The workshop organizers - a joint effort of the WBG, GIZ, UK AID, CMI, IOM, CIIP and other partners - conducted a process of substantial consultation with the Syrian diaspora business community with the aim of strengthening engagement and identifying the key impediments and the valuable role the Syrian community can play.

Participants
This workshop is an interactive and learning workshop designed to facilitate networking, knowledge exchange and engagement. Participants include key development players with active and potential engagements in initiatives geared towards alleviating the Syrian crisis. Participants from the Syrian community include diaspora champions, business owners and skilled professionals globally amongst others.

Learning Outcomes

The forum will identify opportunities and constraints and develop a forward action plan for consideration by all concerned.
