Context

After the first-ever International Diaspora Ministerial Conference 2013 held in Geneva, the Global Diaspora Summit 2022 will give the opportunity to attendees to once again stress at the highest political level the importance of engaging with diaspora communities as well as learn about new tools and effective approaches to engage, enable and empower their diasporas to become agents for development. iDiaspora is a community-driven digital venue, facilitated by IOM, designed to empower diaspora engagement in the 21st century. Volunteers will directly contribute to expanding the reach of the GDS and iDiaspora Platform by generating the content of interest w/c can then be shared through social media to general interest & drive traffic toward the platform while providing the volunteer an opportunity to generate visibility for their work. The Global Diaspora Summit aims to once again to follow up on the precedent set by the Global Diaspora Ministerial Conference in 2013 to once again highlight at the highest political level the profile of the important role of transnational communities as agents and accelerators of sustainable development.
