The Development Marketplace for African Diaspora (D-MADE) is a competitive grant programme that will allow the World Bank, along with its partners, to work with entrepreneurs on innovative poverty fighting ideas, as well as raise awareness.

Building on the very successful Global Development Marketplace, D-MADE follows a process of consultations with African Diaspora organizations in European countries to generate momentum around innovative ways in mobilizing diaspora support towards their countries of origin.

For the first time, such a Development Marketplace will target Sub-Saharan Africa-wide members of the diaspora living in Europe.

D-MADE is designed to support African Diaspora business entrepreneurs with a social mission by generating employment, business support, training and incomes for the poor and disadvantaged.
