Notice Title

Qualitative research to inform Scottish Connections (diaspora) work

Notice Description

The Scottish Government, on behalf of Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission a piece of qualitative research for the ongoing Scottish Connections (diaspora) work. The aim of the work specified here is to provide the Scottish Government with timely, robust information on key insights from internal and external stakeholders about successful diaspora engagement strategies. It will also review evidence on the current approach in Scotland in order to come to conclusions about potential future options for expansion of diaspora engagement. The term diaspora not only refers to those with heritage from a particular country, but also alumni and more broadly people who have a connection/affinity to the country. The proposed research will therefore provide insights from a number of key stakeholders in a few defined countries on successful approaches in engaging with their respective diaspora communities, as well as looking at what is already being done by the Scottish Government to connect with this community. The findings will be used to develop the Scottish Government's Scottish Connections work further.

                "description": "The Scottish Government, on behalf of Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission a piece of qualitative research for the ongoing Scottish Connections (diaspora) work. The aim of the work specified here is to provide the Scottish Government with timely, robust information on key insights from internal and external stakeholders about successful diaspora engagement strategies. It will also review evidence on the current approach in Scotland in order to come to conclusions about potential future options for expansion of diaspora engagement. The term diaspora not only refers to those with heritage from a particular country, but also alumni and more broadly people who have a connection/affinity to the country. The proposed research will therefore provide insights from a number of key stakeholders in a few defined countries on successful approaches in engaging with their respective diaspora communities, as well as looking at what is already being done by the Scottish Government to connect with this community. The findings will be used to develop the Scottish Government's Scottish Connections work further. This specification sets out what is required, provides background information on the research and suggestions on method.",
