For decades, refugees have largely relied on humanitarian aid to survive. But as displacement across Africa becomes more prolonged, governments are increasingly shifting their focus from relief to sustainable employment.
That conversation is taking centre stage this week as policymakers, employers and workers' representatives from five African countries meet at the PROSPECTS Africa Forum on Decent Work and Forced Displacement to explore how employment can become part of the solution.
As Jasmine Wambui reports, delegates are discussing ways to expand access to decent work for refugees and host communities while promoting economic inclusion and self-reliance.
