Uganda diaspora remittances fall by $233m in 10 months

The African diaspora and migrants have for years been instrumental in helping family and friends at home get by, as huge annual remittance flows illustrate, but their contributions beyond remittances could have a significant impact on development, if tapped into.

The African Diaspora has grown to become such an important source of foreign exchange for Africa to the extent that the African Union (AU) has designated it as a sixth development “zone”, the other zones being West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa, and North Africa.

Remittances from the diaspora increased by a significant 16 per cent to (Sh10.4 billion) $119.6 million in March from $103.4 million in a comparable period in 2013, Central Bank of Kenya said on Friday.

 Former prime minister Amama Mbabazi has said his arrest by the police on Thursday will not deter him from his campaign plans for his presidential candidature.
