A group, Tropical General Investments (TGI), a leading contributor to Nigeria’s economy and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), have signed a five-year cooperation agreement to advance socio-economic inclusion and co-create sustainable solutions for forcibly displaced people in Nigeria.

This partnership was formalised by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at a ceremony attended by key representatives from both organisations in Abuja on Tuesday.

This novel partnership between UNHCR and TGI leverages both parties’ core expertise and knowledge to advance the socioeconomic inclusion of forcibly displaced persons and their host communities in Nigeria.

This will be achieved by designing fit-for-purpose and market-relevant solutions that enable target populations to actively engage in agricultural income-generating activities.
