Inclusion is good for business: Private sector practices to include refugees and host communities in the digital economy

Episode description:

The digital economy presents prospects to self-reliance for communities affected by forced displacement. However, significant barriers still prevent them from accessing formal employment.

In our third episode, we explore how the private sector has been helping to bridge this gap. Giselle Gonzales, founder of EqualReach, shares emerging practices by businesses and social impact organizations in facilitating market connections, improving working conditions, providing upskilling opportunities, and fostering social cohesion among refugees and host community members. Turning to her own experience, she reflects on how promoting inclusive workplaces is a win for all.
