Background:
The project’s three specific outputs are:
1) An increased gender-sensitive access and literacy of remittance-recipients and senders to financial services in order to promote the
accumulation of local savings and investment;
2) Models and mechanisms that facilitate migrants’ investment and savings in Kosovo are identified and piloted; and
3) Evidence-based policies created by Kosovo authorities who have an improved capacity to produce and manage information related to
migration and development, including gender disaggregated data.
The project reports on a quarterly basis to the project board, consisting members of UNDP, IOM, the government of Finland (donor) and Ministry of Diaspora (beneficiary). The project has two team members, Project Manager and Project Associate.
