Collaboration between the Government of Fiji and IOM in the framework of the project “Engaging with Diaspora for Fiji’s Development”

In 2019, IOM approved the pilot project “Engaging with Diaspora for Fiji’s Development” to be implemented in partnership with several government ministries in Fiji, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project aims to assist the government to engage more closely and strategically with Fijian diaspora groups for the development of Fiji. Planned activities include a mapping survey of the Fijian diaspora in Australia, the development of recommendations to the Government of Fiji on strategic engagement with Fijian diaspora communities, as well as the organisation of a diaspora engagement meeting in Suva to strengthen the partnership between the Government and diaspora groups.
