Hintergrundinformation

Uganda hosts an estimated 1,256,729 refugees. It is Africa’s largest refugee hosting country and one of the top five worldwide. Throughout 2018, Uganda has responded to three concurrent influxes: South Sudan, DRC and Burundi. The profile of the refugee population is characterized by a high proportion of women and children, representing approximately 83% of refugees.

The Government of Uganda continues to strengthen the refugee-hosting environment through the Settlement Transformative Agenda included in its five-year National Development Plan II (NDP II 2016-2020) which the UN Development Assistance Framework for Uganda (UNDAF 2016-2020) is supporting. The Government of Uganda launched the CRRF in March 2017 and is guided by the CRRF Roadmap/ National Plan of Action to implement the Global Compact on Refugees 2018-2020. UNHCR is also supporting the Government of Uganda to implement, coordinate and monitor the 2019/2020 inter-agency Uganda Refugee Response Plan together with over 110 partners.
