 Gender, Remittances and Development. The Case of Filipino Migration to Italy
Santo Domingo, 2008
Victoria Simmons and Mar García Domínguez
Only available in English.
For this study, UN-INSTRAW has partnered with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in order to examine the impact and potential of remittances for making positive contributions to sustainable and gender-sensitive local development in the rural Philippines. One of the particular features of this investigation was the active participation of an asociation of Filipina migrant women in Rome, Italy, the Filipino Women’s Council (FWC) in the research process.
After the first section with the theoretical framework that guided the research process, followed by a brief overview of the study’s main objectives and the methodology used in the collection and analysis of the data, part two characterizes the migratory and remittance flows between the Philippines and Italy, and provides an overview of some of the key actors currently working on initiatives linked to migration, remittances and development. This is followed by an analysis of remittances’ impact and potential for promoting gender- sensitive sustainable rural development and food security in the communities of origin studied. The fourth section of this paper highlights some of the conclusions reached during a validation workshop in which Filipino migrants in Rome met with the project researchers to discuss this study’s results and explore possible initiatives for future action. Finally, the conclusions of this study are presented along with a series of recommendations for future policy and research in this area.

 Migración Colombiana del AMCO hacia España
Santo Domingo, 2008
Mar García Domínguez
Only available in Spanish.
This study on Colombian migration to Spain is the result of a joint effort between UN-INSTRAW and the International Organization for Migration - IOM – originating from the database that “Alianza País” had developed for one of the regions in the country from where the greatest number of migrants goes to Spain (the Metropolitan Center-West Area (AMCO). This partnership reflects a common goal, consisting in the integration of the gender perspective into policies, programmes and development projects in order to contribute to its effectiveness and sustainability. The complementarity between the quantitative and qualitative data allows to analyze in a more comprehensive and complex ways how gender operates on projects and migratory processes and the sending and use of remittances, as well as determining what other structural variables beyond gender affect the migration and remittances patterns.
The active members of “Alianza País” are: IOM Colombia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through its programme “Nos Une Colombia”, the National Department of Statistics (DANE) and the Network of Public Universities of the Coffee Area. (Alma Mater).

 Preliminary Findings
From Selected SADC Countries
Santo Domingo, 2007
Tim Hughes, South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA)
This Study is the result of collaboration between UN-INSTRAW and the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA). Though there is no scarcity of research on migration in SADC, existing research is highly weighted towards understanding male migration to the mining and agricultural sectors in South Africa, which has left significant gaps in information and analysis. Some of these gaps are the focus of the present study. The incipient state of gender-based analyses of the impact of migration and remittances on development in SADC meant that the first priority of the collaboration between UN-INSTRAW and SAIIA was a review and analysis of existing literature. This study offers a general overview: firstly, of migration in SADC (migratory patterns, strategies and reasons behind migration and the different types of flows); secondly, of remittances flows (values, transfer mechanisms, monetary or goods remittances, frequency and quantities, particular flows such as from mining workers, impacts on recipient households and their role at the national and regional levels); thirdly, of the African (migration policies), SADC (migration and gender policies), and national (migration, citizenship and refugee policies) political contexts; and fourthly, of the links between HIV/AIDS, migratory flows and remittances.

 Gender, remittances and development: The case of women migrants from Vicente Noble, Dominican Republic
Santo Domingo, 2006 (order from UN Publications)
Mar García Domínguez
The integration of gender perspectives in the analysis of migratory processes, remittances and development contributes to making development and migration policies and programmes more effective and sustainable. INSTRAW has initiated a series of case studies with the aim of understanding the gender dimensions of the migratory phenomenon, remittances, and their potential for development. The case of Dominican migration to Spain was chosen as an initial study because it is uniquely appropriate for an analysis of the links between migration, remittances and gender: it is a predominantly female migratory flow from rural areas, with women migrating as the main economic providers for their households.

 Temporary Labour Migration of Women: Case Studies of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka
INSTRAW/Ser.A/47, ISBN 92-1-127055-3, Sales No. E.00.III.C.1, (E), US$15.00 (order from UN Publications), 2000
This publication presents case studies conducted by INSTRAW and IOM (International Organization on Migration) on temporary labor migration of women in two countries in Southeast Asia: Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The main focus of the research was on how female migration affects women's empowerment process; the kinds of hazards which migrant women are exposed to in both the receiving and sending country; the economic and social impact of female migration on the families left behind; and how gender roles are redefined in terms of the division of labour and decision making processes in the household. Case studies include recommendations to governments of sending and receiving countries as well as to international organizations and non-governmental organizations that are concerned with the plight of migrant women and the economic and social impact of this phenomenon at the household, national and international levels.
