Uganda: improving the lives of over half a million displaced people
It is estimated that the decade-long conflict in Uganda has forced over 1.7 million people from their homes into camps for the displaced. In February-March 2007, the ICRC distributed substantial aid to some 560,000 displaced people currently living in camps, returning to their homes or resettling after years of displacement.

The ICRC aims to help beneficiaries to become more self-sufficient, however, favourable agricultural conditions and rainfall are also key factors in achieving this goal.
