In response to the COVID-19 crisis, iDiaspora organized three Global Diaspora Virtual Exchanges to create a collaborative space where diaspora groups from around the world could share their best practices responding to the pandemic. Through these events, diasporas were able to showcase their work and enhance synergies with policymakers, practitioners and stakeholders responding to the pandemic.

This report analyses the best practices of diasporas responding to the COVID-19 crisis in the African, American, Asian, and European regions. These initiatives demonstrate the capacity of diasporas to develop transnational interventions and their ability to respond to emergencies, in particular, with the use of digital platforms and technology.
