The government of Uganda launched a resettlement exercise for over 13,000 households living in landslide-prone areas across the Bugisu sub-region, including Bududa, Namisindwa, Manafwa, Bulambuli, and Sironko. Each affected household will receive a one-off cash resettlement package valued at sh18 million. The Umukuuka of Bugisu proposed an integrated disaster management framework that would include a supplementary three-year rehabilitation retainer fund of sh750,000 per quarter for each household.
