This project seeks to complement the Government of Benin's efforts in capitalizing on their diaspora resources at both intellectual and economic levels. The actions proposed are as follows:
- Establishment of a database, or a directory, of interested nationals abroad compiled through embassies in selected countries, migrant associations and a website on the model of the one developed for MIDA Ethiopia.
- A compilation of the priority areas, job and investment offers identified in the country.
- An information service to migrants, again through the website, complemented by information leaflets and networking.
The project outputs will be used to develop a more comprehensive MIDA programme to be included in the Government of Benin's national development plan.
