Uganda Country Refugee Response (UCRRP): Underfunded Report 2024

Attachments

The overall demand for humanitarian aid continues to outpace the available resources, underscoring the persistent and growing needs of the forcibly displaced population in Uganda. Despite some recent positive funding developments in certain sectors, the impact of underfunding remains profound. This often results in inadequate access to essential services such as healthcare, food, and shelter, exacerbating the suffering of the most vulnerable forcibly displaced individuals and communities. Additionally, the ongoing increase in the refugee population requires humanitarian partners to do more with less, stretching their resources even thinner and making it increasingly challenging to meet the escalating needs. This document provides an overview of the situation through key statistics in the refugee response, the impact of underfunding, and the minimal levels of funding required to sustain it.
