David khoudour
David Khoudour presented at the 2015 Global Forum on Remittances and Development in Milan, Italy. He discussed how public policies can create an enabling environment for using remittances to finance development. Khoudour categorized public policies into migration policies, migration-related development policies, and non-migration sectoral development policies. Sectoral development policies in areas like financial services, agriculture, education, health, and social protection can influence remittance flows and investment by either complementing or substituting for remittances. Coordinating policies across sectors and better integrating migration into development strategies can improve how remittances support development.

This document discusses leveraging migration, remittances, and diaspora for financing sustainable development. It notes that remittances total $440 billion globally, with $135 billion going to developing countries in Africa and Venezuela paying exorbitantly high costs of 8-12% and 20% for transfers within Africa. The document outlines monitoring remittance flows, expanding access to financial services for recipients, and developing capital market access for developing countries as areas that could help maximize development impact. It estimates that reducing costs, tapping diaspora savings and bonds, reducing migrant worker fees, and using future remittance flows as collateral could potentially mobilize over $100 billion for development.

This document discusses leveraging remittances for post-conflict development in Somalia. It notes that security has increased and piracy/insurgency has declined, while the diaspora is returning with human and financial capital.
