Title: Understanding Ethiopian diaspora engagement policy
Abstract: Ethiopia is one of the largest and poorest countries in Sub-Saharan 
	 Africa. Emigration from Ethiopia began in the mid-1970s with large 
	 refugee flows and continues today with skilled migrants seeking 
	 opportunities outside of the country. Since 2002, the Government of 
	 Ethiopia has become one of the most active countries in Sub-Saharan 
	 Africa in engaging the diaspora. This paper offers a review of the 
	 institutional and policy arrang1ements developed in Ethiopia in the last 
	 decade and the effect of these institutions and policy on the diaspora 
	 and debates in Ethiopia.
