Synopsis (short abstract) The Refugee and host community roadmap is a strategic document that outlines FAO's response strategy for supporting refugees and host communities in Uganda. Built on a three-pillar approach of livelihood stabilization, soico-economic empowerment, and creating an enabling environment, the document is the outcome of a collaborative FAO effort that included missions from headquarter and sub-regional officers as well as the support of the Resilience team for Eastern Africa, FAO Uganda staff, and key partners, including the Government of Uganda, DANIDA, the Embassy of Japan, USAID, UNDP, UNHCR, and WFP. The document is expected to serve both as a reference for guiding project formulation and implementation as well as a resource moblization tool. Additionally, the strategy could be used for wider awareness raising about FAO's contribution to refugee and host community response among national and international partners and other UN agencies.

    Uganda is one of the largest refugee hosting countries in Africa, with more than 1.1 million refugees. The Uganda Refugee Policy (2006) and the Refugee Regulations (2010) grant refugees wide-ranging rights hinged on a strategy of allocating refugees land, freedom of movement and the right to seek employment. This policy aims to build refugees’ food, nutrition and income security and self-reliance. The framework provides an opportunity to support early recovery of affected populations and create a foundation for self-sufficiency. Under the leadership of the Office of Prime Minister (OPM) of the Government of Uganda, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and OPM produced a report on the food security, resilience and well-being of refugee and host communities in Northern Uganda in collaboration with the Uganda Bureau of Statics (UBOS), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Food Programme (WFP). The study aims to provide policy makers with evidence-based policy and programming recommendations to support the overall social integration and resilience of refugees in Uganda, in alignment with the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF).

    In August 2017, FAO was asked by the Commissioner for Refugees (Office of the Prime Minister of Uganda) to support the implementation of a socio-economic analysis within the refugees’ settlements and host communities, with the aim of providing a comprehensive assessment of the current state of the refugees’ food security, well-being and resilience. Although refugees in Uganda are given land and mobility rights, their food security remains low, with a high dependency on food aid. The assumption was that by better understanding refugees’ preferences and livelihoods strategies which determine their resilience, it would be possible to unlock the development potential of the land, increase productivity and help them achieve independence and self-reliance.
