The final report of a two-year study examines the impact of remittances from migrants in Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigeria on poverty reduction and economic growth. Project results and outputs such as focus group discussions, an exit survey at Western Union, Money Gram and other institutions at Nsawam (Eastern Region of Ghana), and a household survey covering 20 enumeration areas with 300 households and 950 household members, are assessed and reviewed.
