Entrepreneurship for Migrants and Refugees

Once he received assistance from IOM, Aziz gathered enough courage to open his own welding company, “Al-Oumma” in Tahoua, Niger. Aziz has been living with polio since he was a toddler, but he is a strong pillar to his wife, three children and extended family, always trying to fill in the gaps in the family revenues. 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.
