Endorse the IDFR and this year’s campaign: Endorsement letters 2023
This year, one of the campaign objectives is to reiterate commitment from key cross-sectoral remittance stakeholders to engage – individually or in partnership – to implement initiatives embodying the IDFR values.

Your endorsements will be widely disseminated on the IDFR website, the UN dedicated webpage for the IDFR, newsletters through our social media channels (Twitter and LinkedIn).
