SECOND ROUND OF NATIONAL CALLS FOR PROPOSALS (KENYA AND UGANDA): SUPPORTING
REMITTANCES IN TIMES OF CRISIS IN AFRICA

The Financing Facility for Remittances (FFR) of IFAD is pleased to announce the
second round of National Calls for Proposals (Kenya, Uganda) 2021: supporting
remittances in times of crisis in Africa.

Through its over US$60 million fund, the FFR works to reduce poverty and promote
development by leveraging both international and domestic remittances and
migrant capital in rural areas of developing countries. In this context, the FFR
intervenes in Africa through the Platform for Remittances, Investments and
Migrants’ Entrepreneurship in Africa (PRIME Africa), a programme co-financed by
the European Union, with the aim to reduce inequality and enhance financial
inclusion in Africa through the reduction of remittance costs and the
maximization of their impact.

The Call for Proposals 2021 follows the previous ones published in December
2020, and focuses on Kenya and Uganda, to finance initiatives that will support
at least one of the following objectives:

 1. Reduce international remittance transaction costs – Contribute to reducing
    international remittance transfer costs and increase access to and use of
    transparent and gender-responsive low-cost services.
 2. Accelerate digitalization of international remittances – Accelerate the use
    of digital products and the digital payments ecosystem to support
    international remittances.
 3. Leverage remittances to deepen financial inclusion – Use international
    remittances as a conduit for increasing financial inclusion and the
    resilience of remittance senders and recipients.
 4. Expand formal channels for international remittances – Promote greater
    access and use of formal international remittance transfers.

IFAD’s FFR welcomes strategic partnerships linking for-profit entities with
non-profit organizations, formal financial intermediaries, money transfer
operators, microfinance institutions, financial cooperatives, postal networks,
philanthropic organizations, investment funds, local and national governments,
among others.

These National Calls for Proposals 2021 will finance grants from €150,000 up to
€500,000.

Regional proposals including both Kenya and Uganda can request up to €750,000.
