Abstract
Abstract Objective 19 of the GCM is the focus of this chapter. This Objective institutionalizes a model of migration governance that seeks to harness diasporas as central agents for the migration–development nexus, contributing to development in their countries of origin and host countries. The chapter traces the evolution of this approach, from the 2013 IOM Diaspora Ministerial Conference to its endorsement in the New York Declaration and eventual embodiment in the GCM. It then explores how Objective 19 reinforces this paradigm by promoting diaspora engagement through investment, skills transfer, and philanthropy. While this framework offers recognition and potential leverage for diaspora communities, it primarily instrumentalizes their role to serve state-led development objectives rather than prioritizing their own needs or rights. The analysis shows that Objective 19 reflects a narrow, economically focused understanding of diaspora contributions, potentially overlooking broader social, cultural, and political dimensions and perpetuating a one-sided narrative of migration for development.
