Strengthening the city's capacities with the diaspora's help

The key impacts and objectives of this mission, to be defined with specific indicators and targets, include: 1. **Economic and Social Development:** Increase the number of young businesses created or supported by the diaspora, improve the quality of and access to health and education services in the targeted areas. 2. **Strengthening Local Capacities:** Carry out concrete infrastructure improvement projects (e.g., green spaces, sports facilities) and transfer skills to local stakeholders in management (natural resources, sustainable tourism). 3. **Territorial Attractiveness:** Increase the city's visibility and appeal for tourism and investment, and develop innovative agro-pastoral value chains. 4. **Governance and Participation:** Establish sustainable mechanisms for consulting and integrating the diaspora and citizens into local development projects.

The diaspora is invited to actively contribute through: * **Investment:** Project financing, venture capital for youth entrepreneurship, sponsorship for social infrastructure. * **Skills and Expertise:** Know-how transfer, mentoring, training, technical advice in the targeted areas (environment, health, education, etc.). * **Networks and Influence:** Mobilizing international partnerships, promoting the city, facilitating access to economic and institutional opportunities.

This mission requires a medium- to long-term commitment (e.g., 2 to 5 years) to ensure lasting impacts. Participants will need to integrate into a structured collaboration framework with local authorities. Active participation in the planning and monitoring phases of the projects is expected. Resources (financial, material, human) will be mobilized collaboratively between the diaspora and the city.
