Maximise the development benefits from emigration.
Develop the institutional and policy frameworks to support diaspora investment and knowledge
transfers. A more systematic government approach that works with existing non-state actors to strengthen
the links with and create more opportunities for the diaspora is needed.
Make the most of the diaspora's financial resources by formalising remittances and attracting diaspora
investments more strategically.
Build trust by investing in long-term partnerships with the diaspora and capitalising on the many and
active diaspora associations that already exist in the region.
Encourage knowledge transfers through collaborations with the professional and scientific
diasporas and actively support return migration of certain diaspora groups.
A one-stop shop to provide information on return, facilitation of skill recognition and improved
procedures to integrate returning children into the education system would combat the lack of tailored
services available.
