Migration, Remittances and Development in Africa |
This project is undertaken jointly by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the World Bank. It seeks to improve our understanding of migration and remittances in Sub-Saharan Africa, including their magnitude, causes, and impacts on poverty reduction, with a view to generating informed policy recommendations. It also seeks to strengthen the capacity of policy makers, researchers, financial institutions and donor agencies in Africa to enhance the development impact of migration and remittances in Africa. Through research, surveys, analysis and consultation, the project will generate the first comprehensive body of information on migration and remittances in Africa. The project has received financial support from the AfDB, CIDA, DFID, Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the World Bank.
