About the partnership
IFC–UNHCR Joint Initiative
Private Sector Solutions in Forced Displacement Contexts
At the end of 2024, an estimated 123.2 million people worldwide were forcibly displaced by persecution, conflict, violence, and human-rights violations—7 million more than in 2023. The Initiative reports that the estimate declined slightly to 122.1 million by April 2025, the first decrease in more than a decade. Nearly three-quarters of the world’s refugees are hosted by low- and middle-income countries, often in settings with limited fiscal space and substantial development challenges.
Humanitarian assistance remains essential to saving lives, but durable progress also depends on economic opportunity. By advancing financial inclusion, tailored services, employment, and entrepreneurship, the private sector can serve displaced people and host communities while supporting local markets. In the spirit of the Global Compact on Refugees, the Joint Initiative brings IFC and UNHCR capabilities together to help forcibly displaced people live with greater dignity and contribute to local economies.
Explore the Joint InitiativeThe question
How do you create a reliable view of a complex private-sector and employment ecosystem?
The Joint Initiative needed a grounded understanding of how policy, market conditions, employer demand, workforce experience, finance, and existing programmes interacted—and where further action could be most useful. The challenge was not a lack of information. It was turning dispersed evidence and different institutional perspectives into one coherent decision frame.
Our contribution
We connected the evidence, the market, and the institutions around it.
Our work combined structured research with ecosystem engagement and private-sector analysis. The aim was to move beyond a catalogue of initiatives and build a practical view of the system: what shaped participation, where actors were already active, how employer and workforce perspectives differed, and which gaps merited closer attention.
Engaged the ecosystem
Structured stakeholder perspectives across businesses, public institutions, international organizations, research, and civil society.
Connected demand and experience
Examined employer needs alongside workforce-side experience and barriers to reveal where assumptions and operating realities diverged.
Mapped programmes and actors
Organized the landscape of relevant initiatives and institutions to clarify roles, overlaps, and areas requiring further attention.
Developed private-sector cases
Used case-based evidence to make different forms of private-sector engagement tangible and comparable.
Converted evidence into choices
Synthesized the work into a decision-oriented stocktaking that framed gaps and strategic options for the Joint Initiative.
What the work enabled
A shared foundation for deciding what should come next.
The assignment brought fragmented material into one structured view and gave the Joint Initiative a clearer basis for prioritizing further analysis, institutional dialogue, and private-sector engagement. The value was in the connection: linking evidence to market reality, and market reality to choices that institutions could assess together.
