Uganda houses the highest number of individuals forcibly displaced in Africa as well as some of the largest refugee populations worldwide.
Since 2016, Uganda has seen a significant influx of refugees. As of June 2022, Uganda hosted over 1.5 million refugees. Around 60% came from neighbouring South Sudan. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is ranked as the second leading origin of refugees living in Uganda, with approximately 440,400 Congolese citizens having searched for asylum in Uganda so far.
Poverty is widespread in Uganda, with over 27% of the population being multidimensionally poor. According to UNHCR, at least 80% of refugees in Uganda live below the international poverty line. Dependency rates in Nakivale are high, and refugees may become dependent upon humanitarian assistance if interventions do not focus on resilient livelihoods. Both refugee and host communities struggle to sustain livelihoods due to limited access to capital and productive assets and a lack of vocational training.
The Refugees: Innovation, Self-Reliance & Empowerment (RISE) programme addresses challenges preventing refugees from developing resilient livelihoods. This capacity building program led by Opportunity International UK and Opportunity Bank of Uganda aims to provide these groups with financial tools and training to improve their livelihoods.
This summary video provides some highlights from the six participatory videos created in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in October 2023.
