Return Migrants Contributing to Entrepreneurship and Growth

What is the relationship between migration and private sector development and trade, and how does this impact sustainable development? Return migrants often contribute to their countries of return by bringing new cultures, skills and capital which can foster innovation in private sector development. Listen to Joji’s story to understand what mainstreaming migration into private sector development and trade programmes can mean in practice. The video is a part of a #MigrationConnection series that have been produced by IOM through the “Mainstreaming Migration into International Cooperation and Development” (MMICD) initiative funded by the EU.
