  • [Publication] Gender Relations in the Face of Climate Change and Conflict at the Kenya–Uganda Border

    • Gender Relations in the Face of Climate Change and Conflict at the Kenya–Uganda Border
    • The Kenya–Uganda border region provides a compelling case study for exploring how climate change and various interventions shape conflict and gender dynamics.

    • The majority of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) find themselves displaced for more than five years—either in their own or in neighbouring countries. Of the three durable solutions for these so-called protracted refugee situations—local integration, resettlement in third countries and repatriation—the latter is still considered to be the best option by most stakeholders. Yet, due to the increasing prevalence of protracted conflicts worldwide, voluntary return often is not possibl...
