Over the course of the MEET Africa 2 program's activities, numerous initiatives and issues have been identified and catalogued, providing a wealth of shared expertise that deserves to be highlighted and made available to all players wishing to develop tools and policies in favor of the integration of its diaspora.
In fact, diaspora entrepreneurs are not lacking in specific features, whether it's taking up the challenge of doing business in the dual Euro-African space, satisfying specific human resource needs, building up a network of contacts in a country they are sometimes unfamiliar with, or facing numerous technical, financial, psychological and cultural obstacles.
As an extension of the activities carried out to strengthen local ecosystems supporting diaspora entrepreneurship in the 5 partner countries of the program, MEET Africa 2 has designed a white paper entitled "How to mobilize and develop diaspora entrepreneurship", in partnership with Cyril Rollinde, cabinet Arandi and Sophie Daguin - L'oeil à la page.
This White Paper is intended for all players in French-speaking African ecosystems involved in the development of diaspora entrepreneurship in their countries. As an advocacy tool, it suggests ways in which they can work together to project, co-construct and reinforce the conditions for recognized, encouraged and supported diaspora entrepreneurship.
Organized in the form of 12 technical fact sheets, this document offers feedback from the MEET Africa 2 program, as well as numerous examples of inspiring practices from different countries and ideas for developing and supporting the mobilization of diaspora entrepreneurship.
