Welcome to Edition 27

As more and more refugees from Congo continue to cross into Uganda, funding to ensure an effective response remains elusive. With budgets further stretched, I hope this newsletter helps in some small way to keep the information flowing and increase and improve decision-making and strategizing. On that note, please check out the free training opportunities identified and to be found at the bottom of the email. Submissions are always welcome – please send to Ugandrefugeenews@gmail.com and wherever possible, they will be included in the next version. To sign up - please click here
