Harnessing the power of the African Diaspora with Almaz Negash
African development hinges on harnessing the potential of Africans living abroad, and those migrating within the continent. In the latest episode of Voices of Africa, Marcus Courage interviews Almaz Negash, Founder and CEO of the African Diaspora Network, about her vision for the contemporary diaspora’s role in Africa’s sustainable development. Negash highlights the potential of going beyond remittances, shifting to strategic investments that extend beyond traditional aid.
“According to the World bank, the African diaspora remitted $100 billion to the continent in 2023, which is incredible. This is three times more than what Africa gets from development aid or foreign direct investments.” – Almaz Negash
