IOM spearheads diaspora and development initiatives across the world by partnering with governments to implement critical diaspora engagement policies and programming. 

“Look Forward Give Back” showcases an innovative IOM project in Madagascar that provides diaspora youth with the opportunity and the tools to partner with local communities in their countries of origin and work together to drive development forward.
 
With your help, IOM can continue to support diaspora engagement initiatives globally and provide more diaspora youth with the opportunity to participate in similar programmes.
