Connecting the Acoli Diaspora with Home

The Roco Paco Diaspora Engagement Initiative is more than a project – it is a movement. A initiative that unites Acoli people living across the world with their ancestral homeland, transforming goodwill and scattered effort into coordinated action for change.

Why the Diaspora Matters

For decades, the Acoli people have endured war, displacement and systemic collapse. Yet across the globe, the Acoli diaspora continues to thrive in education, business, leadership and culture. This initiative channels those skills, resources and networks back home to accelerate post-war recovery, investment and leadership growth.

Our Core Mission

At its heart, the Diaspora Engagement Initiative is about reciprocity and renewal. We build structured pathways for:

  • Sharing expertise in health, education, business and governance.

  • Guiding young Acoli into globally competent, future-ready leaders.

  • Opportunities for diaspora members to directly serve communities at home.

  • Ensuring diaspora voices influence socio-economic and cultural transformation.
