The International Day of Family Remittances (IDFR) recognizes the contributions of migrant workers and highlights the vital role remittances play in improving the livelihoods of millions worldwide.

This year's campaign highlights how remittances drive resilience and decent work opportunities, employment and entrepreneurship in rural communities, especially for women and youth. It calls on the private and public sector, and civil society to work together to better support remittances.

French Group of Seven (G7) Presidency supports IDFR 2026 to advance practical action on remittances for rural resilience and jobs.
