Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 51318, member: 636"] Refugee leaders demand major overhauls to Uganda's broken documentation system after years of bureaucratic nightmares. The activists gathered at Protea Skyz Hotel in Kampala for a crucial meeting about refugee rights across East Africa. Gilaine Masika from Congo shared her 14-year battle with government paperwork that crushed her dreams. She missed university classes chasing refugee ID cards at the Office of the Prime Minister. The documentation mess blocks refugees from getting decent jobs and forces them into volunteer work with zero promotion chances. Esreal Thembo represents the Kyaka II Refugee-led Organizations Network connecting 32 groups and 500 community organizations. He slammed the current system for failing refugees who want to build lives in towns and cities. Digital ID programs remain out of reach while expensive projects like Glow create additional barriers. The network fights for refugees who need real opportunities instead of endless paperwork hassles. Urban refugees face constant roadblocks that prevent them from thriving in their new communities. International Rescue Committee backs the reform push through their Re:BUILD program operating in Uganda and Kenya. Irene Shiundu from IRC calls documentation the foundation of refugee dignity and self-reliance. She wants step-by-step guides and better government oversight to help refugee communities. The organization plans to release a comprehensive report detailing refugee struggles and policy solutions. Uganda hosts 1.8 million refugees who want documentation systems that support their ambitions rather than crush their spirits. [/QUOTE]
