06 Jun Uganda Refugee News – September 2021
Welcome to Edition 21
This month's newsletter seems a bit ‘lite' but that might be a reflection of the researcher rather than the reality of how much research is out there – who knows!
But the good news is, If more information is discovered after this has gone out, it will be added to the online version of the newsletter, that you can find – along with all the previous editions – on the website
Submissions are extremely welcome – please send to Ugandrefugeenews@gmail.com and wherever possible, they will be included in the next version.
Please share this newsletter with anyone you think would be interested and they can sign up to get it directly by clicking ,here

CEEOL.com – African Elderly Refugees' Perspectives on Needs Assessment and Response Processes in Refugee Camps in Uganda – The findings of the study show that older persons perceive themselves as being selectively supported, while they also notice that there are no clear criteria to identify their needs which are not prioritized, support groups exclude some of the older refugees, and there are no specific organizations that work with older refugees. The recommendation is that older people should feel included in all decisions that target them throughout intervention programs or support projects cycles.
