On 28th March 2022, heavy violence erupted in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) due to fighting between the rebel group M23 and DRC government forces.
The violence has caused an unprecedented large-scale influx of refugees into neighboring Uganda, leaving refugees with unmet basic needs in sectors such as food, WASH, education, protection, gender, livelihoods, and peaceful co-existence.
ACT Uganda Forum members LWF, FCA, DCA, and HEKS have launched an appeal to respond to the refugee crisis.
