UNCTAD-UNITAR: Launch of French "Entrepreneurship for Migrants and Refugees" E-learning course
人类
背景信息
Entrepreneurship offers both a long-term solution to the challenges emanating from large and permanent movements of people and operates as a means for livelihoods in the short-term following humanitarian crises.
Especially in recovering from COVID-19 pandemic, forging innovative partnerships can play a critical role in improving the inclusive nature of entrepreneurship ecosystems. Such partnerships can
(i) narrow pervasive information gaps on the supply of services by ecosystem stakeholders and the demand for services by migrant and refugee entrepreneurs,
(ii) harness synergies among stakeholders,
(iii) reduce the barriers faced by migrant and refugee entrepreneurs and
(iv) strengthen implementation of policies and delivery of programmes in a coordinated manner.
Within this framework, there is a need to build innovative and multistakeholder partnerships to eliminate exclusion and to strengthen the humanitarian-development nexus.
