The International Fund for Agriculture and Development (IFAD) under its Financial Facility for Remittances (FFR) has announced the call for proposals for the year 2010 on Promoting innovative remittance systems and investment channels. This call specifically seeks to promote access to remittances in rural areas, linking remittances and rural financial services and productions and develop innovative and productive rural investment opportunities for migrants and community-based organizations.
This is an open call for proposals and NGOs, nonprofit institutions, government organizations, private entities and cooperatives or credit unions can submit proposals. Small organizations can collaborate and put up joint proposals for this call. Grants of up $250,000 will be provided per project.

The call for proposals has been announced by IFAD in partnership with the European Commission (EC), the Government of Luxembourg, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation (MAE) and the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF).
The FFR is a US $18 million multi-donor facility. It has been established for the purpose of increasing economic opportunities for the rural poor by supporting, developing and improving various innovative, cost-effective and easily accessible remittance services internationally as well domestically. FFR is working towards linking NGOs and nonprofit organizations with remittance systems and operators so that rural people in developing countries are able to use and apply tools and techniques that not only help them access remittances easily but also use them for sustainable development. In this context, a whole range of services and networks are integrated like private entities, banks, financial intermediaries, money transfer operators, microfinance institutions, financial cooperatives, non-financial institutions, postal networks and philanthropic organizations.
