Target precarious refugee-hosting areas

Identifying the needs of vulnerable populations in neighbourhoods hosting refugees and migrants

What are the dynamics of delivery of and access to services in Kampala’s precarious neighbourhoods? SERVICE DELIVERY ACCESS TO SERVICES What services are available to communities? How do communities access services? What type of services are available to these communities, both within and from outside of the slum areas, for i) education, ii) health, iii) water and sanitation? Who are the key actors providing these services? How can the capacity of these actors be strengthened? Where are these services located? What are the operational challenges and opportunities for these services to better meet the needs of the local users? What are the needs in terms of i) education, ii) health, iii) livelihoods, iv) water and sanitation, v) housing and utilities, vi) social protection, vii) legal assistance? How do the urban community access services both from within and from outside of the slum areas? What are the main challenges? What are the most vulnerable population groups, based on their i) unmet needs, and ii) access to basic services? Among the urban community, what are the specific needs of refugees? What would vulnerable population groups demand to improve their access to services and conditions of living?

Assessment methodology : 4 phases SERVICE DELIVERY ACCESS TO SERVICES ACCESS TO SERVICES REFUGEES SPECIFIC VULNERABILITIES 700 Key Informant Interviews 1350 Household surveys 700 Household surveys 22 Focus Group Discussions All education facilities, health facilities, water points and public toilets and interviews with community leaders 170 randomly chosen households in each area 100+ refugee households in each target area With refugees and host communities A Methodology derived from Urban Multi-sectoral Vulnerability Assessment Tool, The Stronger Cities Consortium, 2017

Composition of slum population, by household status Preliminary findings Composition of slum population, by household status Urban refugees are settled across numerous vulnerable neighbourhoods, rather than concentrated in a single area Accross the target areas, refugees account for 6% of the total number of households. This proportion varies from one area to another. * * With a 90% confidence level and 7% margin of error, based on a simple size of 1350 respondents.

Proportion of refugees by country of origin in the target areas Preliminary findings Proportion of refugees by country of origin in the target areas
