Background

  • Children, including adolescents, and young people in Uganda compose about 70% of its population. However, this group of population is one of the most vulnerable due to weak systems for the provision of education and social services. Uganda is also the biggest refugee-hosting country in the continent with a refugee population of 1,5 million. spread across 12 refugee-hosting districts and towns. Moreover, from January to mid-August 2022, Uganda has received over 89,000 new refugee arrivals fleeing war and persecution in South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 66% of them were children. Refugee hosting districts have limited capacity to provide adequate social services, including but not limited to education & skills training, child protection and social protection services, water, sanitation, and hygiene services. The government system at large in its current form remains overwhelmed to provide adequate services and livelihood opportunities to facilitate access to such services. Human, financial, and technical resources on the side of government at the national, district, sub-county, and community levels remain inadequate to respond to the needs of host communities and refugee children. As a result, refugee and host community children face several challenges with access to essential services, including education, health services, protection from violence, limited access to water, and limited livelihood opportunities.
