Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation participates in the “High Commissioner’s Dialogue on the 2022 Protection Challenges”

On December 7, Violette Cubier, Technical Assistance Officer at the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation, participated in the plenary session of the UNHCR-organized event in Geneva, "The High Commissioner's Dialogue on Protection Challenges 2022." This provided an opportunity to discuss the role of development cooperation in advancing protection, inclusion, and solutions for refugees and stateless people, as well as for host communities.

Participants were able to discuss how to improve development cooperation in displacement contexts and launch concrete, tangible and multi-stakeholder initiatives to address the identified challenges.

For the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation, this event was an opportunity to present and promote its financial inclusion program for refugees and host communities in Uganda, in cooperation with UNHCR and the Swedish Development Cooperation (SIDA). This program aims to promote access to credit, savings, and other financial and non-financial services for refugees and their host communities.

The program has been hailed as an “exemplary initiative for the sustainable economic inclusion of refugees.”
