Our intervention in Uganda
Uganda continued to host more than 1.5 million refugees and asylum-seekers in 2022, many of whom had fled persecution, conflict, political instability and human rights violations in Burundi, the DRC, and South Sudan.
The rising number of refugees has put pressure on food availability, income opportunities and health services. Nearly 30 per cent of children under five are stunted, and more than half of the population is anaemic. Hunger and malnutrition in Uganda are caused by several factors, including poverty, landlessness, high fertility, natural disasters, and high food prices.
In 2022, Action Against Hunger created 340 Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA) in Uganda, and with our support, these groups collectively saved €511,480.
Our teams also provided climate-smart agricultural supplies to 459 farmer groups, including seeds, irrigation systems, wells, oxen, and ploughs, and we connected farmers with the global supply chain, helping them to sell sunflower grain, cassava, and chillis and generate more than €20,000 in income.
Our teams helped to treat and prevent malnutrition through 50 health facilities and 298 care groups, reaching 33,576 young children and 45,987 pregnant and breastfeeding women. We promoted healthy care and feeding practices and provided food vouchers, immunisations, and maternal health services to improve health and nutrition among refugees and host communities. Action Against Hunger also increased access to safe water, built sanitation infrastructure such as latrines, and improved hygiene practices among individuals and in health facilities.
