Policy Seminar Participation of the Diaspora in the Joint Africa-EU Strategic Partnership, 1-2 October 2009, Brussels, Belgium

On 1-2 October 2009, the African Diaspora Policy Centre (ADPC) will host a Policy Seminar, co-organised by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) and supported by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the European Commission
The Seminar is the second phase of a programme initiated earlier this year by the ADPC, to further strengthen the Africa-EU Strategic Partnership by mobilising the significant potential of the African diaspora living in Europe to play a valuable bridge-building role in its implementation.
The objective of this Seminar is to formulate an African diaspora position on the Joint Africa – EU Strategic Partnership. This ‘diaspora position’ will be presented in the form of a Policy Report to the Swedish government (during its EU presidency) and at the Civil Society Days of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) to be held in Athens on 2 – 3 November 2009.
