The Uganda Context

Uganda hosts approximately 1.96 million refugees and asylum seekers as of October 2025—the largest refugee population in Africa. With 55% from South Sudan and 31% from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the country demonstrates remarkable hospitality through its progressive refugee policies.

However, urban refugees in Kampala face unique challenges. Of the 157,803 refugees in Kampala, many live-in crowded conditions alongside the urban poor, facing limited funding, insufficient livelihood opportunities, language barriers, and inadequate healthcare access despite the Government’s expectation for self-reliance.
