EUDiF is a project funded by the European Union’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) under the Development Cooperation Instrument. The pilot phase ran from June 2019 – June 2024, with a second phase running June 2024 – September 2027. EUDiF is implemented by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD).
The EUDiF team is based at ICMPD’s office in Brussels, the ‘capital of Europe’ and home of our donor, the European Union. Do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in joining our activities or to exchange on new ideas in the field of diaspora engagement for development.
