Kampala serves as a major destination for new arrivals and hosts a large, diverse refugee population, while Kiryandongo became the government-assigned refugee settlement for newly arrived Sudanese refugees after registration closed in Kampala in December 2023. Both locations experience significant influxes, resulting in resource constraints that have been flagged by many response actors.
The Kampala report discusses needs and vulnerabilities among newly arrived refugee and asylum seeker households, registered or unregistered, in Greater Kampala. The nationalities explored in this report are the top five reported: Eritrea, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, and Sudan. Sectors and themes discussed include Demographics, Displacement & Intentions, Protection (general and legal), Livelihoods, Financial Services, Education, Health, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support, and Housing.
The Kiryandongo report covers needs among newly arrived Sudanese refugees in this refugee settlement. Newly arrived households constitute households who reported having arrived in Uganda during or after January 2023, until the end of November 2024. Themes discussed include Demographics, Displacement & Intentions, Protection (general and legal), WASH, Livelihoods, Financial Services, Education, Health, MHPSS, and Shelter.
Both reports were generously funded by ECHO.
