This research is part of a series of country diagnostics in selected African countries, in implementation of the Platform for Remittances, Investments and Migrants’ Entrepreneurship in Africa (PRIME Africa) initiative. The diagnostic report has been developed and presented to key stakeholders in the country. It details all aspects of the remittance market, including key players, stakeholders, and recommendations.
