MONTSERRAT GOVERNMENT UK OFFICE

What is the Montserrat Diaspora Database?

The Montserrat Diaspora Database is an initiative by the Montserrat Government UK Office to connect Montserratians abroad with opportunities to contribute to Montserrat’s growth. It helps us understand where Montserratians are based, their skills, and their professional expertise, enabling us to strengthen engagement and create meaningful connections between the diaspora and Montserrat.

The Government of Montserrat is actively looking for ways to engage diaspora talent to support national development. The database will be a key resource for:

• Understanding the Diaspora Profile – Mapping skills, locations, and professions within the UK diaspora.
• Addressing Skills Gaps – Identifying expertise that aligns with priority areas in Montserrat’s public and private sectors.
• Recruitment for Public Sector Roles – Providing a pathway for Montserratians abroad to explore civil service and other government employment opportunities.
• Short-Term & Project-Based Engagement – Creating opportunities for diaspora professionals to contribute through consultancies, secondments, or remote work.
• Private Sector & Investment Opportunities – Connecting skilled Montserratians with employment and business prospects in key industries.
• Voluntary & Mentorship Opportunities – Enabling diaspora members to give back by supporting initiatives in education, business development, community projects, and mentorship schemes.

Who Should Register?

We encourage all Montserratians living abroad and those with Montserratian heritage to sign up, particularly:

• Professionals & Skilled Workers – Those interested in employment, consultancy, or secondment opportunities in Montserrat.
• Business Owners & Investors – Individuals looking to contribute to economic growth and enterprise development.
• Community Members & Volunteers – Anyone keen to stay connected and offer their skills through voluntary work, mentorship, or knowledge-sharing initiatives.
