  13. Communication • Outreach • Capacity • Priority • Collaborations • Politics • Government policies in countries they come from • Funding • Lack of support Diaspora Challenges

  14. Migration and Development Links • Plenty of room for engagement • Small community in Wales meaning easier engagement • SSAP/Health Link Network collaboration • Mapping of needs and capacity of diaspora health workers? • Office of National Statistics assist with understanding of diaspora health workers in Wales. The lack of data is a significant problem, especially for measuring diasporas abroad, mainly due to registration and definition issues. The key question is how best to register citizens and nationals abroad, temporary and permanent migrants • Policy Collaboration between Sending and Receiving Countries • Targeted events to diaspora health workers. • Feeding into the international strategy Diaspora opportunities 4
