Database
Database and Information Initiative
Overview
NIDO launched a Database Initiative to create a technology platform
and information service to enable the organization to be a stronger
partner in Nigeria’s economic development. The Board of Directors
commissioned a database committee to oversee the planning and development
of this initiative.
The Mission
Provide a sophisticated and highly-regarded information
tool to enable linkages of Nigerian skills and expertise abroad
with Nigeria’s
government, industry, and academic sectors to meet their workforce,
training, and economic development needs.
The Opportunity: Untapped Diaspora Resources
Strengthening and accumulating productive human capital is vital for
economic progress. Some competitive countries are effective at developing
human capital within their borders; others find this source of advantage
in their native human capital from abroad. And still a few do both
equally well. Diaspora Nigerians are an important external source
of human capital for Nigeria. As a very educated and highly-skilled
group who have benefited from the knowledge resources of advanced
economies like the United States and Canada, many Diaspora Nigerian
professionals have reached key positions in their organizations, and
have individually and collectively developed an impressive track record
in various spheres of industry, academia, and government. Whether
in corporate boardrooms or in hospital operating rooms, Nigerians
abroad have distinguished themselves as a talented and highly-skilled
new immigrant group with significant economic and knowledge resources.
