  • PS4R Paris Peace Forum Address and Exhibition Speaker: Benjamin Herzberg, Senior Private Sector Specialist, World Bank Group 12 November 2020
    Summary: PS4R Paris Peace Forum Address and Exhibition Speaker: Benjamin Herzberg, Senior Private Sector Specialist, World Bank Group 12 November 2020 The presentation began with a global overview, noting that there are some 79.5 million forcibly displaced persons in the world, including 26 million refugees, according to UNHCR. How to bring in the private sector Many companies around the world have tried to change their business model, promoting humanitarian investment. Some are very active, with global supply chains, investing all over the world. Moreover, they have different workforces and ways to address the market. The Private Sector for Refugees (PS4R) initiative brings together partners and knowledge from the private sector, and is organized by the International Chamber of Commerce, the European Investment Bank, the UN Refugee Agency, the Confederation of Danish Industry and the World Bank Group. Many other institutions are interested in this initiative, such as the World Economic Forum, the Open Society Foundation, the TENT partnership, and MasterCard Foundation, but also bilateral donors and partners are engaged. PS4R’s goal is to identify solutions together with the private sector, in order to promote the economic integration of refugees. In addition, PS4R wants to find a way to create better and more positive conditions within the countries where refugees are present. One of the main achievements of the PS4R initiative so far is the Charter of Good Practice. It was launched in June 2019 in Paris and is based on 4 key themes: • ENTREPRENEURSHIP Entrepreneurship is fundamental for integrating refugees due to the need for self- sustainability, to achieve positive livelihoods, and to put their skills and competencies to action.
