No. of vacancies: 01
Deadline: 30 May 2025

Job Details:
Uganda is currently hosting close to 1.8 million refugees and asylum seekers, the largest number in the region. Most have fled civil unrest and conflicts in neighbouring countries of South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Somalia, and Burundi. Refugee flows into Uganda are likely to continue due to ongoing conflicts, violent wars, unrest and human rights violations in neighbouring countries. The vast majority of refugees are hosted in settlements in 12 refugee-hosting districts in northern and mid/south-western Uganda, while 5% of them reside in urban Kampala.
In Uganda, the response coordination is held by UNHCR and by the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM). The Uganda government, in coordination with the humanitarian partners, has granted a welcoming policy for all asylum seekers. In the past years Uganda has been affected by a general reduction of humanitarian funds that have triggered a prioritization of the humanitarian assistance. This need to prioritize has been exacerbated by recent global developments, which requires robust, accurate, and timely data. In addition to acute humanitarian needs, the refugee response is increasingly protracted and needs to identify pathways for long-term integration, self-reliance, and resilience of refugees and host communities.
