This document outlines various actors and initiatives across East Africa aimed at enhancing support for refugees and vulnerable populations. Key efforts include child protection programs in Uganda, cash transfer systems in South Sudan and Ethiopia, social safety net frameworks in Somalia, and food assistance shifts in Kenya. Notably, the WFP is implementing e-payments in refugee settlements, improving access to resources for thousands of households. Collaboration among organizations like LWF, UNICEF, and Mercy Corps is crucial for providing effective assistance and ensuring the well-being of refugees and host communities.
