In November 2005, Diageo led a team of American journalists on an 11-day tour to Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana.
The journalists visited the World Bank Office and the East African Development Bank, and were addressed amongst others by the director general of the Nigerian Stock Exchange and the Kenyan Minister for Foreign Affairs. Interesting features of the trip including visits to gold mines, newspapers, water projects, and breweries provided an opportunity for the journalists to grasp an informed and unique view of Africa. |
