"Global Diaspora, Local Impact" highlights the vital role of diaspora communities in improving lives in their home countries through remittances, investments, and philanthropy. The 4th Global Diaspora Week will focus on strengthening the ecosystem DOs need to localize development and humanitarian efforts. By advancing an inclusive ecosystem, GDWeek will empower DOs to innovate, maximize impact, and better serve their communities ​for the future.​

From 21 to 27 January 2025, the 4th Global Diaspora Week will comprise of a weeklong of activities with its impact summarized at the Global Diaspora Assembly on the 27th. Through sharing best practices and taking time to recognize the diasporas for their efforts in humanitarian and sustainable development, we will be exploring some of the best diaspora coordination practices from panels of leading DOs at the Annual Humanitarian Meeting and Global Diaspora Assembly.
 

The upcoming GDWeek will go beyond being event-oriented to welcome all ranges of Side Activities that support diasporas, including three major capacity building side activities by our key partners as part of the support to the Global Diaspora Academy (GDAcademy). A major highlight will be the launch of the “GDTree”, a symbol of hope and collaboration at the GDAssembly. This tree, which will be grown together as one global diaspora community for all with its roots nurtured with shared values of unity, resilience and compassion and its growth watered with innovation, collaboration and exchange of ideas.
 

 The 4th Global Diaspora Week will begin our journey to architect the global ecosystem that will enable the coordination of the global diaspora organization (DO) sector for sustainable development and humanitarian assistance.
