This project will carry out an assessment study identifying the development conditions and priorities in Guinea-Bissau, as well the human, social and financial capital and overall development potential of Guinea-Bissau diaspora members and organizations in relevant countries, namely Portugal and France. The present research will also draw on existing studies, in particular on the methodological approach and the available data gathered throughout the “Architechts of a Lusophone transnational space” research study.
The study will contribute to strengthening the ties of the Guinea-Bissau diaspora communities in Portugal and France with its origin country as well as offering concrete orientations and recommendations for future projects and policy development.
