5. Way Forward – Policy Recommendations
•
•
Maximise the development benefits from emigration.
Build trust and strengthen the engagement with the diaspora by capitalising on the many and active
diaspora associations that already exist in the region.
Make the most of the diaspora's financial resources by formalising remittances and attracting diasporal
investments more strategically. Encourage diaspora investment by facilitating administrative and
regulatory processes, and establish a dedicated interactive platform for diaspora engagement. Assist
the new initiatives that support diaspora investment at the local level.
Facilitate emigrants' return and reintegration into the labour market by providing incentives and
simplifying administrative procedures.
Continue to develop a policy framework for promoting and supporting the return of students and
knowledge transfers of the scientific and professional diasporas.
