In 2007 and 2008, I2UD conducted a study on “Migration, Remittances and Housing in Sub-Saharan Africa,” sponsored by a successful partnership with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). The report defines recommendations for target funding for migrant populations in Senegal, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and South Africa.

The study sought to foster the ability of migrants to improve their incomes and their living environments through access to housing, infrastructure, and financial services. Documents include an interim report from 2007, and final report from 2008.
