With nearly 50m Africans without a stable home due to conflict, economic distress and climate shocks, displacement has become one of the most pressing challenges facing the continent.
However, speakers convened by the Amahoro Coalition on the margins of the September UN General Assembly UNGA meetings in New York, argued that recognising the economic potential of refugees, beyond humanitarian responses, can help deliver much more sustainable solutions.
The gathering provided a platform for dialogue on how Africa's private sector, philanthropic community, and international partners can collaborate to unlock opportunities for displaced populations.
