“Analysis of diaspora needs and identification of problems” is the latest analytical report brought to you by our cooperating partner GERMIN.

The study report draws from an exhaustive examination of current research, analysis, official data sourced from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora (MPJD), minutes from the Parliamentary Committee for Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, and interviews conducted with diaspora members.

Investments and economic potential: The financial contributions of the diaspora come mainly through remittances. However, there is a need for better information and guidance, political and legal stability and the rule of law to encourage more significant investment.

Education and preservation of culture: The report highlights the lack of institutionalized supplementary education in the Albanian language and the need for cultural centers to preserve the connection of the diaspora with their heritage.

The right to vote: Ensuring the diaspora’s right to vote remains a challenge due to legal and administrative barriers.

Comparative analysis: The study compares Kosovo diaspora engagement strategies with successful models from Moldova, Croatia and Israel.
