Uganda

Uganda has made progress in reducing poverty over the past two decades. Nevertheless, it still ranks 159th out of 188 countries on the Human Development Index. The country is also affected by extreme droughts and frequent crop failures. At the same time, Uganda is the largest host country for refugees in Africa.

Our colleagues at the regional office in Kampala support projects involving humanitarian aid, disaster prevention and development cooperation in Uganda. These projects aim to strengthen food security, establish sustainable agricultural practices and improve the living conditions of refugees, among other things.
