Developing Diaspora Engagement in Comoros

The government of Comoros is starting to take a greater interest in diaspora engagement, and is currently working with IOM to support the implementation of the government’s SCA2D national development strategy and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). IOM is also assisting in the implementation of a diaspora engagement project which seeks to mobilise the human and other diaspora resources of the diaspora (investments, social capital, political capital), in order to build capacities of national stakeholders, to foster dialogue, and develop multi-sectoral strategies for leveraging the diaspora’s contributions to national development.
