GERD Infographic: Lessons for Diaspora Investment Readiness

Ethiopia’s Experience, Practical Lessons for Other Countries

How do countries prepare for diaspora participation in infrastructure finance?

This DCI infographic draws on Ethiopia’s Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam to highlight diaspora participation through financing, expertise, advocacy, and international engagement. The visual connects these experiences with five priorities for improving diaspora investment readiness.

Five Priorities for Readiness

Clear rules, accessible institutions, credible projects, trust and accountability, and ongoing investor support.

These priorities are DCI recommendations informed by the case study. They provide a starting point for governments, diaspora organizations, and development partners assessing institutional preparation.
