Diaspora to Catalyze Private Investments and Entrepreneuship

The African Development Bank, in collaboration with the African Union Commission and the International Organization for Migration, launched the “Streamlining Diaspora Engagement to Catalyze Private Investments and Entrepreneurship for Enhanced Resilience” (SDE4R) project. Liberia is among eight African countries benefiting from this initiative, which aims to mobilise diaspora investments and expertise to support socioeconomic development. The project is further expected to contribute to reinforcing socioeconomic resilience of vulnerable populations, particularly women, youth, rural dwellers and forcibly displaced populations, through diaspora-related humanitarian, educational, health and other resilience-building support and temporary return of skilled and qualified diaspora members.
