Refugee settlement population (20 MARCH 2017) bidibidi, Rhino, Palorinya, IMVEPI Bidibidi Settlement 272,206 refugees Rhino Settlement 86,770 refugees Palorinya Settlement 146,367 refugees Imvepi Settlement 40,864 refugees
Operational status Imvepi settlement currently receiving refugees New approach was tested, but led to congestion of transit facilities Decongestion took place over the last week; standard procedures now being applied again 90,000 reasonable carrying capacity Lamwo settlement will be opened during the first half of April; settlement opening letter to be issued shortly “hybrid approach” to be piloted with dedicated jhost community support from the start 30-50,000 current reasonable carrying capacity Palorinya (Moyo district) still receiving arrivals from Elegu and Lamwo district (this flow will be redirected to Lamwo settlement once open)
Priorities and gaps Imvepi: Strengthen and accelerate response at settlement level outside the RC – current response too slow and inadequate Responders assigned to Lamwo to prioritise rapid efforts to open reception at the site Emergency response, communal structures (schools, health centres, child-friendly spaces, ECDs, community centres) – all partners to always use a semi-permanent approach at least; no plastic sheet roofing on communal structures Infrastructure support for the seven settlement areas opened since July 2016 to replace plastic sheet structures – gap analysis ongoing
Response support Inter-agency base camp support is being mobilised for Imvepi and Lamwo, possible IHP support (tbc) Uganda Refugee Response Coordination Portal under development – visual analysis; sector support; response information “one-stop shop” for all refugee responses in Uganda
