What is DIL?

One trusted point between diaspora capability and opportunity in Africa.

01

Diaspora investors

People bring capital, knowledge, professional experience and a lasting connection to home.

02

Businesses and projects

Local enterprises and developers need credible routes to investment, expertise and wider networks.

03

DIL in the middle

DIL identifies, assesses, matches and facilitates so both sides can move forward with greater confidence.

How DIL works

From finding an opportunity to moving it forward.

DIL is not only a place to read about opportunities. Its role is to connect the people, information and professional support needed around them.

Opportunity range

Bigger than one sector or one type of investor.

Property is the current live application route, not the limit. DIL supports productive opportunities at very different scales.

01

Property and assets

Homes, apartments, shops and carefully assessed property developments.

02

Businesses and enterprise

Local shops, entrepreneurs and growing companies looking for capital, knowledge or connections.

03

Major projects

Hospitality and larger development opportunities that require deeper research and stronger partner networks.

Now accepting: first-stage applications for homes and commercial units within Alians Property from eligible diaspora applicants.

DIL Intelligence · One part of the wider DIL service

Research that supports the decision—not the whole business.

Paid reports help investors and partners understand an opportunity before a deeper conversation. DIL then adds matching, introductions and facilitation where useful.

01

Project Brief

A clear overview of the project, the people behind it, its current stage and the main questions to ask.

02

A closer look at costs, timelines, income plans, assumptions, risks and what may happen under different conditions.

Bespoke Research

Deeper paid research for larger projects, specific sectors and organisations with more detailed questions.

Reports provide information and possible scenarios. They do not guarantee returns or replace independent professional advice.

The network behind the link

From the United Kingdom to Ethiopia—and, over time, across Africa.

Successful facilitation depends on people who understand capital, projects and the local context. DIL brings that network together around each suitable opportunity.

Some relationships are still exploratory. DIL only presents a relationship as a formal partnership when it has been agreed and approved for public use.

Every useful connection starts with a conversation
