Uganda's Refugee-Hosting Districts Face Environmental Degradation
WHY IT MATTERS
Effective land management is crucial for the self-reliance of refugees and the resilience of host communities in Uganda's refugee-hosting districts.
What happened
A recent report by the Uganda Learning, Evidence, Accountability, and Research Network highlights the critical role of land access and use in Environmental and Natural Resources Management (ENRM) in Uganda's refugee-hosting districts. The report explores how land scarcity, intensive cultivation, and demand for biomass contribute to environmental degradation, affecting agricultural productivity, food security, and refugee self-reliance.
Emerging approaches, such as climate-resilient seed varieties, resilient land design, and Optimised Land Use (OLUM), are identified as potential solutions. The report provides practical recommendations for strengthening climate resilience, securing land tenure, and scaling sustainable land management practices.
These efforts aim to mitigate the impact of environmental degradation on refugees and host communities.
