2025Shifting from Aid to Entrepreneurship: A Better Response to Forced Displacement
In 2024, the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide reached nearly 123 million. According to Mary Mwangi at Inkomoko, this growing reality, coupled with shrinking humanitarian aid, demands a new response.

She explores how Inkomoko is working to empower displaced entrepreneurs in Africa through financing, skill development and access to markets.
