“The Ugandan Government has a very generous model whereby is very welcoming to all brothers and sisters who are coming from the neighbouring countries. They are allowed to have access to land. They have access to work. They have freedom of movement; and that, in itself, gives them hope that they get new opportunities in this country, and those opportunities are shared with the people of Uganda. So, if you look at this model, it’s very promising and we would like to see this model succeeding in Uganda. And we would like to see this model replicated in Africa.”

The World Food Programme (WFP) said it urgently needs 63 million USD to meet the basic food need of some one million South Sudanese refugees in Uganda for the next six months.
WFP said Uganda was now hosting more refugees than any other African country and continued to keep its borders open to those fleeing conflict or persecution. WFP representative in Uganda Elkhidir Daloum said Uganda’s “very generous” model allows refugees to have access to land and work, and have freedom of movement. He said the model was “very promising” and WFP would like to see it succeed in Uganda and “replicated in Africa.”
WFP said Uganda was now hosting some 1.3 million refugees, a million of them South Sudanese including 284,000 arriving this year alone. The Programme said its operation in the country has more than doubled in the last year and has only met the needs of the new arrivals adding that ration cuts have affected some 200,000 refugees who had arrived prior to July 2015.
