Highlights

The MENA integration team at the World Bank is reaching out to MENA citizens living abroad to get their views of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) citizens living abroad on how they would like to contribute to the economic development of their country of origin. The findings from this survey will provide a better understanding of the MENA diaspora contributions to their countries of origin for the purposes of informing the World Bank, development partners, and governments on policies and programs that can enhance the development benefits of migration and diaspora.

Many countries have seen the development of some sectors thanks to the return of their diaspora to home countries or strong links between diaspora and professionals in home countries (e.g. India, Chile, Ireland, etc.). Despite a number of publications on the role of diaspora in several countries and case studies, very little is known on the role of the diaspora in MENA countries.

The survey questionnaire is structured around six main sections, following the outline below. Please complete all the questions to provide us with a comprehensive picture.

Section I. General Information
Section II. General Engagement of MENA citizens living abroad
Section III. Investment Opportunities
Section IV. Trade Opportunities
Section V. Skills Transfers
Section VI. Role of the Government and Development Institutions
