The Center for Global Development and Refugees International’s advisory group is composed of leaders and experts on refugee and forced migrant economic inclusion and labor market access. They will play a key role in guiding and amplifying our initiative’s three pillars:
- generating evidence on the economic, social, and protection effects of increasing labor market access;
- developing recommendations to maximize its benefits, particularly for women and vulnerable populations, and mitigate challenges for both refugees and forced migrants, and their host communities; and
- supporting efforts to mobilize the private sector to make the business case for increased labor market access.
