The conference disseminated the main results and lessons learned from the EU-IFAD joint global programme "Maximizing the Impact of Remittances in Rural Areas (MIGRRA)" and its current scaling up initiative in Africa "Platform for Remittances, Investment and Migrants' entrepreneurship in Africa (PRIME Africa)".

Since 2007, through a long-term partnership, IFAD and the EU are maximizing the impact of remittances to development, facilitating access to formal remittances, promoting digital and financial inclusion, but also improving data collection and analysis and supporting governments and regulators in promoting greater enabling environments.
