Description and results

Description

March 2018 – Uganda hosts the largest number of refugees in Africa, more than 1.4 million, with roughly two thirds of them having arrived from South Sudan since July 2016. This large and rapid influx has strained the humanitarian response capacity in northern Uganda to near breaking. New refugee settlements almost immediately reach full capacity, while service providers struggle to meet the most basic needs of the community. Overall, South Sudanese make up more than three quarters of the refugee population in Uganda (more than 1 million people). With GAC’s support, the Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR) is providing healthcare (including sexual and reproductive health), water and sanitation, protection, and livelihoods opportunities to an estimated 40,000 South Sudanese refugees and host communities in the Lamwo and Moyo districts of Uganda. Project activities include: (1) providing training, equipment and supplies to local health facilities; (2) constructing or rehabilitating household and institutional sanitation facilities; (3) awareness raising campaigns to combat sexual and gender-based violence; and (4) supporting village savings and loans associations and livelihoods training.

Expected results

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved access to healthcare; (2) improved access to sanitation facilities; (3) reduced incidence of sexual and gender-based violence; and (4) improved food security and access to basic needs amongst South Sudanese refugees and host communities in Uganda. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
