To respond to a growing policy need for a common approach to promoting the socioeconomic inclusion of migrants and refugees that recognizes their contribution
to development, UNCTAD, UNHCR and IOM have brought together their technical expertise and
practical knowledge and collaboratively developed this Policy Guide on Entrepreneurship for
Migrants and Refugees. The guide builds upon a thorough analysis and review of insights from 35
in-depth case studies and over 100 other initiatives, offering novel insights for the global discussion
on how to support entrepreneurship among migrants and refugees in both developed and
developing countries. The guide aims to provide high-level yet practice-oriented recommendations
on policies and programmes to support entrepreneurial activity by, for and with migrants and
refugees. The recommendations come in the form of policy options and possible measures and
initiatives that governments or other relevant stakeholders can adopt outright or adapt to local
needs and circumstances.
