Mainstreaming diaspora for development with capacity building and expert deployment

How we work

EUDiF offers support to public institutions of partner countries and diaspora organisations based in Europe. In the pilot phase (2019-2024), this was via 16 capacity development actions. In the second phase (2024-2027), EUDiF continues to provide capacity development to public institutions, whilst introducing grants for diaspora organisations, as well as providing practice exchange and learning opportunities to both.

All partnerships are demand-driven, co-developed and sustainably designed. They centre the added-value of diaspora engagement for development, including through use of diaspora expertise.

With public institutions

Capacity development support provided by EUDiF is demand-driven, small-scale and strictly skills and knowledge-oriented.
EUDiF does not provide: grants/subsidy, soft and hard equipment, infrastructure, permanent/regular staff costs.

With diaspora organisations

11 grants have been awarded for diaspora-led projects in 2025. Beyond financial support, D4D grantees are accompanied with a training programme that aims to strengthen diaspora organisations as lasting development actors.
