Support Refugee Response Coordination.
Join us in strengthening Uganda's refugee response — one of the coordination mandates supported by PCMS.
Uganda has long been recognized as one of the most progressive refugee-hosting nations in the world, offering sanctuary to over 1.5 million refugees—primarily from South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Burundi.
The increasing number of arrivals, coupled with limited resources, has strained Uganda's refugee response system. Effective government coordination is critical to ensuring sustainable support for both refugees and host communities.
