Uganda’s Vision 2040 seeks to transform the country into a modern, prosperous, upper‑middle‑income economy, but progress is constrained by high multidimensional poverty, rapid population growth, youth unemployment and significant food insecurity—particularly in regions like Karamoja. Hosting 1.9 million refugees further strains already limited services and resources. WFP’s 2026–2030 country strategic plan responds to these challenges by focusing on improving access to nutritious food, strengthening food systems and expanding resilient livelihoods for both refugees and Ugandans. The plan emphasizes integrated, multisectoral and risk‑informed approaches, aligned with national strategies and the UN cooperation framework, and leverages partnerships with communities, government institutions, the private sector and development actors. The strategy centres on three outcomes: 1) ensuring vulnerable refugees and crisis‑affected populations have equitable access to safe, adequate nutrition before, during and after crises; 2) supporting refugees and Ugandans—especially women and youth—to build diversified, resilient livelihoods and stronger food systems; and 3) enhancing government capacities in social protection, school feeding, nutrition and disaster risk management. Grounded in humanitarian–development–peace principles, the plan prioritizes marginalized groups and integrates nutrition, protection, equality, environmental sustainability and accountability to advance self‑reliance and sustainable, government‑led solutions.
