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.

However, while enthusiasm for diaspora engagement exists on the part of African policy makers, very few have the capacity to actually develop sound policy frameworks that are capable of generating developing impact. It has been purported, for instance, that many existing diaspora programs are “living dead”; ie, they are not complete failures and generate enough interest to maintain their funding, yet their development impact is very limited[1].

The African Diaspora Scorecard will therefore respond to a clear need to enhance the technical capacity of Member states and policymakers on the continent to understand their level of progress in diaspora engagement relative to other member states of the African Union. More specifically the score card will:

· Support member States to accelerate the devising and implementation of diaspora strategies as spelled out in the Diaspora declaration and Agenda 2063;

· Provide member States with an easy and quick instrument to assess their progress in effectively harnessing the power of the diaspora for development.

· Take comprehensive steps and actions towards the identifying of capacity gaps and the building of capacities of MS.

The primary purpose of the consultancy service is to produce and publish a diaspora scorecard that will be adopted by the diaspora focal points of AU member states, then presented to the AU heads of state and governments summit in June 2019.
