Danish Refugee Council

South Sudanese refugees in Kenya and Uganda are adapting to deep cuts in humanitarian aid by either staying in camps and adjusting their practices or moving in search of food security. A study by the Danish Refugee Council found that refugees in Uganda's rural camps can subsistence farm and survive, while those in Kenya's camps can access better cash flows and start small businesses. In Uganda, cultural and linguistic similarities between refugees and local hosts facilitate integration and self-reliance through intermarriage and land use arrangements. In contrast, Kenya's restrictions on mobility make it difficult for refugees to explore options in South Sudan. Loans have become essential in household economies, forcing many to return to South Sudan to escape debt. Social networks play a crucial role in refugees' decisions to stay or move, with support from local networks often determining their choice.

A protection monitoring report by the Danish Refugee Council in Colombia from January to March 2026 has identified risks to vulnerable populations, including refugees, migrants, internally displaced persons, returnees, and those affected by the armed conflict. The report, which includes findings from household surveys, key actor interviews, focus groups, and direct observation, aims to inform the ongoing and future humanitarian response. The report's findings will help identify individuals at higher risk and provide targeted support, as well as strengthen evidence-based advocacy to ensure the fulfillment of protection obligations by duty bearers. The report covers the departments of La Guajira, Nariño, Norte de Santander, and Bolívar.
