DREAMS Project Overview:

Delivering Resilient Enterprises and Market Systems (DREAMS) for refugees provides an innovative solution that will drive refugee self-reliance. DREAMS will equip the most vulnerable refugees with the security and dignity that comes from providing for one’s family. The program integrates two proven models –poverty graduation and Market Systems Development –layering these approaches in a new way that will ensure that the poorest refugee households are able to improve their income and well-being significantly.

Graduation provides the capital and skills to support refugees as they establish their businesses, and Market Systems Development helps to build market access pathways to ensure those businesses can be successful.
