South Sudanese refugee children play in a child friendly space in Bidibidi refugee settlement

            South Sudanese refugee children play in a child friendly space in Bidibidi refugee settlement, Uganda.

During an April 2017 visit to South Sudan and Uganda, International Development Secretary Patel visited Imvepi reception centre and Bidibidi refugee settlement in Yumbe, close to Uganda’s border with South Sudan, which is welcoming in thousands of people a day fleeing violence and famine.

Uganda has one of the most progressive refugee policies in the world, where refugees are given land, jobs and integrated into communities, giving people fleeing conflict hope for the future.

UK aid has been instrumental in supporting this by rapidly upgrading infrastructure, hospitals and schools on the Ugandan border with South Sudan as well as delivering emergency food, water, shelter and medicine to respond to the influx in refugees

This is the biggest refugee movement in Central Africa since the 1994 Rwandan genocide and Uganda is now the largest refugee hosting nation in Africa with more than 1,200,000 refugees. Bidibidi currently hosts 270,000 refugees out of the total 683,000 received by Uganda since January 2016.
