Summary:

The Malian government implements Diaspora fora to connect and build confidence with its diaspora. The first Diaspora Forum in 2003 was the opportunity to discuss three topics:

the organisation and the management of the diaspora (strenghten the partnership with the High Council of the Malian diaspora, ameliorate the services in the embassies and the social protection, etc),
investments favouring development (facilitate remittances and access to property market,etc),
involvement of the diaspora in Malian political, economical and cultural life.
