Diaspora Experts
The term "diaspora expert" refers to qualified individuals with a migration background who currently live and work in Germany, but wish to support their country of origin by volunteering at a local organisation for a short period. We currently support diaspora experts who wish to take up assignments in the following countries: Albania, Cameroon, Colombia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Georgia, Ghana, India, Kosovo, Nepal, Serbia, Tunisia, Ukraine, and Viet Nam.
Diaspora Organisations
Diaspora organisations implement development-oriented projects together with local partners to improve living conditions, drive innovation and foster knowledge exchange between their old and new homes. We support these projects by offering expert advice on how to transform project ideas into impactful initiatives and by providing financial support. We currently support diaspora organisations that are active or seeking to become active in the following countries: Albania, Cameroon, Colombia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Georgia, Ghana, India, Kosovo, Nepal, Serbia, Tunisia, Ukraine, and Viet Nam.
Diaspora Networks
In our increasingly interconnected world, the importance of networking cannot be overstated. We support the establishment of diaspora networks within Germany, and between Germany and select partner countries. We also organise a wide range of diaspora events across different levels.
