This study considers the Great Lakes region as comprising the countries of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). With the exception of Tanzania, all of these countries have generated refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in significant numbers since their independence, and all have hosted refugees. The violence during colonial times, followed by conflicts after independence, created cycles of displacement that have devastated lives and livelihoods in the region for decades.1 While Uganda has long hosted significant numbers of refugees from the Horn of Africa (namely, Sudan, South Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia), other Great Lakes countries have mostly provided shelter to refugees from within the region.
