With the continued growth of mobile technology and smartphones globally, more people, including refugees, are relying on digital platforms to earn an income. These opportunities offer flexibility and new earning potential but they come with risks and challenges. UNHCR partnered with 17 Triggers to conduct community-based workshops in seven countries to better understand refugee needs and experiences in the digital economy and to co-create solutions for how to better unlock the potential the sector can provide.
