This assessment on Expanding Economic Opportunities for Syrian Refugees and Host Communities in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Syria—made possible through a UNDP partnership with ILO and WFP, and with support from the Regional Development and Protection Programme—provides pragmatic, empirically grounded research to support these efforts. We explore how host governments, international actors, and private sector partners can both create new economic opportunities and expand access to existing economic opportunities.This research is primarily based on some 120 interviews with representatives from business communities, governments.
