• Translation and interpretation

  The translation of the manual will contribute to the better understanding on how to measure the economic contributions made by diasporas beyond financial remittances for Russian speaking authorities and stakeholders. These economic contributions include investment, trade, tourism and philanthropy. The manual provides users with a structured approach to understanding existing data collection frameworks and how they can be modified to isolate foreign capital inflows made by diasporas. Data generated from this exercise can be utilized to make more precise policy interventions and develop more effective policies and programmes to engage the diaspora as developmental actors.
