“Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) needs persist among the refugee population in Uganda, as most water infrastructure continues to be temporary and families lack adequate and accessible latrines. In 2019, the Global Women’s Institute (GWI) and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Uganda conducted participatory action research on risks of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) among South Sudanese refugee populations in Bidi Bidi and Imvepi Settlements in northwest Uganda. Key WASH-related findings from the study are summarized in this brief.”
