IHP is in full operational mode in Uganda and Nigeria

The south Sudanese population is facing a dire situation due to the on-going internal conflict. Several hundred thousands have fled to Uganda. The IHP project is about establishing emergency office and accommodation facilities at the refugee settlements in northern Uganda in support of UNHCR. The aim is to facilitate for UNHCR, the Government and humanitarian partners to more effectively be able to operate from these remote locations. The deployment is based on the IHP Base Camp concept but combined with fixed construction. The plan is to establish 2 emergency office/accommodation sites, 1 fixed construction office, and 1 contingency stock to be used by UNHCR for new settlements in the coming months. The IHP-team with MSB and DEMA staff are on the ground and the necessary equipment is being transported to the identified sites. MSB is the IHP lead agency and the project is supported by MSB Sweden, DEMA Denmark. (Photo: MSB – Ground preparations and fencing in northern Uganda)
