The Impact of Cash Grants and Mentorship on Refugee and Host Businesses

Join us for a dynamic discussion on the latest findings from Re:BUiLD’s Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) Wave 1, which evaluated the impact of cash grants and business mentorship on refugee and host community entrepreneurs.       
This webinar will explore the results of the study, shedding light on how mentorship paired with financial support compares to cash assistance alone in improving business performance and entrepreneurial attitudes. Experts will also discuss the practical implications of these findings for program design and policy moving forward.

Speakers:

• Thomas Ginn, Center for Global Development       
  Will present the RCT results, highlighting key insights on the effectiveness of combined mentorship and cash interventions. 

• David Martin Musiime, International Rescue Committee, Re:BUiLD       
  Will share how the IRC is applying these findings in the field and what they mean for future programming and scale-up efforts. 

Moderator:  

• Caroline Lawton, Innovations for Poverty Action

The webinar will be held on Wednesday, July 23 at 9AM EDT / 4PM EAT (online via Zoom).
