Grassroot Diplomat is a global non-profit, non-political, diplomatic consultancy established in 2013. The consultancy specializes in digital diplomacy and public diplomacy working with foreign governments and citizen diplomats to help build positive impressions of their country that serve at the level of all people, no matter their nationality.
As an independent diplomatic agency, Grassroot Diplomat has no allegiance to any government in order to remain apolitical[6] and works with all diplomatic missions, anywhere in the world.[8]
Services
In 2018, Grassroot Diplomat published the Diplomatic Planner, a 12-month career development planner for international relations practitioners. As an extension, Grassroot Diplomat developed the 'Grassroot Diplomat Online Academy' to enable independent learning for diplomats looking to become effective leaders.[9]
Grassroot Diplomat Initiative Award
The Grassroot Diplomat Initiative Award was established to recognize outstanding diplomats and politicians who represent the people's interests at the highest level.[10] A total of three diplomats and three politicians are awarded in the areas of policy delivery and influence, public support on social causes, and business assistance and job creation.
In 2013, Rahman-Figueroa was the host of the inaugural Grassroot Diplomat Initiative Award.[11] She later passed on the role to television psychologist Dr. Linda Papadopoulos in 2014. Forthcoming events are held in London, Washington DC, and Brussels.
