Contributions to Uganda’s Jobs and Livelihoods Integrated Response Plan (JLIRP)

The CRRF strategic framework has been operationalised through the development of sectoral response plans in the years following its adoption. In 2020, the Jobs and Livelihoods Integrated Response Plan for Refugees and Host Communities in Uganda (JLIRP) was developed through a collaborative process led by the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MGLSD). The JLIRP provides a five-year plan to help operationalize the resilience and self-reliance pillar and achieve the goal of “ensuring refugees and host communities are socially, economically, and financially included in a sustainable manner in local development by 2025.”

As the JLIRP enters its last year of implementation (2024/2025), this report is an overview of relevant initiatives that are contributing to the JLIRP, that are active in 2024, as well as those that have been closed since the previous analysis in the lead-up to the 2023 Global Refugee Forum (GRF).
