The increasing importance of mobile remittances has prompted the need to develop a specific knowledge base. In response thereto, the Financing Facility for Remittances (FFR) of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) developed MobileRemit Africa as a key instrument of the Platform for Remittances, Investments and Migrants’ Entrepreneurship in Africa (PRIME Africa) initiative, co-financed by the European Union and initially implemented in seven African countries (Ghana, Kenya,
Morocco, Senegal, South Africa, The Gambia and Uganda), along with their main remittance corridors.
