The influx of refugees is reported to have had a range of environmental impacts and associated challenges, including land degradation and woodland loss, resulting in inadequate access to energy for cooking and competition with local people for water and other natural resources. Supporting more sustainable use of those resources, especially forests and other woodlands, could help address environmental degradation and improve energy access.
The World Bank commissioned the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to undertake a rapid assessment of natural resource degradation around the refugee settlements in northern Uganda, with a focus on forest resources, and to identify possible interventions to mitigate pressure on the environment and support energy access for both the refugee and host communities.
This Technical Report summarizes the main findings and recommendations of the assessment. These are
expected to guide World Bank support to the Government of Uganda – including the Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project (DRDIP) and an IDA disbursement window for refugee-affected countries – as well as providing information of wider strategic value to other agencies concerned with the impacts of refugees on natural resources in Uganda.
