L-R: Dr. Misaki Wayengera-MoH-National COVID Taskforce, Dr. Gloria Seruwagi-REFLECT Study PI and Mr. Thomas Mugweri-Kyegegwa District COVID Taskforce engage the community on Britop Radio 94.1 FM in December 2020.

Makerere University researchers and local leaders have asked government and other key stakeholders in refugee management to address community drivers of non-compliance to COVID-19 guidelines as increased cases continue to be registered across the country. This call was made at the dissemination event of the Refugee Lived Experiences, Compliance and Thinking (REFLECT) in COVID-19 study undertaken at multiple sites in Kisenyi (Kampala), Kyaka II Refugee Settlement (Kyegegwa) and Adjumani (West Nile) on 14th December 2020.
