Uganda is at an important crossroads. Decades of welcoming and hosting refugees through an exemplary open-door and rights respecting framework is starting to reach the limits of sustainability. The impact on refugees and Ugandans hosting them is worsening socio-economic outcomes and lives stuck in a cycle of aid dependency. Decisive action is needed now to pivot the response to one of long-term funding and planning, towards durable solutions and greater prosperity for all. This report brings refugees’ perspectives and lived realities to the forefront of discussions and strategies on how to better support them to achieve durable solutions, in policy and practice. Our findings show that, without a structured long-term development response, current simmering tensions over land and resources will likely boil over into escalating communal conflict, irreparable environmental degradation, and extreme poverty. The steady reduction in humanitarian assistance is already pushing all communities into negative coping mec
