Evaluation/Learning Brief #5: Diasporas as development actors

Denmark hosts a considerable number of refugees from all over the world, many of them constituting so-called diaspora communities. In 2010, DRC decided to work with the Somali and Afghan diasporas, two of the largest diaspora-groups in Denmark, seeking to facilitate their engagement in development projects in their countries of origin. This Evaluation and Learning Brief highlights lessons learned from the Danish Refugee Council’s Diaspora Programme, seeking to share experiences that can contribute to future programming.
