Nigeria diaspora study dissemination dialogue

Nigeria’s diaspora, estimated at up to 15 million people worldwide, plays a crucial role in driving growth and progress in the country. As Nigeria emerges from recession, civic and business leaders are looking to leverage the diaspora and mobilise development resources. In July 2017, Policy Development Facility Phase II commissioned Dalberg Advisors to conduct a study to support ongoing efforts to spur development through diaspora engagement. The study aimed to understand the potential to engage with the diaspora in order to generate productive investments and resources for development in Nigeria. This event report summarises a dialogue held to disseminate the study findings.
