In addition to economic impacts, migrants also make substantial contributions in sociocultural and civic-political life. Sociocultural contributions occur in the following areas of societies: food/cuisine, sport, music, art/culture, ideas and beliefs; civic-political contributions relate to participation in civic duties in the context of accepted authority of the State.<ref>McAuliffe, Kitimbo & Khadria, 2019, 'Reflections on migrations' contributions in an era of increasing disruption and disinformation', World Migration Report 2020, IOM: Geneva.</ref> It is in recognition of the importance of these remittances that the United Nations [[Sustainable Development Goal 10]] targets to substantially reduce the transaction costs of migrants remittances to less than 3% by 2030.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Goal ten targets |url=https://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/sustainable-development-goals/goal-10-reduced-inequalities/targets.html |access-date=2020-09-23 |website=UNDP |language=en |archive-date=2020-11-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127140337/https://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/sustainable-development-goals/goal-10-reduced-inequalities/targets.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
