Diasporas are key partners in enhancing regular migration pathways, providing responsiveness, support, and influence. Their contributions, often ad hoc, need greater institutional support at national and international levels to reach full potential. Recognizing diasporas as genuine partners allows them to negotiate, advocate, and deliver solutions for their communities throughout the migration cycle. The Dublin Declaration, from the Global Diaspora Summit, marks a pivotal moment for IOM and Member States, mobilizing the diverse cultural, economic, social, and human capital of diasporas. It establishes a comprehensive framework to integrate all levels of government and society, enhancing migration pathways and addressing the politicization of migration. The launch of the Global Diaspora
Policy Alliance (GDPA) further supports this, fostering an ecosystem for collaboration among Member States, diasporas, and stakeholders.
