They bring home significant remittances and skills from destination countries, providing significant benefits to home countries and as useful source of technological transfer, and innovative ideas for national development. Migrants also acquire financial resources for sole and joint investment to improve lives, make financial returns, or both. Despite their increasing importance, diaspora policies still receive less consideration than immigration policies. Remittances are a vital tool for development and have significant implications for economic growth through the increase of consumption, investment, and social spending (education, health, social security…). Remittances inflows have increased significantly in recent years and have become the main financial external inflow in African countries, surpassing other inflows that traditionally play an important role in these countries, such as official development assistance (ODA) and foreign direct investment (FDI). In 2025, formal remittances to Africa reached historic levels surpassing US$100 billion, driven by policy reforms and strong diaspora engagement with Egypt ranking 1st and receiving the most important share of remittances ($41.5 billion). However, the positive contribution of international migrants, remittances in particular, is overlooked. And while countries have made some progress on capitalizing on migrants' contribution to development, in African countries these efforts continue to be a missed opportunity. Understanding migrants' positive contribution to their receiving countries and designing policies and tools that protect and empower them is key for maximizing the socioeconomic benefits of migration. Knowing the importance of remittances to economic development and to facilitate evidence-based policies and their implementation, the governments, the private sector, and the NGOs need clear tools, framework and policies that help to better optimize the contribution of Diasporas in the development of their countries of origin. In this context, ECA is implementing a programme on "Strengthening the migration-development nexus in Africa » from 2024 to 2027. The programme supports six African Member States with important diaspora, significant remittance inflows and proactive efforts from the government to leverage diaspora contribution for development and channel remittances to productive investments. The program’s objective is to strengthen the capacities of selected countries to integrate diaspora’ contribution into national development strategies/plans/programmes as alternative source to finance development and to channel remittances to productive investment by developing the practical/adequate institutional, regulatory and financial framework. Scope and tasks of work Under the direct supervision of the Chief of the Subregional Initiatives Section and the Economic Affairs Officer and the overall supervision of the Director of the North Africa Regional Office, the expert will provide technical support and advisory services to the Ministry of Finance and stakeholders in Egypt to develop the adequate framework to better leverage the diasporas’ contribution to development in Egypt.

This assessment will help to identify gaps and challenges to build/develop an effective framework to better optimize the contribution of diasporas into development. In addition, a review of Egypt`s investment environment to attract remittances and diaspora savings will be done. This will help to identify challenges and opportunities for investment by Diaspora. Prepare a country situation analysis report based on the results of the assessment. - Develop and propose an effective regulatory and institutional framework based on the country’s context and international experiences with policy reforms and strategic tools/instruments, that are tailored to the needs of Diaspora to channel remittances to investments in Egypt. - Elaborate a detailed roadmap to establish the identified framework, strategic tools/instruments and propose a clear action plan to better leverage diasporas’ investments and contribution to development (actions/ reforms/policies with timeframe, Monitoring &amp; Evaluation matrix and coordination structure). - Take part in national, regional and subregional discussions and workshops related to the programme, and act as a resource person in the work on diasporas’ economic contribution in Egypt. - Develop and implement two (2) workshops: (1) at mid-term to discuss the preliminary results and (2) the final workshop to present the suggested effective framework including policy reforms and the roadmap.
