2 things Betts found:
– the vast majority of refugees is in cities. And this is where refugees live. They are selling back goods and services for Ugandans. They are not just buying from them, they are trading with them;
– refugees are not just hiring themselves but actually hiring others, almost half of the people they employ are Ugandan nationals. They are not just taking jobs, they are also making new ones.
–-> It shows that far from being a burden, refugees are a benefit. They make a really vibrant economic contribution

Et le témoignage d’une femme...
“Refugee is not a good name. Because refugee want to be helped, but a migrant, that would sound good. Because you are just a refugee, you are just nothing”
