European Union and UNHCR reaffirm strong support to Ugandan refugee response

During a visit by EU and UNHCR officials to the Nakivale refugee settlement recently, in southwestern Uganda, Myriam Ferran, the Deputy Director General of the EU’s Directorate-General for International Partnership (INTPA) announced an additional EUR 15 million in funding to support the Ugandan refugee response in partnership with UNHCR. The announcement was made during a joint EU-UNHCR visit to Uganda led by Myriam Ferran, and UNHCR’s Assistant High Commissioner for Operations, Raouf Mazou. The visit aimed at reaffirming EU and UNHCR’s appreciation of Ugandan’s open-door policy for refugees and the country’s leadership in promoting refugee inclusion. Over the next three years, this additional funding of EUR 15 million, or UGX 61 billion, will notably contribute to strengthening policy, data and evidence, as well as improving the integration of refugees into public service across sectors such as education, health, water and sanitation, and environment. The new allocation is part of ongoing efforts to support initiatives by the Ugandan government to provide solutions for refugees and strengthen the alignment of humanitarian and development assistance for greater sustainability of the refugee response.
