  9. Role of the DFZ • Role of the Diaspora in this work will be predicated on the role of DFZ i.e. the facilitation of collaboration of various diaspora interventions/initiatives through information dissemination • DFZ will facilitate resource mobilization for the identified gaps through the various diaspora networks and with individuals – both financial and human capital • At the national level, DFZ will become the institutional face/platform for policy dialogue between govt, civil society and the diaspora • Facilitate strategic thinking and generation of knowledge around social development, social services reconstruction etc
