GDC Africa Group AF2
​This High-Level Consultation Session invites Diaspora Organization leaders to share insights into the challenges and needs of diasporas in overcoming language barriers and lack of proper education in order to settle or grow up in the countries of residence. It also explores the usefulness of language learning for diasporas to continue to affiliate with their countries of origin.
AF3
GDC Africa Group AF3
This High-Level Consultation Session invites Diaspora Organization leaders to share experiences in the challenges and needs of diasporas when facing issues on Gender Equality, Reduced Inequalities, and Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions according UN Sustainable Development Goals 5, 10 and 16. It also aims to gather examples of Diaspora Organizations that created positive impact while managing acceptability of the society and culture.
AF4
GDC Africa Group AF4
This High-Level Consultation Session invites Diaspora Organization leaders to share insights into the good practices, challenges and needs of Diaspora Organizations when they support diasporas to access decent work and economic growth. While diasporas contribute to the a variety of industries, innovation, development Infrastructure in both countries of residence and origin, Diaspora Organizations play a key role in facilitating them to create greater impact at a local, national and global levels. Together through work and economic growth, diasporas also help develop sustainable cities and communities. All these would not be possible without the year long support of Diaspora Organizations at the forefront.
GDC Africa Group AF5
This High-Level Consultation Session invites Diaspora Organization leaders to address the challenges and needs of diasporas in vulnerable conditions due to climate change and energy issues. These also link to a wider area involving responsible production and consumption where experienced diasporas can promote together in a diaspora community as a whole. Affected diasporas are both stakeholders and advocates for all these. Diaspora Organizations play an important role in facilitating and support vulnerable diasporas in all possible way.
