@WFP_Uganda@WFP@OCHAFunds Cash is a strong tool towards building resilience. I have observed great improvements towards self-reliance after the introduction of cash!

🚨URGENT: #Uganda hosts Africa's largest refugee population (1.8M), with 60,000 new arrivals in just 3 months. Due to severe funding shortages, @WFP_Uganda has cut 1 million refugees entirely off from food assistance. Malnutrition has reached critical levels (15 %+) in refugee reception centres, and general food rations have been cut by up to 80%. US$50M is needed to restore this lifeline.
Uganda’s #refugee population has surged from 400,000 in 2014 to 1.8 million in 2024. Despite a progressive refugee policy, many still face dire challenges in livelihood, food security, and economic stability.
More support is urgently needed.
