Entrepreneurship for Migrants and Refugees
Luis is a Columbian refugee in Ecuador. He started his own farm while his wife is receiving training on breeding poultry and guinea pigs, an Ecuadorian delicacy. They both saved some money thanks to these activities. Their business expanded, and both are working in their fields and producing agricultural products. UNCTAD, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) opened a photo exhibit in Geneva, Switzerland, on 18 November 2019 to show how migrant and refugee entrepreneurs contribute to the economic and social development of their host and origin countries. The exhibit was organized as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2019 and the photos were displayed in the Palais des Nations.
