Introduction
The Eritrean Diaspora, spread across Europe, North America, Asia, Australia,
Middle-East and Africa, is an invaluable asset to both the country of origin
and the host country. Equipped with varying competencies, ideas and
expertise acquired at home and abroad, Eritreans of the Diaspora carry with
them a new vision and represent a positive force of change.
As a remedy to the 'Brain Drain' suffered by Eritrea and many other
developing countries, the Eritrean Diaspora can play a crucial role as a
pool for agents and partners for development in their homeland, especially
in critical sectors such as education, health, technology and business.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Eritrea has introduced a
database system aiming at accommodating the desire of Eritreans in the
Diaspora to contribute in the development of their country of origin through
their competencies, expertise and experience: 'DEAIMS' (Department of
Eritreans Abroad Information Management System) strives to identify and
assess the actual profiles and resources of the members of the Eritrean
Diaspora. In brief, the 'DEAIMS' is working hard towards a comprehensive
Diaspora Database System which gathers information, such as full name, date
of birth, place of birth, country of residence, address, educational and
professional background. etc. The 'DEAIMS' questionnaire is attached as
annex for the required use. Click here to download DEAIMS questionnaire (in

Objective of the Database System
Information gathered by DEAIMS is intended to serve as a useful tool for
government offices and private institutions in identifying and recruiting
the available knowledge and socio-professional resources of Eritreans
abroad. The information would help as well, to have more precise data
concerning the number of Eritreans residing abroad. The Ministry will ensure
that this information will be stored and shared in full respect of privacy
and confidentiality.
According to your profile, you might be asked voluntarily or hired to
contribute to the development of your country in key sectors such as:
. Agriculture
. Construction and Infrastructure
. Mining and Energy
. Business and Commerce

Benefits the Database can offer
Once put in the Database, your information will be facilitated by 'DEAIMS'
and shared accordingly with potential stakeholders, such as government
offices and private institutions. The Database will also be instrumental in
identifying the exact number of Eritreans living abroad. Consequently, any
registered Eritrean may be contacted about various project assignments, job
vacancies and entrepreneurial and investment opportunities available in
Eritrea.
Privacy will be protected
Gathered profile and contact information will be stored and shared in a
strictly confidential manner. They will be used only in strict necessity, as
they will be protected under coding numbers. Any registered Eritrean can be
