In this study, I argue that there is an interplay between migration and development. Countries of origin can use a variety of methods to attract and engage diaspora citizens in their development pro- jects. Hence, using semi-structured interviews, observation, and secondary document analysis, I explored the engagement of Eritrean diaspora academics in the higher education institutions (HEIs) of their country of origin. The study found that the HEIs are developing a working relationship with Eritrean diaspora academics located in different parts of the world. Besides, the diaspora aca- demics have been engaging in different fields to support the HEIs in general and faculty and student development in particular. However, the findings further showed that the HEIs had less control over the linkage program. In addition, socio-economic and political factors negatively affected the diaspora academics engagement in the HEIs. The study helps readers to understand ‘why’ and ‘how’ diaspora academics engage in their country of origin. In doing so, it significantly advances the knowledge about migration- development nexus. It also contributes to improving the methods in practice regarding diaspora engagement in their country of origin
