Uganda is one of the largest refugee-hosting nations in the world,[1][2] with over 1,529,904 refugees (as of 28 February 2022[3]).
Most of the refugees in Uganda come from neighboring countries such as South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo[4][5] due to the economic and political instability.
[5] Uganda's policies provide rights to the refugees such as the rights to education, work, own private property, healthcare and other basic social services.
[6] Almost 50% of refugees in Uganda are located in the Bidi Bidi, Pagirinya, and Rhino refugee settlement camps, located in the northwest region of the country.
[7] South Sudan is the origin of 62% of refugees in Uganda, and 29% are from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
