List of refugee settlements in Uganda

Uganda is one of the largest refugee-hosting nations in the world, with roughly 1.95 million refugees by October 2025. Most of the refugees in Uganda come from neighboring countries such as South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo due to the economic and political instability. Uganda's policies provide rights to the refugees such as the rights to education, work, own private property, healthcare and other basic social services.

Statistics Almost 50% of refugees in Uganda are located in the Bidi Bidi, Pagirinya, and Rhino refugee settlement camps, located in the northwest region of the country.
