Uganda

In 2011, some five years after the collapse of the Lord’s Resistance Army insurgency, Uganda has reinforced stability in its troubled North, bringing 20+ years of insecurity and displacement to a close. Action Against Hunger has provided a range of support to the 1.8 million people leaving the displacement camps to return to their ancestral homes—a massive migration that has multiplied the needs for clean water, sanitation, and agricultural and livelihood support.
