Overview
Koboko Municipality is implementing the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF): Inclusive Urban Development and Mobility to enhance inclusion and participation of refugees and displaced persons in economic and social lives, and improved livelihoods and greater access to quality basic social services (education and health) for refugees and the host population in Koboko Municipality.
The CRRF aims to strengthen the inclusion and participation of displaced persons refugees in the economic and social life in Koboko Municipality and improve livelihoods and greater access to quality basic services for refugees and the host population in Koboko Municipality.
Expected Impact
To increase the safety and well-being of refugees and host communities in Koboko Municipality and reduce the inequalities between these groups.
Reported Impact [as of November 2025]
Funded by the EUTF for Africa and implemented with partners including Koboko MC, ACAV, and Cities Alliance, the initiative has achieved significant results since 2021, reaching over 41,000 beneficiaries, increasing perceptions of inclusive access to municipal services from 44% to 94%, and fostering refugee participation in local governance structures.
Despite persistent funding, coordination, and policy challenges—particularly the lack of legal recognition for urban refugees outside Kampala—the action demonstrated that locally led planning and partnerships can drive social cohesion and equitable urban development.
Priority Objectives
Improving migration governance and forced displacement protection
Providing access to urban infrastructure, social services, and education regardless of status
Realising socio-economic inclusion
