We provide training with and for diaspora actors and organisations to support more effective humanitarian action. Additionally, Shabaka delivers training and advice to government, international organisations and the private sector on diaspora engagement in humanitarian action, second and subsequent-generation diaspora engagement, and research methodologies in complex emergencies and with hard-to-reach populations.

OUR STAKEHOLDERS

Shabaka aims to amplify diaspora engagement and enhance diaspora impact, especially among second and subsequent generations. Through research and engagement with diasporas and local organisations, we have the knowledge and networks necessary and believe that working with international organisations, governments, and the private sector development and humanitarian interventions have more impact.
