Advancing Refugee Entrepreneurship: Guidelines for the Private Sector, Governments, and the Development Community
Generating Jobs for Refugees and their Host Communities
This paper surveys the status of refugee entrepreneurs in several world regions and offers a menu of possible actions that governments, development partners, and private sector actors (including local and global companies, financial institutions, and investors) can undertake to accelerate the economic and social inclusion of refugee entrepreneurs. In this regard, the paper can be an actionable tool that is useful for refugee-owned and local-owned companies, investors, financial institutions, regulators, and development partners seeking practical ways to implement lessons from the private sector-refugee link.
