Learning How to Improve Remittances and Financial Services for Women and Men on the Move

The UNCDF-HKS Migrant Remittances and Financial Service programme was designed to immerse participants in a transformational learning experience through a combination of live lectures and group work. Faculty lectures and case studies covered various topics related to migrants, remittances, and financial services, such as Migrants and Financial Inclusion, Migrants and the Informal Economy, Fintech and Financial Inclusion, and Data and Evidence for Smart Policy. Case studies helped highlight multifaceted issues affecting migration and remittances and yielded insights that could be applied to develop risk-based policies and migrant-centric, gender-inclusive financial products. Participants discussed the case studies in small groups prior to the live lectures to deepen their understanding of the case materials and maximize the value of the plenary discussion.
