Uganda’s distinctive and inclusive approach towards refugees has garnered widespread recognition, despite facing internal challenges. The nation’s steadfast commitment to an open-door policy has made it the world’s third largest refugee-hosting country in 2020. Studies on refugee integration have triggered debates in Global South settings. This study aims to trace Uganda’s inclusive policies, with a particular focus on education, which functions as an indicator of the country’s intention regarding such policies. The government actively seeks both international and domestic influence, positioning itself as a leader in inclusive refugee policy. However, a notable discrepancy exists between policy design and its implementation on the ground, suggesting that Uganda’s pursuit of ‘local integration’ does not necessarily align with traditional durable solutions. Instead, it adopts a long-term policy without a clear vision for authentic refugee integration and considers the possibility of repatriation. Given the global trend towards prioritizing substantive aid over a rights-based approach, the study finds that Uganda’s potential to serve as a pioneering model for the Global South is contingent upon sustained and robust international humanitarian assistance with vigilant oversight, critical in enhancing the effectiveness of its integration policies.
Abstract
Uganda’s distinctive and inclusive approach towards refugees has garnered widespread recognition, despite facing internal challenges. The nation’s steadfast commitment to an open-door policy has made it the world’s third largest refugee-hosting country in 2020. Studies on refugee integration have triggered debates in Global South settings. This study aims to trace Uganda’s inclusive policies, with a particular focus on education, which functions as an indicator of the country’s intention regarding such policies. The government actively seeks both international and domestic influence, positioning itself as a leader in inclusive refugee policy. However, a notable discrepancy exists between policy design and its implementation on the ground, suggesting that Uganda’s pursuit of ‘local integration’ does not necessarily align with traditional durable solutions. Instead, it adopts a long-term policy without a clear vision for authentic refugee integration and considers the possibility of repatriation. Given the global trend towards prioritizing substantive aid over a rights-based approach, the study finds that Uganda’s potential to serve as a pioneering model for the Global South is contingent upon sustained and robust international humanitarian assistance with vigilant oversight, critical in enhancing the effectiveness of its integration policies.
