Diaspora Policy

Diaspora policy refers to a government's strategies and initiatives aimed at engaging citizens living abroad—called the diaspora—in ways that benefit both the individuals and the home country. This includes encouraging them to invest, share knowledge, preserve cultural ties, and support development projects. Such policies seek to create mutually beneficial relationships, leveraging the skills, resources, and networks of expatriates to foster economic growth, cultural exchange, and national development. Effective diaspora policies recognize the importance of maintaining strong connections with citizens living overseas while facilitating their active participation in their homeland's progress.
