Abstract
In 2007 and 2008, I2UD conducted a study on “Migration, Remittances and the Empowerment of Women in Central America and the Andean Region,” commissioned by the PROMESHA program of the Housing Development and Management Program (HDM) at Lund University and funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). The study provided background research for programs specifically designed to assist women affected by migration in Latin American countries—Honduras, El Salvador, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Argentina.
Mona Serageldin’s focus in the reports centered empowering women’s experience of navigating migration and housing needs by examining remittance sending and receiving patterns and funding use priorities. Suggested strategies included investing remittance funds into key assets for Latin American communities, chiefly to meet housing needs. Documents include an interim report (January 2007) and final report (August 2008).
