Diaspora engagement is a strategic priority for the African Union. Indeed, the Constitutive Act of the African Union expressly declares that it shall “invite and encourage the full participation of the African Diaspora as an important part of our continent, in the building of the African Union”.

Leveraging migration and diaspora for development has emerged as an integral component of development theory and policy; and many governments in Africa have consequently created separate ministries and government units specifically to engage their diaspora.

This renewed emphasis on diaspora engagement as an integral part of development policy was the impetus behind the African Union’s decision to hold the first Global African Diaspora Summit in Johannesburg in May 2012. The Action Plan developed from the Diaspora Summit provides the framework for the African Union’s diaspora program.

This project proposes to implement one of the key initiatives agreed by Heads of State and Government of the African Union in the Action Plan of the Global African Diaspora Summit: the African Diaspora Investment Fund (ADIF).

The ADIF directly addresses the Economic Cooperation provisions of the Action Plan; which, inter alia, calls on the African Union Commission to accomplish the following capital mobilization objectives:

1. Use financial instruments focusing on investments to facilitate the mobilization of capital that would strengthen the links between Africa and the Diaspora;

2. Explore the possibility of creating a Development Fund and/or African Diaspora Investment Fund to address the development challenges confronting Africans in the continent and the Diaspora.

The primary purpose of the consultancy service is to establish the design and implementation framework for the African Diaspora Investment Fund in accordance with the Action Plan of the Global African Diaspora Summit.
