Self-Settled Refugees and the Impact on Service Delivery in Koboko
Self-Settled Refugees and the Impact on Service Delivery in Koboko Municipal Council Empowering Refugee Hosting Districts in Uganda: Making the Nexus Work II2 Empowering Refugee Hosting Districts in Uganda: Making the Nexus Work Foreword This report ‘Self-Settled Refugees and the Impact on Service Delivery in Koboko Municipal Council’ comes in a time when local governments in Uganda are grappling with the effects of refugees who have moved and settled in urban areas. As a country we have been very welcoming to our brothers and sisters who have been seeking refuge and we are proud to say that we have been able to assist the ones in need. Nonetheless, we cannot deny that refugees have been moving out of the gazetted settlements and into the urban areas, which has translated into increasing demands on the limited social amenities and compromises the quality of life for both refugees and host communities, this whilst the number of self-settled refugees continues to grow. This report aims to address the effects the presence self-settled refugees have on urban areas and the shortfalls local governments face in critical service delivery areas like education, health, water, livelihoods and the protection of self-settled refugees if not properly catered for. So far, it has been difficult for the local governments to substantiate such cases in the absence of reliable data. We are therefore very pleased to finally have a reference document, which addresses the unnoticed and yet enormous challenges faced by urban authorities hosting refugees, such as Koboko Municipal Council. This document provides us with more accurate and reliable data, which will better inform our planning, and enhances our capacity to deliver more inclusive services. -

Narrating and Practising the State Border Between Uganda and Southern Sudan
Narrating and practising the state border between Uganda and Southern Sudan Julian Hollstegge ([email protected]) Royal Holloway, University of London (MA Cultural Geography) Introduction This paper focuses on the reconfigurations and dynamics around the state border between Uganda and today's independent Southern Sudan in the pre‐referendum period. The border separates two regions which for much of their colonial and postcolonial history have been politically and economically marginalised within their respective national contexts and have for several decades experienced a considerable amount of conflict and civil war. Within the alleviation of conflict‐related tensions instituted by the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement in Sudan and a new dynamism in cross‐border relations, it takes a look at the state border as both institution and social construct, based on empirical research at a border crossing between Uganda's West Nile and Southern Sudan's Equatoria region1. By looking at border people's everyday practices and narratives and border management performances it seeks to lay bare multiple meanings and the symbolic functions of the border. In doing so, I will first sketch the conceptual and methodological approach, before briefly outlining the historical context of the border. In the main part of this paper, I will present empirical material by linking dominant views and attitudes towards the border ‐ and the other side of it ‐ to the practises of the border management and border people. Border studies and research on African borderlands: Studying border‐related narratives and practices Related to major questions posed in the panel abstract, in here I want to adopt a perspective on the border which focuses on the manyfold ways in which people (and the state, too) attribute meaning, make sense and use of the border.
