Document Type:	Reports and Assessments
Document Language:	English

Uganda, as at the end of October 2017 was hosting more than 1.3 million refugees across 12 districts in the country. The refugees live alongside their Ugandan host’s communities in the settlements. The main objective of the survey was to assess the general nutrition and food security, infant and young child feeding, health and anaemia status of refugees and formulate some recommendations for appropriate nutritional and public health interventions to address and sustain the achievements the programme has registered so far. In the settlements, cross-sectional surveys were conducted in each designated settlement employing systematic random sampling.
