This project has aimed to carry out a survey of family remittances in Guatemalan households and communities sending international migrants, in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of remittances.
Specifically, this project has aimed to a) provide a comprehensive understanding of family remittances as a community development mechanism in Guatemala; b) define a new methodology for measuring the economic and social impact of remittances in receiving families and communities; and c) set up a data management system capable of collecting, processing, and analyzing data on family remittances.
