Diasporas are development actors with economic, social, cultural and human capital. They contribute to their countries of origin and destination through transnational links and initiatives. Nevertheless, there are many gaps in data on the size and profile of diaspora communities as well as their contributions. The aim of this session was to present the two innovative methodologies developed by IOM to contribute to a better understanding and systematization of diasporas’ capital and potential for development: The IOM Diaspora Mapping Toolkit and Contributions and Counting.

The webinar presented data initiatives which demonstrate the different ways of using existing data collection systems and the conduct of a special survey during the pandemic to know the conditions of migrants, and to inform policies and programs aimed at supporting and enabling migrants. The presentations will discuss the background of these data initiatives, information and insights about migrants and their families, potentials for further analysis, and proposals for improving and strengthening these data systems.
