The Afghan Diaspora and Knowledge Transfer: Katie Kuschminder


On 13 March Katie Kuschminder presented to the Dutch Government the first policy report for the IS Academy: Migration and Development Project. Her report looked into the temporary return of highly skilled migrants to Afghanistan and their role in training, employment and ‘capacity building’. In our latest podcast we ask her exactly what jobs they are doing, the conditions they are working under, and how they might improve education, employment, and the role of women in this fragile state. http://www.merit.unu.edu/permalink.php?id=702
