Savoirs

This document reports on the remarkable achievements of the Financing Facility for Remittances (FFR) in its five years of operation. It provides an overview of the importance of remittances to development, the strategy that the Facility has adopted to date, and the lessons. 

The FFR Brief learned from the innovative projects it has financed. Looking forward, the report highlights the tremendous opportunities offered by large-scale distribution networks, adoption of new technologies, mobilization of migrant capital and partnering with the private sector. Each chapter has been designed to be readable as a stand-alone discussion of the specific topic area it addresses. As a number of projects resulted in lessons learned in multiple areas, projects may be mentioned more than once, and their impact in each topic area will be discussed separately.

Le présent rapport résume une compilation à venir d’études sur les transferts de fonds vers l’Asie et le Pacifique. Ses conclusions reposent sur une série d’études commandées par le Fonds international de développement agricole (FIDA) et réalisées par Developing Markets Associates, le Dialogue interaméricain (IAD), la Banque mondiale et l’Institut mondial des caisses d’épargne ainsi que d’études et d’analyses de la Banque mondiale.
