List Of Refugee Camps In Uganda
A refugee camp is a temporary settlement built to receive refugees and people in refugee-like situations. Refugee camps usually accommodate displaced people who have fled their home country, but camps are also made for internally displaced people.
Uganda is one of the largest refugee-hosting nations in the world, with over 1,400,000 refugees (as of February 2020).
The vast influx of refugees is due to several factors in Uganda’s neighboring countries, especially war and violence in South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo), and associated economic crisis and political instability in the region.
Uganda has relatively ‘friendly’ policies that provide rights to the refugees, such as rights to education, work, private property, healthcare and other basic social services.
