The 16th of June is the INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FAMILY REMITTANCES
The first celebration took place in 2015 at the GLOBAL FORUM ON REMITTANCES AND DEVELOPMENT, June 16-19 , 2015 in Milan, Italy as part of the World Expo. The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), a specialized agency of the United Nations has developed the IDFR idea as a way for other institutions to work with IFAD in endorsing the values behind the IDFR in order to capitalize on the potential of remittances to further help meet the economic, social and environmental challenges confronting developing countries. If your institution wants to promote or endorse the IDFR it must contact IFAD at idfr@ifad.org.
