UGANDA HOST AND REFUGEE COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT PROJECT

Hosting refugees as challenging as it is has proved to be, remains a blessing in disguise for the district. On 25th September 2019, we hosted officials from Ministry of Local Government, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea, UNDP Resident Representative, Korea International Cooperation Agency Country Director and Head of Sub Office, UNHCR - Uganda for the launch of the: “ Uganda Host and Refugee Community Empowerment “ Project that will run from 2019 to 2022.“The Korean government deeply understands the suffering of the refugees who have fled their land due to conflicts”. The Korean Ambassador to Uganda.” H E Ha Byung-kyoo "This project strengthens the humanitarian efforts by introducing innovative development interventions for refugee and host communities and targeting local government with a focus on addressing the medium and long term social-economic impacts for displacement which is a critical issue in line with the comprehensive refugee response framework”. The State Minister for Local Government, Jennifer Namuyangu“I see it as a good initiative that is targeting both the host and refugee communities. Gender-based violence is a development concern because when a couple is not in good terms, there won’t be development at the household level which in turn makes it so hard to have development at any other level.” Ag District Community Development Officer, Mawadri RamadhanThe project that is funded by the Government of the Republic of Korea will be implemented by UNDP under the Government of Uganda in two other districts of Lamwo and Obongi.The project aims at promoting economic empowerment of the communities with an emphasis on catering for the socio-economic vulnerability of women and youth in refugee-hosting communities and targeting 7,000 individuals with 36,000 indirect beneficiaries.

YOUTH DAY IN ADJUMANI 2019

What initially seemed like a low turn up eventually turned into a successful event with resolutions made to do more mobilization next year. The International Youth Day 2019 was commemorated with post district celebrations on August 16th at Paridi Stadium.The celebration was held under the theme: “Transforming Education” in partnership with the Danish Refugee Council, Lutheran World Federation, Global Aim, OPM, UNHCR, and Red Cross.Although not so many youths attended as required, leaders went on to make their remarks and hoped that the media would pass their messages or at the very least those in attendance would convey the key messages.The LC3 Chairman Adjumani Town Council, Tadrupasi Patrick, urged the youth to continue embracing the productive use of youth Livelihood funds because they are not future leaders but leaders of today.The Youth council chairperson, Dima Godfrey, applauded the government for prioritizing education through UPE and vocational skilling before adding that education should be competitive at the worldwide level. He also suggested that Village Education Committees be set up and equipped with capacity building trainings to reduce school dropouts and increase enrollment. He also tasked the district to implement government policies and ordinances on betting and gambling.The Vice-Chairman, Anyanzo John Ambayo, advised the youth to abandon betting and instead embrace vocational ventures as they look for their ideal jobs. He also encouraged those still in school to take up studies in Information Technology because soon there will be an abundant need for the skill in the West Nile Region as government as already earmarked a suitable project.The RDC, Taban Data Peter, intimated that his office was in the process of arresting those who stage illegal discos and they could spend up to 40 years in jail. The RDC then rewarded football teams of Mireyi and the town Council who had officially opened the ceremony with a match.
