Entrepreneurship for Migrants and Refugees
Oksana is an IDP who moved with her husband and two children from the conflict-affected town of Toretsk, in Eastern Ukraine to Kharkiv. She produces wood dust pellets that are used for heating as an alternative to gas, coal or firewood. 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.
