Migration & Development

This report aims to contribute to the ongoing policy dialogue regarding migration and development from the perspective of the diaspora – a point of view which has not been sufficiently heard. The report attempts to bring out the voices, views, insights, perspectives, practical experiences, aspirations, interests, priorities, challenges and the specific needs of the African diasporas in the Netherlands. This is important, as without narrating the migrant’s part of the story satisfactorily, the knowledge that we now possess on the migration and development field will not be comprehensive enough or of sufficient quality to allow for sound policy formulations. The purpose of the report is to stimulate the active participation of the diasporas in the discussion and in the generation of ideas and policy insights so as to make their critical voices count in discussions related to migration and development matters. The added value of the report is to facilitate the inclusion of the diaspora voices and visions in policy deliberations taking place at the local, national and international level in a more structured and formalized manner.
