“Giving back and promoting development: CD4D2 works with diaspora to support the development of their countries of origin. Diaspora are migrants or descendants of migrants who still share a connection with their country of origin. CD4D allows for diaspora to help the development of their home country through the transfer of knowledge and expertise. This is in line with IOM’s global work of maximizing the positive relationship between migration and development. Diaspora make unique contributions through their expertise, cultural affinity, and strong commitment to give back to their country of origin. CD4D2 is currently active in four focus countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria and Somalia.”
