Project Summary

This TA is intended to increase the positive effects of remittances on poverty in Central Asia and South Caucasus. The expected outcome is improved knowledge of remittance flows and understanding of their effects on poverty in individual Central Asian and South Caucasian countries covered, and the region as a whole. The TA outputs will include:

• A regional report on the financial sector and remittances in Central Asia and South Caucasus;
