Facilitating diaspora engagement is not a new area in policies or programmes. However, the modern era of digitalization creates new opportunities and modalities for a more efficient and effective diaspora engagement, enabling larger scope and impact, easier scaling up and stronger sustainability. IOM has started embracing new opportunities created by the 4th Industrial Revolution by piloting novel forms of collaboration with diaspora communities at national, regional and global levels, as well as collecting relevant data and monitoring impact. One such unique initiative aimed at global level knowledge consolidation and collaboration is an online platform, IDiaspora.org, that was officially launched at IOM`s Council side event in October 2018. IDiaspora.org is a community driven digital venue, facilitated by IOM and an external Advisory Board, that aims at consolidating IOM`s and other partners` gender sensitive diaspora engagement experiences by providing easy access to global connections, content, commentary, business and educational opportunities on diaspora engagement. By providing support to the development of the IDiaspora.org platform, the proposed project will contribute to the empowerment of transnational communities of all genders, governments and development cooperation partners in becoming more effective in their partnership on development in the era of digitalization.
