Abstract

Developing countries continue to face the outmigration of its citizens resulting in significant brain drain, economic, and social implications. This paper considers the potential roles of ICTs in re-configuring the diasporic identity as citizens of their countries of origin through contributions and knowledge transfer utilizing ICT mediated innovations. It is posited that ICTs are the next vector replacing remissions in terms of meaningful contributions to the brain gain, economic, social, health, and capacity building of the home states. Specific consideraton of the Caribbean diaspora will be undertaken.
