With #WorldRefugeeDay approaching, it is important to emphasize that forced displacement is a crisis too large and complex for governments and humanitarian agencies to solve alone. That’s why IFC and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency partnered on the IFC UNHCR Joint Initiative that mobilizes private sector projects to create inclusive economic opportunities for refugees and their host communities. Together, we can demonstrate that investments in forced displacement contexts are both viable and beneficial to local economies and markets. 🔎 Learn more about our partnership: http://wrld.bg/QOIy50SlTxb #WithRefugees #RefugeeDay #forceddisplacement #migrant #refugee

Last week, I had the chance to join the grand finale of the IFC Impact Investing Challenge 2024. In the presentations of the three teams who were finalists in the Challenge, I was impressed with the research and talent of such accomplished graduate students who proposed innovative and impactful solutions to tackle the climate-gender nexus. This intersection is of critical importance to IFC’s work, and we continue to champion investments with an integrated climate and gender lens. While there could only be one final winner, all the finalists to me embody intellectual curiosity and purposeful passion to advance global development – and I commend and congratulate each of them. They represent the next generation whose ideas put into action today will make the world greener and more inclusive.
