New COMPAS blog piece👇 Uganda is often presented as a success story in the world of refugee management. But what impact has recent ration cuts had on parts of the country? 📜We are delighted to share this article written by experts Eirin Haugseth @Eirinapekatt, @PRIOresearch and PhD Candidate at @NTNU; Kerstin Fisk, Associate Professor at @LoyolaMarymount, California; and Patrick N. Schjølberg, Research Assistant at @PRIOresearch. The co-authors share insights from recent fieldwork in the Central and West Nile regions of #Uganda and analyse how budget cuts from the World Food Programme are hitting some parts of the country particularly hard. The #TRUST project examines how #refugee arrivals affect host perceptions of trust and well-being, combining spatial survey data of close to 300,000 respondents across 37 African countries with new, detailed refugee #settlement data. 🌍compas.ox.ac.uk/article/comm…
