Refugees: Refugee Household

refugees: In-kind food receiving household adds 850 dollars, according to Global Times China. The report dubbed "Economic Impact of Refugees Settlement in Uganda" also showed that the land that government gives one refugee household generates up to 220 dollars annually for the local economy. "Now we can say with confidence that when the government provides land to refugees, and WFP provides cash, incomes multiply and spread economic benefits to both the refugees and the Ugandan communities that have welcomed them," said Cheryl Harrison, WFP Deputy Country Director. The UN World Food Programme study carried out by researchers from University of California, Davis showed that each cash-receiving refugee household adds up to 1,100 US dollars to the local economy annually. She said the impact will be higher next year as the number of cash beneficiaries will be increased from the current 65,000 to 200,000 people. Uganda is globally acclaimed as having one of the best refugee policies that can be a model to the rest of the world regarding the management of displaced people. Edward Taylor, the lead researcher, said the cash transfer and local purchase from the host communities has multiplier effects like stimulating agricultural growth. (news.financializer.com).
