Abstract
This document provides an executive summary of the report, "Refugees’ Access to Work Permits and Business Licenses in Kenya”. Overall it discusses how Refugees in Kenya are legally allowed to work and run businesses, but face major barriers accessing Class M work permits and business licenses. Business licenses are generally obtainable, while work permits are rarely approved due to unclear information, complex processes, and long delays. Improved guidance, documentation systems, and support are urgently needed.
