GOB Doing The Diaspora
posted (July 13, 2017)
There's good news for all Belizeans living "da foreign": The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched a Diaspora of Belize website. diasporaofbelize.org seems like just another government website to us, but a press release says, quote, "this new site is to facilitate the gathering of information on skills, experiences, and interests of Belizeans living in and legitimate Belizean organizations operating out of the Belizean Diaspora, and to engage them in contributing to the development of Belize primarily through investment and repatriation of skills."

The site also offers information on investment and development initiatives in Belize.

A group called Belizean Citizens Abroad has been lobbying government and the opposition for the right to vote - so this may be a first step in engaging them at the official level.
