Capacity-building activities involving diaspora civil servants

Benin has demonstrated that its diaspora can be engaged to build public sector capacities. In 2018, the National Association of Communes of Benin signed an agreement with the Association of French Elected Officials of Beninese Origin. The partnership, which saw high-level support from the Beninese presidency, will see Beninese-origin elected officials from France work with Beninese mayors to strengthen local governance.
