    REFUGEE ECONOMIC POLICY FRAME WORK AND THEIR LIVELIHOOD IN UGANDA. A CASE STUDY OF REFUGEES IN ARUA CITY.
    (Uganda Christian University, 2025-09-29) AJULE APOLLO
    This study examined the refugee economic policy framework on livelihood of refugees in Uganda with special interest on refugees in Arua city. The study was guided by three objectives: to examine the access to employment on the livelihood of refuges in Arua city; examine the access to land on livelihood of refugees in Arua city and asses access to financing on livelihood of refugees in Arua city. A cross sectional research design was used. The study applied both quantitative and qualitative approaches in the collection of data. The study considered a population of 700 with a sample size of 248 obtained using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table. The study used questionnaire survey and interviews for collecting data. The findings of the study revealed that; access to employment had a positive significant influence on livelihood of refugees (r=0.378; p=0.000); access to land had a positive significant influence on livelihood of refugees (r=0.668; p=0.000); and access to financing has a positive significant influence on livelihood of refugees (r=0.486; p=0.000). The study recommends that; Arua city authorities should tighten measures that safe guard employees especially refugees from segregation. Policies should be adopted to protect employees who are refugees. Also, the city authorities should create opportunities of employment in both formal and informal sector and these opportunities should be available to both refugees and the host community; land to refugees should be made available to enable refugees to engage in agricultural activities for their food. Also, those purchasing land should be aided by either the government or the humanitarian agencies to enable enough productive land for their business. Besides purchasing land, the government should also consider leasing or granting them free land for their business establishment since their stay may not be permanent in the area; and access to administrative services should be enhanced and simplified to avoid bureaucratic tendencies that delay business establishment processes. Also, the city Authorities should encourage refugees to form business clubs among themselves like village savings and loan associations.
