Abstract

“Informing the Refugee Policy Response in Uganda” assesses the living conditions of both refugees residing in the country, and the communities that host them. It is based on the 2018 Uganda Refugee and Host Communities Household Survey. The main objective of the report is to inform policy and programming for the national refugee and host communities’ response in Uganda. In addition, it is a collaboration between the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, the Office of the Prime Minister and the World Bank. The survey is representative of the refugee and host community population of Uganda at the national level. Moreover, it is representative of the refugee and host population in the regions of West Nile and South West, and the city of Kampala. The sample frame for hosts was the 2014 Population Census, while UBOS constructed a brand-new sample frame for refugees. A total of 221 sampling units were collocated among the different domains, and for each domain, a stratified random sample based on a systematic sampling approach. At the end, the survey collected data from a total of 2,200 households, in all hosting districts.
