Private Sector Forum on Migration and Refugees within the 2016 Concordia Summit

Concordia, Columbia University’s Global Policy Initiative, the International Organization for Migration, and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, with the support of the Open Society Foundations and Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, hosted a series of high-level interactive discussions on the private sector’s role and responsibility in addressing global migration challenges and the current refugee crisis. A curated gathering of200 cross-sector leaders joined this invitation-only forum, which culminated in a plenary session issuing a Call to Action to all 1,500+ Concordia Summit attendees on the need to combine efforts and partner across sectors to provide tangible solutions for forced migration.

Professor Jennifer Bond was one of the panelist for the intervention on “The Private Sector’s Role in Refugee Resettlement”.
