Abstract

This in-depth assessment, drawing primarily on data collected in 2024, examines climate change response strategies in the refugee and host communities of Nyumanzi settlement (Adjumani District). It aims to provide detailed data on perceived local climate impacts, deepen understanding of how vulnerable populations are responding, and equip humanitarian actors with actionable insights for more effective interventions. By focusing on lived experiences on the ground—beyond statistics—the assessment sheds light on the realities faced by these communities. The findings also support advocacy for local climate action and increased climate funding, with a particular focus on health, shelter, and livelihoods (including markets, agriculture, and household labour). Given the similar setup of settlements across northern and north-western districts, and their shared exposure to climate-related hazards, these findings may be indicative of the challenges faced by communities in other settlements as well.
