Uganda Refugee News - August 2021

Updated: Dec 3, 2021


Welcome to Edition 20

Livelihoods is the biggest section this month, a change from the COVID-19 related dominance of the recent past, although obviously this continues to be a significant concern.


And don't forget to make sure you scroll to the bottom this month as we have a special feature on U Learn's new service offering support to refugee response actors by improving learning and increasing the use of evidence and good practice.


it goes without saying that this is something URN certainly agrees with given that the idea behind this newsletter is to provide a round up and share new research and information relevant to or on the Uganda refugee response, to enable all interested or directly engaged in the response to work more effectively and efficiently.


Submissions are extremely welcome – please send to Ugandrefugeenews@gmail.com and wherever possible, they will be included in the next version.


Please share this newsletter with anyone you think could benefit from it and they can sign up to receive it directly by clicking here

The conference will be arranged as a series of online events held between November 15-21, and will focus on activities that centre lived experience, non-academic dialogue and collective reflection. We invite submissions of all kinds, including video pieces, artistic or theatre interventions, podcasts, panels, and presentations, to name a few.If you are interested in participating, please fill out the conference proposal form found here by 26 September, 2021.


Feature: Tailored Evidence and Learning Service (TELS)

What is TELS? TELS is a free service designed to support cross-sectoral learning and the increased use of evidence and good practices in the Uganda refugee response.

Thematic Focus - Support provided through TELS falls under the following thematic areas: self-reliance, participation and the humanitarian-development nexus. Three work streams are prioritised for the April 2021 – March 2022 period: private sector/innovators, cash & social protection, and AAP.

How to request services from TELS - TELS is demand-driven. Refugee response actors can request services from TELS using the on-line application form

TELS services -

  2. Documentation & research: Capture and systematically document recent experiences and innovations of key actors from the Ugandan context. E.g. Good practice studies, case studies, discussion papers and deep dives.

  3. Synthesis & Summaries: Make existing evidence and knowledge more accessible and synthesised. E.g. Short briefs, fact sheets, visuals, communication style products such as blogs or articles.

  4. Convene: Bring actors together in face-to-face or on-line events to facilitate peer-learning. E.g. round-tables, learning consultations, learning discussions, or dissemination events.
