Intergovernmental Conference on the Global Compact for Migration

Longer-term efforts to integrate migrants and refugees into local economies often remain fragmented, as policymakers struggle to cope with the immediate effects of humanitarian crises and large movements of refugees and migrants.  One mechanism to achieve this is through the promotion of entrepreneurship.
