Diaspora Philanthropy

Diaspora philanthropy is the charitable giving by diaspora of money, time, and other resources for public benefit in the country of origin. While remittances play a significant role in Bangladesh’s development, most of it is transferred to individual households as opposed to charity or community development. However, due to a lack of relevant studies, the actual level of diaspora philanthropy occurring is uncertain. To learn more, please see the following resources:
