Global Community of Practice (G-CoP) Policy Dialogue on:
“Development Without Borders: Leveraging the African Diaspora for Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development in Africa”
The dialogue brings together the African Diaspora and people of African descent globally to create an informed and empowered voice to shape Africa’s development and, in the medium to long term, create platforms, instruments and vehicles for the African Diaspora’s proactive and strategic engagements in Africa’s development through productive investments, innovative financing, trade promotion, knowledge and capacity strengthening, research and innovations, technology sharing and brain circulation.
