BIND Influence is focused on advancing advocacy efforts that promote policies supporting community development and economic growth, particularly for diaspora and cross-border businesses. Grounded in BIND’s anchors of Negotiations and Neighborhood Systems, the program recognizes that businesses operate within policy environments that directly shape their ability to grow, invest, and compete. As such, it prioritizes increasing awareness of policies impacting NAO businesses, while creating opportunities to engage in conversations that influence how those policies are developed and implemented. This includes collaboration with partners and institutions that share aligned goals, as well as supporting initiatives that strengthen the broader business and development ecosystem.
