Highlights

Uganda is home to over 1,460,000 refugees from South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi and Somalia. The increasing influx of refugees has put a strain on the already existing resources and services in the refugee-hosting districts. The Study aimed at assessing child poverty, deprivation and social service delivery among refugees and host communities in selected districts of Arua, Yumbe, Adjumani, Kamwenge, Isingiro and Kampala.
