MONTSERRAT GOVERNMENT UK OFFICE

What is the Montserrat Diaspora Database?

The Montserrat Diaspora Database is an initiative of the Montserrat Government UK Office (MGUKO) to connect Montserratians and persons of Montserratian heritage worldwide with opportunities to engage in Montserrat’s social, cultural, and economic development.

The database helps us to:

• Understand where diaspora communities are based
• Identify skills, professional expertise, and areas of interest
• Strengthen economic, cultural, and social links between Montserrat and its global diaspora
• Support government planning and international engagement

By signing up, you contribute to a clearer and more representative picture of Montserrat’s global community.

The Government of Montserrat is actively engaging diaspora talent to support national development and meet skills needs across sectors.

• Understand the Global Diaspora Profile - Identify where Montserratians abroad are located and what skills they bring.
• Address Skills Gaps - Match expertise in the diaspora with priority sectors in Montserrat’s public and private sectors.
