Diaspora Strategy In 2017, a Diaspora Strategy Paper and Plan of Action was developed by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The document was subsequently updated in November 2020. Much of what is contained in the strategy is already being implemented. The Unit will post the Strategy Paper on its website to allow for feedback and suggestions.
Local Work and Engagement to Supplement Diaspora Work The Unit continues to engage in different activities to ensure greater success in Diaspora Engagement. It has begun to interact with local stakeholders for greater buy-in of the strategy and facilitation of Diaspora interests. It has commenced ground work with local communities to better understand their needs and assess gaps that exist. This information will be supplied to Diaspora groups keen in socio-economic development.
Developing Models Examples: The Unit is currently engaging a Diaspora group keen on developing a model using health, education, and agriculture to empower and transform several communities in East Corentyne. If successful, this model will be replicated in other regions. A partnership with a member of the Diaspora resulted in the Unit connecting Small Business Bureau (SBB) with interested persons in Buxton to register as small businesses and benefit from training and grants. This partnership resulted in 108 persons from the communities of Buxton/Friendship benefitting from this exercise. The next step is the establishment of an incubator to help the villagers.
