June 16 is the International Day of Family Remittances. Now this year’s observance theme focuses on the benefits that digital and financial inclusion bring when linked to remittances in helping remittance families achieve their own sustainable development goals (SDGs).
The aim is to ensure support of the observance and dissemination of resulting actions in line with the #FamilyRemittances Campaign 2020 2030: Support one billion people to reach their own SDGs.
This campaign will focus on strengthening and guiding stakeholders in concentrating on the new trends and priorities that make remittances count more.
It will also promote digital technologies to enhance financial inclusion in Low and Low Middle-Income Countries, in order to achieve the cost reduction target of 3%.
