In recognition of the important role played by the diaspora to foster economic growth and its potential to enhance the resilience of fragile communities, DDN Global have launched the (…..) initiative. This major partnership seeks to leverage the contributions of migrant workers and encourage their engagement in sustained economic development through investment in agriculture, particularly in rural areas.
The (…) initiative works to foster job growth in local communities, contribute to poverty reduction and curtail the need to migrate by:
• Encouraging the global entrepreneurship to invest in sustainable agricultural projects with real potential to impact the lives of poor rural people.
• Enabling diaspora investors, diaspora organizations and actors on the ground to build the capacity necessary to undertake cross-border investments and gain access to markets for traditional products.
• Stimulating agricultural production and reducing import dependency to enhance food security.
