Overview
In 2023, FID & Co. partnered with The Amahoro Coalition and UNHCR to support communications and media engagement for the Private Sector Forum on Displaced Persons, held during the Africa Forum on Displacements in Accra, Ghana. This high-level forum brought together governments, private sector leaders, development partners and humanitarian organisations to advance dialogue on private-sector solutions for displaced populations across Africa.
