Benefiting Member States
Benin
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.
