Harnessing the Potential of Diaspora Communities in Peace Processes

Diaspora communities can play multiple roles in their country of residence as well as their country of origin. In conflict situations, activities of diaspora groups and organisations can varyingly contribute towards peace-building processes or perpetuate conflict.

At this year’s Berlin Summer Dialogue, we will examine how diaspora organisations influence peace processes and identify concrete actions that German development cooperation should take to strengthen the impact of diaspora engagement for peace.
