About this episode

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the INKonversation Podcast, Amahoro Coalition's Isaac Kwaku joins host Anna Wanjiru to challenge the way Africa’s private sector views displacement. With over 45 million forcibly displaced people across the continent, Isaac makes the case for seeing this population not as a humanitarian challenge — but as a market, a workforce, and a source of innovation.
