@pwatchug Please correct the record. I represent Bwamba in Bundibugyo District, not Kisoro District. Thank you

@katabaazi25 @upfsp @achiengakena @NdahiriweInnoc5 @OPMUganda @UNHCRuganda @IntRefRights @WorldVisionUg @EUinUG I entirely agree with you. We can’t effectively continue to purportedly plan for refugees without their meaningful contributions to the plans meant to benefit them. There must be meaningful engagement of the refugees and/or their leaders.

@RungiNK @upfsp @achiengakena @NdahiriweInnoc5 @EUinUG @UNHCRuganda @OPMUganda @IntRefRights @Refugees I agree with you

@jwamimbi @HonFlavia @upfsp @achiengakena @NdahiriweInnoc5 @OPMUganda @IntRefRights @UNHCRuganda @ESPprogramme I agree with you. There must be specific targeted interventions for the refugees, especially in regards to awareness raising and information dissemination, taking into account their unique communication challenges

@upfsp @achiengakena @NdahiriweInnoc5 @OPMUganda @IntRefRights @UNHCRuganda @ESPprogramme Some of the refugees from very distant countries have challenges in accessing key information about the pandemic due to language barriers. A number of them have to struggle understanding the awareness and prevention messages on radios and TVs.

@upfsp @achiengakena @NdahiriweInnoc5 @OPMUganda @IntRefRights @UNHCRuganda @ESPprogramme The often congested living conditions and the limited variety of foods available to them makes them even more vulnerable to the pandemic

@upfsp @achiengakena @NdahiriweInnoc5 Psychologically, they are also affected especially when the think of their relatives they left behind and those who took refuge in different areas.

@upfsp @achiengakena @NdahiriweInnoc5 In my opinion, it is a double tragedy for the refugees and other displaced persons.The COVID 19 restrictions just added to the already difficult conditions they were going through
