Listen "Creating Enabling Environments for Refugees"
Episode Synopsis
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, more than 65 million people around the world have been forced from home—the highest levels of displacement on record. In her recent SSIR article, "Let Refugees Be Their Own Solution," Emily Arnold-Fernandez, executive director of the nonprofit Asylum Access, and Brian Rawson, the organization's associate director of advocacy and communication, make the case that better policies in host countries can enable refugees to rebuild their own lives and contribute to host economies. Priss Benbow, a fellow at Stanford's Distinguished Careers Institute, interviews Arnold-Fernandez about what enabling environments look like in practice and how nonprofits and other social sector players can help create them.
