UGANDA HUMANITARIAN PROFILE 2012

The Uganda humanitarian profile 2012 is the second version after a decision was made to end the Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) in Uganda. It builds on the humanitarian profile for 2011 to provide an update on the humanitarian issues in the country.

UGANDA HUMANITARIAN PROFILE 2011

Based on consultations with the Government of Uganda, the United Nations, the non-governmental community and donor representatives, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) decided in August 2010 that the humanitarian situation in Uganda would no longer warrant a Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) in 2011. Instead, it was agreed that an Inter-Agency Working Group, with participation of the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), should develop a humanitarian profile for Uganda as a tool to guide decision on humanitarian action in 2011. The HCT further noted the opportunity to support the Government’s Peace, Recovery and Development Plan (PRDP) thereby boosting the ongoing recovery and development efforts in Karamoja, Acholi and Teso regions that have been targeted by the CAP in previous years.

The Emergency Response Fund (ERF) managed by OCHA has attracted a total contribution of $883,034, of which $274,363 has been disbursed to Action Against Hunger (ACF), CARITAS and Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS) to respond to the cholera outbreak in Karamoja. Donors to the ERF include Norway, Sweden and The Netherlands. The ERF in Uganda was established to facilitate rapid response at the onset of a new emergency before mainstream interventions are able to come on-line. The Fund supports interventions aimed at saving lives and/or preventing further erosion of livelihood assets and/or coping mechanisms of affected communities. The ERF is at the disposal of local and international NGOs already registered and active in areas of concern.


CONSOLIDATED APPEAL FOR UGANDA 2010 - MID YEAR REVIEW (MYR)

Midway through the 2010 Consolidated Appeal (CAP), the humanitarian context in Uganda remains largely unchanged. While confidence in the sustainability of the current peace has resulted in significant homeward movements by internally displaced people (IDPs) and the closure of three-quarters of the camps, the dearth of basic social services continues to be a fundamental concern in northern Uganda and in Teso. Without significant improvement in their access to such essential services as safe water, sanitation, healthcare, and protection, IDPs returning to villages of origin cannot be said to have found durable solutions to their plight.
