EUDiF is a pilot project funded by the European Union’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) under the Development Cooperation Instrument. The project runs from June 2019 until the end of 2023 and 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. For more information on the different ways of working with us, visit our Collaboration page and then get in touch.
