The scale of economic potential within displacement deserves more attention within the private sector in Africa. One that goes beyond humanitarian aid and into value chains and business access.
This morning, in Cape Town, UNHCR and the Amahoro Coalition brought together private sector leaders among other stakeholders for "The Opportunity in Displacement," a roundtable on advancing the economic inclusion of forcibly displaced people and host communities in South Africa.
Across South Africa, displaced people are already building businesses, bringing skills into the workforce and contributing to local economies. Creating access to jobs, markets and investment can open more pathways for displaced communities to actively participate in and contribute to economic growth.
Refugee inclusion is not only a humanitarian imperative, it's an economic one too, capable of driving shared growth for business and people alike.
The conversation continues at the African Private Sector Forum on Displacement.
