The Government of Grenada, in a current effort to establish a “mutually beneficial relationship” between the homeland and nationals in the Diaspora, is about to formally launch a website and online survey called “Mapping Grenada’s Diaspora” as part of the Grenadian Diaspora for Development (GD4D) project funded by the International Development Fund and administered by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) of the United Nations.

“This survey is not a simple academic exercise,” said Hon. Peter David, Grenada’s Foreign Minister with responsibility for Diaspora Affairs. “The survey is an extremely critical component of a national planning process in ensuring that resources are efficiently and effectively allocated to meet healthcare, educational and other social and economic needs of the people of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.” And further, “Grenadians in the Diaspora are partners in our development and as such, leveraging their skills, talents, and resources will be crucial for the realisation of Vision 2035.”

Minister David appealed to Grenadians globally to participate in the survey, which is designed to record the skills and resources that are available in the Diaspora, as well as to determine the interest among overseas-based Grenadians to further support the nation’s development.

The project also involves Diaspora policy consultations with Grenadians residing in the Diaspora. So far, consultations with Minister David and representatives of IOM have been held in London, England, and in Washington, USA. Other stops will include Canada and New York.

The official launch of the online survey, as well as the formal unveiling of a website dedicated to the project, will take place on 5 November at the Ministry of Works Conference Room.

At the completion of the IOM-sponsored project, the information garnered will form the basis for the drafting of legislation to establish a formal Grenada Diaspora Policy that will have parliamentary approval.

    In discussing this Experiment on mapping the Diaspora; I would not allow my family to participate in this questionable motives Caper.

    Minister Peter David has too much “ Red Commie Blood “ running through his veins, that he is tilting Grenada in that path; to even allow him and his cronies to start to Track Diaspora.

    This is “ Big Brother “ mentality & we have emailed family, friends and relatives; TO BE CAREFUL.

    Mapping Grenada’s Diaspora ???????

    This raises many Red Flags for us. Oh, unless it is to mail to all of us Royalty Checks from all of the Oil that this Pedro along with the PM announced on the evening before the last Elections !!!!!!!
    Who is getting the millions ?? Or: was that all a Lie & a Hoax to cheat and to Win the Elections … BY FRAUD !!!!!!!

    Our family was referred to Pedro in an issue concerning people wronged: he chose to Ignore us and them. That is an ultimate slap in our face. The Corruption continues to take Center Stage. Pedro is yet to Right them Wrongs; BUT WE WILL.

    This here seems like another slippery slope by this Peter Charles David, of course with Chester Humphrey; both sitting on Mitchell’s lap like Lap Dogs.

    This surely is Not to be Trusted !!!!!!!

    While this may soundvgood with good intentions, it is clear the objective is tap in source of revenue. In that case a Grenadian is a Grenadian and therefore should be allowed to vote and have a say.
