Lesotho�s National Diaspora Policy, published in July 2021, outlines governmental strategies to harness the skills and investment potential of Basotho living abroad. Developed with support from IOM under a multi-stakeholder consultative framework, the policy focuses on encouraging diaspora engagement through outreach forums, encouraging remittances, reintegration of returning migrants, and participation in national development.
