasileiros no arquipélago e facilitar a interlocução com o governo daquela região semiautônoma.

There was the possibility that it might face defeat on election day – October 25. They must be happy with the results (which are given below). The main opposition party CHADEMA had acquired a new and dynamic leader, Edward Lowassa, a former CCM Prime Minister under President Kikwete. Further, the party had joined with three other parties to form a coalition, called UKAWA (Umoja wa Katiba ya Wananchi) or ‘Coalition of Defenders of the People’s Constitution’, which promised to present a strong challenge, and which had access to sufficient resources to run a formidable campaign. UKAWA must have been disappointed by the results and Lowassa refused initially to accept them. cover photo: Inauguration of President Magufuli, Nov 5th 2015 2015 Election & Results 3 (Details of what happened in the period leading up to the elections were given in Tanzanian Affairs No 112).
