The PNB Secretariat invites you to attend a roundtable discussion on Harnessing the Power of the Diaspora featuring conversations on:
-Effective Policy Engagement
-Technology Innovation in Countries of Origin -Maximizing Remittances Impact
On the margins of the 2013 Global Diaspora Forum, the Partners for a New Beginning Secretariat at the Aspen Institute will host a roundtable discussion on ways that the diaspora can advance economic opportunity in the countries of origin. The event will bring together diaspora members from PNB countries (Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, the Palestinian Territories, Turkey, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and
Mauritania) to discuss best practices on harnessing the power of the diaspora, and will aim to conclude with recommendations that inform a strategy for diaspora engagement. This event is part of the un-conference day of the Global Diaspora Forum.
The 3-hour event will include a panel discussion that will focus on effective policy engagement strategies for diaspora organizations and will be followed by two breakout sessions. The first breakout will explore the role of the diaspora in spurring technological innovation in local communities; the second on ways the diaspora can utilize remittances to maximize economic growth.
