General Background:
Uganda is Africa’s largest refugee hosting country, accommodating over 1.5 million refugees and asylum seekers. The majority are refugees (97.9%), with South Sudanese refugees being the largest group (57%), followed by those from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, and Burundi. Women and children make up a significant portion of the refugee population. Most refugees reside in settlements in underdeveloped districts, while a small percentage live in urban areas, including Kampala.
Uganda has a progressive refugee policy, granting refugees rights such as land for housing and cultivation, access to education, healthcare, and national services, and the freedom to work and own property. The country made six pledges during the Global Refugee Forum in 2019 to support refugee integration and development.
The Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF) in Uganda aligns with the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) and is supported by UNHCR, development partners, and the private sector. Uganda’s National Development Plan III includes refugees, ensuring their inclusion in planning and statistics. Efforts have been made to address refugee needs in education, health, water, and other sectors through inter-sector coordination. Despite its progressive approach, Uganda’s refugee response remains underfunded. The upcoming Global Refugee Forum in December 2023 will provide an opportunity to showcase progress, announce new pledges, and address challenges. Uganda aims to build on its achievements and promote long-term sustainability as it co-convenes the forum with the theme “Uganda, the world’s model for the refugee response: Let’s make it sustainable.”
