Diaspora Humanitarian Exchange Group
About DHEG
Diaspora humanitarians are typically not included in national and local coordination
mechanisms, nor have the platform or opportunities to coordinate or collaborate
between diaspora groups. A space that is a critical gap impeding more impactful
humanitarian action.
The Diaspora Humanitarian Exchange Group aims to gather diaspora organisations
engaged in humanitarian activities to encourage more intra-diaspora and inter
diaspora coordination and collaborations, connecting them to empower their voices.
By bringing together diverse skills and knowledge, the conversation about and within
diaspora communities can be a positive one.
The Diaspora Humanitarian Exchange Group is a pilot initiative implemented by
Shabaka in partnership with the British Red Cross, as part of the Diaspora
Humanitarian Partnership Programme, funded by USAID BHA.
Main group objectives
Provide a safe space for diaspora
humanitarian responders to share
information and skills from field experiences
and locally led initiatives
Facilitate inter diaspora initiatives as well as
partnership opportunities between diaspora
communities and other organisations, to
better prepare for, respond to, and recover
from a crisis
