In order to facilitate collaboration between national-level and settlement-level stakeholders, U-Learn maps actors that operate in refugee settlements across Uganda, and makes the information publicly available
The Uganda Response Innovation Lab (U-RIL) is an interactive tool to bridge the skills gap in refugee and host communities in Uganda. A multitude of skilling programmes exist, but they’re scattered, information about them is not readily accessible, and there is limited coordination which contributes to a persistent skills gap. USE provides a central hub where organizations can share their information and where those looking to upskill can access opportunities, filtered by location.
The Climate and Energy Actor mapping highlights organizations supporting climate resilience in Uganda’s refugee response, fostering collaboration and connecting stakeholders to improve environmental efforts in refugee settlements.
Localisation is a priority of the Uganda refugee response and a Grand Bargain commitment.
