Episode Synopsis

In the most recent episode of Jijuze, host Brian discusses the upcoming African Nations Championship, or CHAN, 2024, and the various ways its co-hosts, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, are preparing. Kenya aims to utilize the tournament as an opportunity for urban redevelopment and increase tourism, aided by investments in stadium infrastructure. Tanzania is focusing on boosting its tourism sector with a brand-driven approach, aiming to increase the economy with anticipated flow from the events. Uganda is adopting a community-centric approach, investing in public-private partnerships to benefit local artisans, vendors, and cultural arts. With all three countries jointly presenting East Africa as a unified travel destination, CHAN 2024's challenge lies in converting the temporary tournament excitement into lasting economic and social advantages. https://jijuze.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/chan.webpOPINION: Why CHAN 2024 is not just a tournament, but a catalyst for East Africa integrationhttps://www.nilepost.co.ug/opinions/277304EAC to promote the region as a unified tourism destination at ITB Berlin 2025https://www.ippmedia.com/the-guardianCHAN 2024, Kenya's opportunity to boost economy, tourism - The Standard
