A description about the Engagement Initiative

The Kingdom of Eswatini in taking full cognizance of the valuable potential of its diaspora in contributing to the development of the country, partnered, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to engage the Diaspora.

The overall objective of this project is to facilitate, enable and encourage meaningful communication between the Kingdom of Eswatini and the Emaswati diaspora, with the aim of promoting diaspora engagement in the national development agenda. This will be achieved by promoting two keys approaches: (1) through building the capacity of the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini to enhance their engagement with the diaspora; and (2) through promoting regular communication between the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini and the Emaswati diaspora to increase the diaspora community interest to participate actively in the social and economic development of the country
