In 2021, the UN International Organization for Migration (IOM) has developed a Global Framework to strengthen diaspora’s engagement in humanitarian assistance, through a more streamlined coordination, communication and cooperation between Humanitarian actors and diasporas.

Consultations were carried out. Findings showed that Diaspora Organizations play a key role in implementing the framework for diasporas. It was also proposed that a humanitarian hub as a global focal point can effectively help Diaspora Organizations address and respond to the diasporic challenges and needs.

​

As the facilitator of the global sector of Diaspora Organizations, GDC and IOM are partnering to develop the Global Humanitarian Hub.

​

At this initial phase, we would like to invite all Diaspora Organizations and partners interested in humanitarian assistance to join our first meeting to discuss the way forward.
