Our intervention in Uganda
Uganda is home to 1.6 million refugees and asylum-seekers – Africa’s largest such population. But it is also the third most nutritionally vulnerable region in East Africa, with a global acute malnutrition rate of 20.2 per cent and significantly high anaemia rates. Children under five are particularly vulnerable.
Acute food insecurity is also a pressing concern, impacting 5.4 million people.
In 2023 Action Against Hunger continued to provide lifesaving interventions to strengthen nutrition, food security, livelihoods, resilience, and water, sanitation, and hygiene in several refugee-hosting districts. We tackled malnutrition through comprehensive programmes, offering treatment for moderate and severe acute malnutrition and promoting breastfeeding and proper child feeding practices. Our teams also trained health staff and parents to detect and prevent malnutrition. In 2023, we supplied 58 health facilities with nutrition staff, essential medicines, and supplies to identify and treat malnutrition.
We also worked with communities to increase their self-reliance and build resilience to future shocks, scale up modern agricultural practices and systems to mitigate climate change, and to improve food production through innovative technologies, climate-smart agroecological approaches, and support for farmers.
We also built capacity, helped people build their skills in farming and other income-generating activities, developed value chains, and strengthened markets for high-value crops. Action Against Hunger also established and supported village savings and loans programmes and established solar irrigation systems to benefit 65,000 families.
In addition, we promoted irrigation and innovative handwashing solutions, constructed latrines to reduce open defecation, and provided sanitation and hygiene kits. And our advocacy team worked to influence the development of policies on nutrition, water and sanitation, and food security and livelihoods to reduce hunger and vulnerability for refugees and Ugandans.
