UNHCR & AUCA
Faculty jointly pursues many initiatives that benefit the community outside AUCA. Our faculty have served on panels for UNHCR and provide regular business advice to refugees and disadvantaged members of the community. We further work with both faculty and students to create initiatives to fund and create social enterprises (including a university-wide competition within AUCA) and outside the university. Through SEBA Consulting, we provide large-scale services to World Bank IFC and others that are both financially lucrative and serve the needs of companies and international organizations.
SEBA often works in close collaboration with the UNHCR. Previously, for example, AUCA Faculty worked with UNHCR on a refugee support program, in which AUCA Faculty critically reviewed the business plans brought by these individuals. Additionally, SEBA Faculty has often served on panels for UNHCR Conferences and events, wherein advice and expertise is offered.
