FORMAL SETTLEMENT VS EMERGENCY CAMP - Different refugee residence approaches in Uganda and South Sudan

Published by: Scalabrini Institute for Human Mobility in Africa - Filippo Ferraro, Lola Verkuil and James Chapman


This short report attempts to reflect on the lives of those refugees living in Uganda’s refugee settlements. This serves as a case study to illustrate the differences between camps and settlement as an approach to refugee crises. Taking a closer look at the experiences of three people – a refugee representative living in the Palabek settlement in Uganda, a delegate of the Ugandan Ministry of the Office of the Prime Minister, and a Salesian priest working in a IDP camp in Juba, South Sudan – it becomes a little more clear how people staying in either camps or settlements live their lives differently.
