Diafrikinvest's ambition is to accelerate in 36 months the mobilization of diasporas for the development of Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia. This will strengthen the long-term commitment of the diasporas entrepreneurs to the creation of initiatives with high local impact, whether by supporting entrepreneurship, strengthening local development initiatives or investment . In order to support an optimal and rational engagement of the diaspora in favor of economic and social change in African countries, connection strategies will be developed between countries of origin and residence.
