MPI Study: Voice After Exit - Diaspora Advocacy

This report, undertaken by the Migration Policy Institute through a USAID grant, discusses how today’s diaspora organizations, communities and individuals increasingly are seeking to influence government, media, private sectors and other prominent groups in their countries of origin and of settlement. This report provides an overview of diaspora advocacy by looking at five issues: who participates in diaspora advocacy, who or what are the “targets” in these efforts, what means are used to advance these causes, what are the issues on which they focus and the effectiveness of the efforts.
