Its aim is to ensure that Diaspora issues are seriously considered in the country’s development endeavors.

The stated objectives of the General Directorate are to:
** Serve as a liaison between different federal Ministries, regional Diaspora coordinating offices and Ethiopians in Diaspora;
** Encourage the active involvement of the Ethiopians in Diaspora in socio-economic activities of the country;
** Mobilize the Ethiopian community abroad for a sustained and organized image building.

The Government of Ethiopia has been taking different measures to ensure that the knowledge, experience, skills, and financial resources of Ethiopians in the Diaspora contribute to national growth. The potential role of the Ethiopian Diaspora in development efforts has, in recent years, won unprecedented recognition from the Ethiopian government. This interest in the actual and potential contribution of the Diaspora to development in Ethiopia is manifest in the explicity reference to the role of the Diaspora in the Country’s poverty reduction program, including the recognition of the positive impact that remittances have on the country’s service account and in facilitating mechanisms to encourage direct investment from Ethiopians abroad.

In order to make the meaningful contribution to the development of the country, the Ethiopian Diaspora needs to overcome the major challenges of lack of accurate and up to date information about the country’s development policies and programs. The main purpose of this “Basic Information for Ethiopians in the Diaspora” is to help fill the information gap and make more information available in one book to enable them channel their initiatives and efforts.
