Ethiopiandiaspora.info is a website dedicated to provide timely, relevant and accurate information, to the Ethiopian community abroad. This website has been created with funding from the Italian Government. The information on the website, which will regularly be updated, can be used as an information centre, a traveller’s guide and a directory for Ethiopians and friends of Ethiopia. The main sections of the site are described as follows:

The “Guide To…” section guides Ethiopians abroad through the steps needed to invest, establish a business, resettle and to find a job in Ethiopia. A directory of government offices, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and private sectors directly or indirectly involved in the development issues can also be found in this section.

The “Questionnaire” page asks you to fill out a questionnaire for the purpose of establishing a national database of Ethiopians living abroad. While safeguarding the confidentiality of the individual, the database will be used to assess the skills, financial and human resources available and will eventually be used to match the needs of the country.

The “FAQ” page is where frequently asked questions with their corresponding answers will be posted. The questions will partly come from the “Feedback” section of this website where visitors will be able to communicate their comments, suggestions and questions.

Contact information for the different parties involved in the creation of this website can be found on the “Contact Us” page.

Lastly, there is a section on IOM Addis Ababa and it's various activities.

We hope you will find the information provided helpful. Please note that this site is a work-in-progress and feel free to communicate your ideas on how it can be improved.
