JOB DETAILS:

In Uganda, the response coordination is held by UNHCR and by the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM). The Uganda government, in coordination with the humanitarian partners, has granted a welcoming policy for all asylum seekers. In the past years Uganda has been affected by a general reduction of humanitarian funds that have triggered a prioritization of the humanitarian assistance. This need to prioritize has been exacerbated by recent global developments, which requires robust, accurate, and timely data. In addition to acute humanitarian needs, the refugee response is increasingly protracted and needs to identify pathways for long-term integration, self-reliance, and resilience of refugees and host communities.
