| description |
The Caribbean region is unique for many
reasons. Perhaps most striking among these is the
demographic fact that for almost every resident in the
region there is an individual living in the diaspora abroad.
This near one-to-one ratio of nationals to diaspora members
presents a tremendous opportunity for cross-border
engagement among a people who share common cultures and
histories. This report presents findings from the
assessment, including both the quantitative data from the
surveys and the qualitative data from focus groups and
individual interviews. It aims to help all stakeholders,
including policy makers, multilateral financial
institutions, donors, and program managers, among others to
better understand and engage the Caribbean diaspora. The
report also provides material for an open dialogue on new
ways to engage the diaspora for investment purposes.
Although the assessment is focused primarily on the diaspora
members' willingness and ability to invest in and
mentor high-potential growth-oriented enterprises (HGEs), it
also touches on their interest to be involved through other
channels and investment vehicles, such as diaspora bonds,
volunteering, or charitable giving. |
