AMI conducted a diaspora study for the USAID/Washington Bureau for Africa. The study sought to better understand the capacity and interest of the African diaspora to engage in and impact the current and future development agenda of sub-Saharan Africa through trade, investment, mentorship and knowledge transfer, advocacy, and volunteerism. The study qualified existing databases and identified additional African diaspora organizations, leaders, and other implementing vehicles and organizations that are deemed to be of interest to the diaspora and through which the diaspora could participate in the economic growth and development of sub-Saharan Africa.
