In Jordan and Lebanon, Social entrepreneurs reach-out to refugees

In Jordan and Lebanon, Social entrepreneurs reach-out to refugees
04/01/2020 | Socio-economic assessments

An analysis which is more topical than ever with the Covid-19 pandemic which calls into question our current systems and sees the reinforcement of new behaviors focused on humanist values.
