Livelihoods & ResilienceUganda Refugee Response Plan (RRP) 2019-2020
RRP partners in the Livelihoods and Resilience Sector (LRS) endeavor to stabilize and build diversified, sustainable and resilient livelihoods, with emergency livelihood interventions serving as a basis to develop longer-term strategies. In acknowledging that the duration of their displacement is not closely related with their degree of vulnerability, emergency livelihood support targets new refugee arrivals and vulnerable long-term refugees. In line with individuals’ skills, knowledge and aspirations, emergency livelihood support promotes immediate job creation, supported by initial capacity building.
As most new arrivals identify agriculture as their primary livelihood at the point of arrival, livelihood interventions remain largely focused on agricultural production and stabilizing the livelihoods of refugee households, building on their knowledge and skills. Notable progress is being made to meet targets of supporting newly arrived refugees and vulnerable households. Thus, improve-ments in reducing reliance on coping strategies are observed for both Congolese and South Sudanese refugees and their host communities. Of important note is the under-service of Burundian refugees for whom many 2019 targets were not reached.
Strategic investment in micro and small enterprises remains crucial to support value chains and sustainable job creation. Key areas needing greater funding include: building sustainable and resilient livelihoods linked to local, regional and national markets, access to sustainable employment (as opposed to short-term labor-intensive public works), strengthened community capacity to manage infrastructure and an increased engagement of local government and private sector to deliver services (e.g. agriculture extension and registration of small businesses) to refugees and host communities.
