IOM surveys on diaspora
During the last decade, IOM has produced more than 50 diaspora surveys/
mappings in order to gather data and ideas that are eventually used in
formulating policy propositions and recommendations, and as a background
for developing future projects on diaspora engagement. Among the first
diaspora surveys these were undertaken in UK, aiming to characterize
diaspora groups. Now, surveys are undertaken globally, following three
broad sets of objectives: 1) evaluate diaspora engagement perspectives;
2) asses the profile of diasporas; and 3) determine strategies for diaspora
outreach and eventually mobilization.

Available for PDF download
Réputé être un « réservoir abondant de main-d’œuvre » durant la période
coloniale, une « Terre des Hommes » pour sa contribution aux efforts de
guerre de la Première et de la Deuxième Guerre mondiales, le Burkina
Faso (ancienne Haute-Volta) a fait l’objet de très nombreuses études et
recherches sur le fait migratoire . Néanmoins, la présente recherche, par son
objet d’étude, par l’envergure de son terrain et par la diversité des thèmes
abordés, constitue une première du genre au Burkina Faso.
Cette présente recherche a été initiée par le Bureau-Pays de l’Organisation
internationale pour les migrations (OIM) de Ouagadougou, avec l’appui
financier du Fonds de l’OIM pour le développement, dans le cadre du
projet de « recherche et de renforcement des capacités pour une gestion
stratégique des migrations au Burkina Faso et de la diaspora burkinabè ».
Ce projet vise à renforcer les capacités du Gouvernement du Burkina Faso
pour une meilleure gestion des migrations et de la diaspora burkinabè.
Œuvre conjointe entre l’OIM et le Gouvernement burkinabè, il comporte
plusieurs activités dont la réalisation d’une étude sur la diaspora burkinabè
au Burkina Faso et dans trois pays que sont la Côte d’Ivoire, la France et
l’Italie.

Eighteen Stories from Around the
World: Diaspora in Action
2016/28 pages
English
Engaging diaspora communities with their countries of origin is an
important aspect of IOM’s global work. Many members of overseas
diaspora communities remain connected with their country of origin. They
contribute to their new country, but can also be powerful development
actors. IOM’s Migration and Development projects aim to exchange
knowledge and skills for the reconstruction and development of countries
of origin. IOM has over 30 years of experience with programmes involving
temporary assignments of overseas diaspora communities based on
knowledge exchange in countries of origin. In the Netherlands IOM in
particular builds on good results gained since 2004 during Migration and
Development projects such as a health focused project in Ghana (MIDA
Ghana health), diaspora engagement in Cabo Verde (Dias de Cabo Verde),
Migration for Development in the Western Balkans (MIDWEB) and three
phases of Temporary Return of Qualified Nationals (TRQN) since 2006. The
publication Eighteen Stories from Around the World contains 18 stories
from the diaspora, host institution and government perspectives. It shows
the involvement of the diaspora experts, the sustainable bridges that are
built and the linkages arising between institutions in the Netherlands and
the countries of origin, e.g. between hospitals, academic institutions and
local governments.

Mapping of Nigerian Health and
Education Professionals in the United
States of America
2015/44 pages
English
The United States of America is widely known as one of the major
destinations for Nigerian migrants. Migration of Nigerians to this country
has been increasing over time, and trends show that this is still continuing.
The situation has created a huge opportunity to harness and maximize
enormous potential resources of this group.
To identify the possibility of tapping into the available skills and resources for
the development of Nigeria, the Government of Nigeria and the International
Organization for Migration (IOM) commissioned a mapping exercise of the
Nigerian diaspora working in the health and education sectors in the United
States. The information gathered in this mapping exercise will be used to
provide the federal Government of Nigeria with relevant information on the
Nigerian diaspora members who would be interested in contributing their
competencies and skills for national development and investment in their
home country.

Diaspora – Partner in the Development of Tajikistan
2015/132 pages
English, Russian
This publication is the English-translated version of the study titled
“Диаспора – партнер по развитию Таджикистана” published in 2014.
The study, funded by the International Organization for Migration (IOM)
Development Fund under the project “Ey Vatan Mesozamat!” (Engaging
Tajik Diaspora in Tajikistan Development), assesses potential contributions
of the Tajik diaspora in the Russian Federation for the development of the
home country. The research was conducted in summer 2014 and identifies
attitudes of diaspora members, their life plans and migration strategies. This
study of 725 diaspora representatives focuses on the following objectives:
(a) mapping the Tajik diaspora in the Russian Federation; (b) identifying
the diaspora members’ attitudes, life plans and migration strategies; (c)
identifying the possible directions and channels of assistance; and (d)
developing fundamental policy objectives in diaspora engagement for the
development of Tajikistan.

The trend of Nigerians migrating to South Africa has been increasing over
time and indications are that this is still continuing. The increasing migration
trend has created an opportunity to harness the potential resources of this
group. This mapping exercise was conducted to provide information on the
Nigerian diaspora working in the health and education sectors in South
Africa, as well as to identify those who are willing to invest or contribute
their skills towards the development of Nigeria.

Needs Assessment in the Nigerian
Education Sector
2014/64 pages
English
Statistics from the Central Bank of Nigeria
indicate that in 2012 Nigerians living
abroad remitted USD 21 billion to Nigeria.
As a result of such evidence, it has been
acknowledged that this is a potential source
that can contribute to national development. The evidence generally focused
on financial contributions of remittances and investments. There has been an
increased awareness of the diaspora population’s non-financial contribution to
national development. In addition to remittances, it is recognized that diaspora
members can be encouraged to contribute their competencies in critical sectors
such as education and health.
The purpose of the needs assessment of the education sector was to identify
skill and competency gaps in the sector and provide the Government with
recommendations on how the gaps could be addressed. The data gathered
would assist the Government to establish a matching system to mobilize the
diaspora for national development through a pilot scheme to encourage the
temporary or permanent return of highly skilled diaspora members so that they
can contribute to national development in the education sector.
This report has six chapters. It defines the methodology used in gathering the
information, identifies skills and competency gaps in the education sector, and
suggests a number of strategies for addressing them. The data collected is
analysed and the presentation of the results is organized thematically to cover
the five specific objectives of the assessment.
Both quantitative and qualitative data obtained from relevant stakeholders are
analysed. The report highlights the modalities for diaspora engagement and
identifies existing diaspora programmes that can be leveraged on.
The conclusions and recommendations are organized in themes, highlighting
the interventions that the Government needs to make in order to persuade
the diaspora to return home to contribute to national development even in the
short term.

Untapped potential: Engaging
Basotho diasporas in the South for
national development
2014/78 pages
English
As a landlocked country with high rates of emigration, Lesotho widely
relies on the resources of its migrants. This study seeks to analyse how
Basotho emigrants in the South can become more engaged in the human
development of their home country?
In the framework of the development of a new migration policy, the
Government of Lesotho has requested the ACP Observatory to explore
potential ways to enhance the contribution of diasporas.
This publication reviews the existing evidence on Basotho diasporas in the
South and proposes key elements of a diaspora policy, in line with practices
implemented in other contexts and major recommendations emerged from
international migration debates.

Spotlight on the young and skilled:
Exploring the potential contribution
of Kenya’s diasporas in the South
2013/82 pages
English
This study on Kenyan diasporas in the South brings to light important
findings on South-South migration as well as innovative insights for Kenyan
policymakers and development practitioners. It addresses the geographic
and skills distribution of Kenyan diasporas in the South (in particular in 10
African countries), explains the motivating factors behind their migration
and shows the ways in which they interact with their country of origin at the
household, community and national level.
The study discloses that the majority of Kenyan diaspora migrants tend to
be young and skilled workers, often employed in professions where their
technical skills are used, and willing to get involved in Kenyan national
development. Nevertheless, the study also highlights that up to now there
has been limited formal engagement between the Government of Kenya and
members of the diasporas in Africa. A door is opened to a new and fruitful
collaboration through key recommendations such as dual citizenship or
voting rights. This overview of Kenyan diasporas in the South assists not only
Kenyan policymakers to engage their diasporas for national development,
but also the members of diasporas themselves and their associations to
understand the role and relevance they could have in their country of origin.

Nigerian diasporas in the South:
Harnessing the potential for national
development
2013/100 pages
English
This first ever study on the Nigerian diasporas in Ghana and South Africa
highlights that the profile of these diasporas is similar to that of Nigerians
in Europe and North America in terms of migration push and pull factors,
remittance behavior and identification with “home”.
In addition to filling various data gaps, the study recommends measures to
promote the active involvement of these particular Nigerian diasporas in
development initiatives in their country of origin. The empirical evidence on
the role of diaspora members residing in the South as development agents
makes the study a must read for policymakers, civil society, researchers and
all those interested in Nigerian migration issues.

IOM-MPI Issue in Brief No. 7 –
Engaging the Asian Diaspora
2012/12 pages
ISSN 2227-5851
English
Policymakers increasingly recognize the value that diaspora populations
bring to development efforts at home, not just as senders of remittances
but also as sources of human capital and direct and indirect investments.
In Engaging the Asian Diaspora, Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias and Kathleen
Newland explore how governments in Asia are facilitating diaspora
contributions, including creation of conducive legal frameworks and
diaspora-centred institutions to initiation of programmes that specifically
target diasporas as development actors. The issue brief details a number of
legislative proposals geared at diasporas, including flexible citizenship laws
and visa arrangements, political and property rights and reduced income
tax rates; it also examines the diaspora-centred institutions in government.
The authors make the case that these and other mechanisms of diaspora
engagement, while beneficial, are insufficient if not integrated in a broadbased strategy that receives sustained attention over many years. Such
a strategy, they note, must be tailored to the unique context of each
diaspora population. The issue brief offers a helpful road map for diaspora
engagement.
While such policies must be tailored to be effective, the issue brief outlines
four fundamental steps that governments would do well to consider
across the board: (1) identify goals; (2) map diaspora geography and skills;
(3) create a relationship of trust between diasporas and governments of
both origin and destination countries; and, ultimately, (4) mobilize diasporas
to contribute to sustainable development.

22. Diasporas and Development:
Bridging Societies and States
(Diaspora Ministerial Conference
International Conference Centre
Geneva (CICG) 18–19 June 2013)
2012/260 pages
English, French, Spanish, Arabic
USD 12
The Diaspora Ministerial Conference held
on 18–19 June 2013 is a landmark in the
history of the global debate on migration
and development. Amid the flurry of international events leading up to the
2nd United Nations High Level Dialogue (HLD) on International Migration and
Development in October 2013, the diaspora conference marks the first and only
gathering of high-level politicians from all parts of the world responsible for
diaspora and their engagement in the development of their countries of origin.
International Organization for Migration (IOM) dedicated its International
Dialogue on Migration in 2013 to the diaspora theme with the full support of
its Member States, and with a view to contributing a diaspora perspective to
the HLD 2013 and the post-2015 sustainable development agenda. IOM was
well positioned to organize such a high-level dialogue in view of the fact that
it has assisted States in creating the institutions and strategies to adapt to the
new realities of a transnational world.
The conference highlighted the importance of diasporas not only in closing
the distance between societies, cultures and economies, but also in assisting
in crisis and post-crisis situations. It encouraged governments to champion
and engage diasporas at the highest political levels and mainstream diasporas
in local, national and regional labour markets and development planning.
Diasporas should also be included in any post-2015 development goal on global
partnerships. Embassies and consulates need to be strengthened to provide
outreach and services to diaspora communities, and business environments in
the countries of origin need to be robust enough to attract diaspora investments
or involvement in sustainable development projects to generate jobs and
growth. More solid data are needed on the impact of national immigration,
labour market and development policies on the behaviour of diaspora. By
all accounts, the conference has set a new framework for global dialogue on
diaspora. IOM has been requested to make the Diaspora Ministerial Conference
a regular event.

This study is intended to create a basis for the development of a framework
for the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) to engage the Zambian
diaspora in national development efforts. There is currently very little in
terms of a coherent and articulated policy on diaspora issues in Zambia. The
study is conducted as a direct response to calls from several stakeholders,
including government partners, for detailed information on the diaspora
that will enable the formulation of informed policies and related action. The
study is primarily concerned with the views and aspirations of Zambians in
the diaspora and their potential for participation in national development.
It takes cognizance of the multidimensional nature of development and
migration, and, therefore, by providing accurate and up-to-date information,
aims to supplement the efforts of relevant development stakeholders in
drawing up a preliminary road map for short- and medium-term interventions
necessary to engage the Zambian diaspora. The study also offers guidance
for the formulation of a national diaspora policy (which is currently lacking
in Zambia) that would ensure the effective engagement of the diaspora in
national development efforts. The ultimate goal for such engagement is not
only the realization of the rights of Zambians in the diaspora to participate in
national development, but also the utilization of resources available among
the diaspora as a means of productive investment in Zambia.

This research aims at widening the parameters of the involvement of the
Kenyan diaspora in the United Kingdom (UK) in development efforts in Kenya.
The report provides an overview of the profiles of the highly skilled, semiskilled, formally and self-employed Kenyan diaspora living legally in the UK
by exploring the experiences of these individuals in terms of settlement and
challenges in their host country and assessing their potential to contribute
to the development of Kenya through investments, knowledge transfers and
remittances.
The report also puts forward a number of recommendations aimed at
involving diaspora individuals in the development and poverty reduction
in their homeland and effectively harnessing their skills and monetary

Cartographie des

Projet «Migration, Retours: Ressources pour le Développement»
Cartographie des flux migratoires des
marocains en Italie
2010/16 pages
Français
Disponible en format pdf seulement
Un des phénomènes les plus marquants de ces dernières années en matière
de migration des marocains vers l’étranger est certainement la nouvelle
orientation géographique des flux vers de nouveaux pôles d’attraction,
en l’occurrence l’Espagne et dans une moindre mesure l’Italie. L’Italie qui,
jusqu’aux années soixante, était un pays d’émigration ne constituait guère
une destination privilégiée pour les Marocains. La décennie 80 marque un
tournant dans l’histoire migratoire de ce pays qui, de pays d’émigration
est devenu un pays d’immigration, y compris pour les Marocains. Après la
crise pétrolière de 1973, les Pays d’Europe centrale et septentrionale, pays
d’accueil traditionnels des flux d’origine méditerranéenne, adoptèrent des
politiques plus restrictives. L’afflux de ressortissants marocains en Italie est
lié aux politiques migratoires mises en place après la crise pétrolière de
1973 et commence à s’imposer à partir des années quatre-vingt, pour se
poursuivre de manière plus intensive dans la décennie suivante.
La cartographie des flux migratoires des Marocains résidant en Italie renvoie
à une problématique multidimensionnelle: l’évaluation actuelle du volume
de la communauté marocaine résidant en Italie et de son évolution, sa
répartition spatiale au pays d’origine et au pays d’accueil, ainsi que ses
caractéristiques sociodémographiques et économiques (structure par âge et
sexe, état matrimonial, niveau d’instruction, activité, fécondité et mortalité,
taille des ménages) et enfin les transferts et les aspects d’intégration dans la
société italienne (acquisition de la nationalité, discrimination, délinquance).

The Impact of the Brain Drain on
Health Service Delivery in Zimbabwe:
A Response Analysis
2010/19 pages
English
The overall objective of the study is to profile the skills of Zimbabwean health
workers in the diaspora with the aim of assessing the extent and nature of
health worker migration. This would inform future human resource policy
in the health sector. The survey also assessed the generic profile of the
health care professionals and collected relevant information via detailed
questionnaires regarding the factors that induced migration, experiences of
health professionals in the diaspora, and the possibility and conditions for
short‐term and permanent return. Specifically, the study was commissioned
to achieve the following objectives:
1. To assess the nature and magnitude of health worker migration from
Zimbabwe and the impact of such migration on the health service
delivery in Zimbabwe;
2. To assess the factors that induced the emigration of health professionals
from Zimbabwe;
3. To determine the spatial distribution and profile the skills of
Zimbabwean health professionals in the diaspora;
4. To provide policy and programmatic recommendations on stemming
the brain drain of health professionals from Zimbabwe and the
possibility for short‐term and permanent return of health professionals
to Zimbabwe in a bid to address the adverse impact of the brain drain
on service delivery in the health sector.

Cette étude s’inscrit dans la thématique « migrations– développement

transnationaux dans le secteur de la santé.
Elle analyse les stratégies des migrants africains dans le secteur de la santé
en Suisse et plus particulièrement à Genève, à l’égard du développement
de leurs pays d’origine. Réalisée par l’Organisation internationale pour les
migrations (OIM, Division de la Recherche et la Division Migration et Santé)
et le département de sociologie de l’Université de Genève (UNIGE) avec
le soutien du Réseau Universitaire International Genevois (RUIG), cette
recherche a pour objet d’éclairer les actions des décideurs politiques, visant
à mobiliser les compétences et les ressources des migrants au profit de leur
pays d’origine.
L’étude montre que les pratiques de solidarité initiées par les migrants,
souvent à titre individuel, constituent dans une certaine mesure
des régulateurs des tensions et déséquilibres politiques, sociaux et
économiques. Cependant, certaines contraintes d’ordre structurel et / ou
conjoncturel entraînent leur faible institutionnalisation et réduisent les
retombées positives au niveau du développement économique et social du
pays d’origine.

The research presented in this volume was directed by Nina Nyberg
Sorensen and is based on case studies from around the world to examine
how migration influences development. The studies reveal that it is
seldom the simple act of migrating, but rather the conditions under
which migration takes place that determine the developmental impact of
migration. Rather than dwelling on normative discussions about whether
migration should contribute to development, whether remittances should
be put to more developmental uses, whether return should be promoted or
whether development cooperation should engage in collaborative efforts
with migrant and refugee diasporas, the chapters focus on the questions
policymakers and practitioners should consider when making background
analyses for such decisions.

Diaspora Dialogues
2007/66 pages
English
Migration brings substantial benefits to destination countries by easing
labour shortages, for instance in such activities as childcare or house
cleaning, low skilled jobs in the underground economy, but also jobs in
industries requiring high skills and specialist knowledge. Migrants can
contribute to the development of new technologies and skills, and enrich
the human capital, create job opportunities and wealth that result from
migrant entrepreneurial activities. These are factors that can enhance
flexibility and productivity and contribute to economic growth and GDP.
The existing knowledge base in the area of contributions made by the
diaspora in their host countries is weak and fragmentary and, combined with
the lack of an adequate theoretical and empirical framework, increases the
difficulty of assessing these effects properly. There is evidence to show that
migration affects wages and employment in host countries only minimally,
in contrast to the impression that migration to developed countries results
in higher unemployment.
Migrants not only contribute to their host societies; they maintain links with
their home countries and contribute to their development through several
channels.

Underlying this particular research effort is the goal of assisting the
authorities in Moldova to formulate a series of policies that will strengthen
the ties between migrants and their homeland. The data collection for this
research, consisting of a review of the relevant literature, formal interviews,
informal meetings and limited online correspondence, commenced with
the author’s visit to Moldova in September 2006 and included visits to Italy
(December 2006) and Moscow (February 2007). In addition, a concurrent
series of interviews was conducted over a 4-month period here in Israel.
In each of the settings, interviews and informal meetings were conducted
with migrants (rank and file as well as communal leaders) and other key
stakeholders (from government and civil society).
This report is loosely structured along the lines of a SWOT analysis, entailing
an examination of the phenomenon under study consisting of its perceived
Strengths and Weaknesses along with the Opportunities and Threats that
are brought to bear on it. While the (SWOT) structure of this document is
not necessarily the ideal conceptual prism through which to analyze this
phenomenon, it will ideally stimulate discussion, which in turn will sensitize
policymakers to the needs and sensibilities of migrants and assist them in
crafting a more effective and migrant/diaspora-friendly set of policies.

the continent of its vital human resources. Despite this enormous loss,
the African diaspora, equipped with their competencies, new ideas and
expertise gained abroad, are a tremendous asset to the development of
their countries of origin as well as to their host country.

MRS N°17 - The Development potential of
Zimbabwean in the diaspora; A Survey of
Zimbabweans Living in the UK and South
Africa
2005/96 pages/English
ISSN 1607-338X17
This report draws on findings from a survey of
1,000 Zimbabweans living in the United Kingdom
and South Africa. It examines the education and
employment skills base of respondents on arrival in either the UK or South
Africa and their educational qualifications and employment at the time of
the survey.
Transnational activities are explored, including the sending of economic
and other remittances. There is a great deal of interest in participating
in skills exchanges to Zimbabwe and/or to contributing to developmentrelated activities. This report finds strong linkages with Zimbabwe and other
Zimbabweans in the diaspora and an interest in return migration.

Since 2005, IOM United Kingdom undertakes mapping exercises in order
to determine outreach strategies for given diasporas in the framework
of Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration progammes. So far, 37
mapping exercises were published. These surveys provide precious insights
concerning socioeconomic and geographical characteristics of studied
diasporas, as well as on the media channels diaspora members use in UK.
Diaspora associations are also mapped. The recommendations provided by
these mapping exercises focus on the media to be used in order to reach
out diaspora member and to promote AVRR programmes. Since 2008, these
mapping exercises are replicated by IOM Dublin.

Institutionalising diaspora linkage;
the Bangladeshi diaspora in UK and
USA

The emigrant population has certain
emotional,
social
and
cultural
requirements, which they fulfill by
maintaining a certain degree of relationship with their origin country. This,
in many cases result in strong economic, social and cultural interactions.
Because of these links, Bangladesh along with the host countries has made
significant gains from long-term emigration of a section of its population.
This study is an attempt to provide the policymakers, civil society
organizations, private sector and the emigrant community with necessary
information to develop policies and strategies in this regard. The study is
focused on two major destinations of long-term Bangladeshi immigrants,
the United Kingdom and the United States. Expatriate Bangladeshis
(EBs) have made their mark in diverse fields in many countries. The
second generations is showing great success in entering politics and the
mainstream media. They have also been forming different associations.
More importantly, they have helped in developing a pan-Bangladeshi
identity in their countries of residence. It was found in the study that the
deep emotional attachments of the first generation EBs do not automatically
pass on to the second generation. Different innovative steps have to be
undertaken by the state, civil society and the private sector in Bangladesh
to institutionalize the Diaspora linkage. On the basis of the findings of the
study, some recommendations have been made. These have been grouped
in three sets. The first set of recommendations deals with policy issues. The
second set is made to address the concerns of the EBs and to build their
confidence on commitment of the government towards them. The third
aims at institutionalizing the mutually beneficial relationship among EBs
and Bangladesh through concrete measures.

Ce rapport est le premier résultat des activités de l’Observatoire de la
Communauté marocaine à l’étranger. Structure d’études et d’analyses
appliquées, le projet de l’Observatoire est le fruit du partenariat entre la
Fondation Hassan II pour les Marocains Résidant à l’Etranger et l’Organisation
internationale pour les migrations (OIM), avec une coopération financière
du Gouvernement des Pays-Bas.
A travers une démarche synthétique ce rapport analyse les nouvelles
tendances à la fois qualitatives et quantitatives liées aux Marocains résidant
en Allemagne, en Belgique, en Espagne, en France, en Italie et aux PaysBas. Des questions d’une grande actualité telles que, la gestion des remises
et leurs impacts, les droits des migrants, ainsi que les processus de leur
intégration sociale et économique, sont abordées sur la base de faits
actualisés et pertinents.
Les thématiques qu’il aborde, ainsi que la méthodologie qu’il adopte font
de ce rapport un excellent outil de travail pour les praticiens de la migration
aux niveaux des centres de recherche, des gouvernements et des ONG, de
même qu’au sein des organisations internationales concernées.
