In her four-day visit to the African nation, the UNDP chief also visited the National Electoral Commission, looked at the voter registration facilities and met with first-time voters who will cast their ballots this October. She also talked with Tanzanian Finance Minister Mustafa Mkulo about MDG targets on HIV/AIDS as well as the Delivering as One initiative.
Clark also met with President Amani Abeid Karume upon visiting Tanzania’s semi-autonomous island of Zanzibar, where she also visited the Jozani-Chwaka Bay Conservation Area.
