16 April 2026. @ 16:30 Funding the future: Inside sustainable diaspora organisations
  • Diaspora organisations are key actors in global development, connecting financial, human and social capital across countries of residence and heritage. Yet despite their essential role, many continue to navigate a challenging funding landscape marked by short-term financing, limited structural support and heavy reliance on voluntary contributions.
  • To better understand these dynamics, EUDiF commissioned the study “Business models of diaspora organisations”, prepared by the diaspora-led Innogence Consulting with contributions from Maria Regina Tongson and Michelle Amoakoh. The research identifies seven business models and sheds light on the creativity, constraints and financial logics shaping diaspora organisational life today.
