Policy Brief: Using Socioeconomic Data to Promote Employment Solutions for Refugees in Uganda
Format

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Between 1992 to 2013, the percentage of Ugandan households living in poverty fell by half. Despite this tremendous progress in poverty reduction, a recent economic slowdown and a sharp increase in youth entering the workforce have contributed to weak growth in the labour market. It is against this backdrop that the country’s more than 1 million refugees seek their livelihoods.
