Overview
Koboko Municipality pledged to strengthen inclusive urban planning and service delivery to enhance the participation and well-being of refugees and host communities, under the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF).
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.
