Our Index Report utilizes qualitative metrics and indicators to assess a country or regional bloc’s engagement of its diaspora. Our team, consisting of researchers, partners, and data scientists, utilizes multiple tools to gather comprehensive data points. In instances where data is limited or unavailable, we may also make educated assumptions. Our information is valuable for policy makers, multilateral organizations, donors, and philanthropies in making informed decisions on involving professional diaspora to support a country’s economic and sustainable development goals.
We analyze:
- Publicly available policy documents
- Conduct interviews with embassies and consulates
- Input from academic partners, policy researchers, and diaspora experts
Our aim is not to create a rigid ranking, but to highlight trends, spotlight leadership, and encourage collaboration between governments, regional bodies, and the African diaspora.
We anticipate that our metrics and indicators will be subject to modification over time, driven by demographic, geopolitical, economic, industry, and technological shifts.
