EKN Market Research - Growing Sectors for Refugees and Host Communities

The market analysis identified which economic sectors in Aswan are growing, which skills are demanded, how legal and regulatory frameworks affect refugee and migrant participation in the workforce, what barriers businesses face in hiring from displaced and vulnerable communities, and which vocational training and capacity-building initiatives would be most effective in addressing labour market needs.

By addressing these critical areas, the market assessment serves as a foundation for developing inclusive, evidence-driven livelihood strategies that contribute to long-term economic sustainability for both refugees and host communities.

The findings also support advocacy efforts for policy improvements and private sector engagement, ensuring that all groups can contribute to and benefit from economic growth.
