Cultivating and facilitating diaspora homeland investment has become a significant concern of many
national governments and multilateral organizations. Diaspora policy becomes important as a means to
strengthen migrants‘ affinity to the country of origin and encourage contributions to economic and social
development. In this article we will analyze what determinants motivate diaspora to invest in their homeland for the community development to be able to elaborate adequate policies to involve all migrants working abroad in the country’s development, as well as their return home combined with business investment and knowledge transfer. In the final, there will be elaborated appropriate recommendations to describe what behavioral mechanisms can be exploited by policy-makers to increase the effectiveness of interventions for stimulation of diaspora investments for the community development.
