What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Thomas Tayebwa called on the European Union to increase financial assistance for Uganda's refugee response. He stated that Uganda's 2026 refugee response plan requires approximately $850 million, but only 12 per cent of the necessary funding has been provided by international partners. The appeal was made during a meeting with Members of the European Parliament, Hon. Tineke Strik and Hon. Anna Strolenberg.
