Partners to Unleash Financial Inclusion in Rural Senegal
The UN’s International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) has developed two new public-private partnerships to enhance access to cheaper, faster and safer remittances, the hard-earned money sent home to Senegalese by migrant workers.
New partnerships aim to increase access to digital and financial services and products across rural areas of Senegal. “Remittances are a lifeline for rural people. Mobile channels offer a great opportunity for many underserved areas in Senegal to be fully able to access finance,” said Pedro de Vasconcelos, Manager of IFAD’s Financing Facility for Remittances.
