## Notice

The Scottish Government, on behalf of Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission a desk-based literature review for the on-going Scottish Connections (diaspora) work.The aim of the work specified here is to provide the Scottish Government with timely, robust information on engagement activities, initiatives and strategies undertaken by various state and sub-state actors with regard to diasporic communities. This should include engaging with traditional diaspora of those with heritage from that country, as well as alumni, and more broadly people who have a connection/affinity to the country. The proposed literature review will therefore provide a clear overview of such strategies, as well as provide detailed case studies. The findings will be used to develop the Scottish Government's Scottish Connections work further.
