2024 Africa Roundtable on Private Sector Solutions to Internal Displacement
2024 Africa Roundtable on Private Sector Solutions to Internal Displacement
This event brings together visionary leaders from the private sector, government, and civil society to address one of the most pressing global challenges: internal displacement. This is your opportunity to participate in creating sustainable solutions that support and uplift displaced communities and unlock economic potential.
- Global crisis: Forced displacement affects 122 million people worldwide due to persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations, natural disasters, and climate emergencies.
- Internally Displaced Populations (IDPs): IDPs outnumber refugees in most situations. There are about 63.3 million IDPs globally, with around half living in Africa. They often live in host communities with limited facilities services but great potential.
By investing wisely and forming strategic partnerships, the private sector can help build strong economies, support displaced people to live with dignity, and find lasting solutions to their challenges.
- Innovate and lead: Discover how your business can drive economic transformation and support forcibly displaced persons through strategic investments and partnerships.
- Network and collaborate: Connect with key stakeholders, including corporate businesses, policymakers, and humanitarian partners, to forge impactful collaborations.
- Gain insights: Learn from experts about scalable solutions and best practices that enhance market creation in displacement-affected areas.
The roundtable will cover themes including:
- technology sharing
- affordable goods and services
- job creation
- the provision of financial services.
Explore critical industry topics such as agribusiness, financial services, climate insurance, innovation, and infrastructure. Delve into opportunities across various sectors and regions, with a focus on countries across Africa from Burkina Faso to Democratic Republic of Congo, to Mozambique to Nigeria.
