In an African context marked by high intra-continental mobility, the economic and social integration of migrants and refugees is a crucial issue for states, host communities, and regional institutions. Entrepreneurship education is proving to be a strategic lever for addressing this challenge by promoting active inclusion, economic autonomy, and the development of displaced persons' skills.
This article analyzes current practices and proposes concrete ways to strengthen the role of entrepreneurship education as a vehicle for integration and empowerment in a continent undergoing rapid demographic and economic transformation.
How can entrepreneurship education promote the economic and social integration of migrants and refugees in Africa, in a context of high intra-continental mobility and economic transformation?
