Kakuma as a Marketplace presents information for companies looking to enter the substantial, yet mostly untapped market, in Kakuma. Commercial and financial data is necessary for private sector engagement, but there is seldom information available on refugees outside of academic, development, and humanitarian studies. Through its findings, we hope that this study might lay the foundation for private initiatives to harness and strengthen the existing business opportunities in Kakuma to the benefit of the refugees and the host community – and for refugees to lead self-determined lives.
