CHECKLIST: ENGAGING DIASPORAS FOR EMERGENCY ACTION AND COORDINATION A practical tool for diaspora organisations and actors in the humanitarian system designed to improve operational and strategic communication and coordination.

This Checklist is a product of Phase I of the Diaspora Emergency Action and Coordination (DEMAC) project. The first
phase of the DEMAC project was an ambitious and wide-ranging exercise focusing on Sierra Leonean, Somali and Syrian
diaspora-based relief organisations and initiatives based in the UK, Denmark and Germany. It was implemented over
nineteen months to improve diaspora emergency response capacity and coordination with the ‘formal’ humanitarian
system to improve conditions for people of concern in humanitarian crises.
