Diaspora Conference: What a successful event!

It was a bit of work, but felt like it was worth it. We wanted to go beyond remittances and discuss concrete initiatives to harness diaspora resources. Thanks to all the presenters and participants for making the conference a success. We had nearly 200 submissions, from which in the end only 35 presentations were selected. The discussion was rich. Take a look at the presentations here. 
 
Let me briefly highlight in the attached video some of the ideas and next steps coming from the exchanges during this conference.
