The Toolkit for Understanding Diaspora Investment

This Toolkit has been designed for African governments to assess the viability of the diaspora investing financially back home and to determine the best approach for attracting this investment. The Toolkit provides a systematic guide for governments to work through, where the findings and recommendations will form the basis for robust diaspora investment strategies and shed light on what development finance institutions (DFIs), multilateral and bi-lateral agencies can do to support them. It is logical and straightforward in its approach, and available to non-financial experts.

The Toolkit is comprised of:

A- Handbook – Where activities should be worked through chronologically and systematically. 

1. What to Expect? 
2. Guides to Data Collection 
3. Diaspora Investment Assessment Use and Analysis 
4. Diaspora Investment Vehicles & Tools to Support Diaspora Investment
