Entrepreneurship for Migrants and Refugees
Refugee artisans weaving baskets in Mahama Refugee camp, Rwanda. They are crafting woven products that are exported to international markets. This project secures a sustainable income for the women. 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.
