Abstract: Developing countries, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa, host over three quarters of the world's refugees, with Uganda hosting the most in SSA, predominantly from neighboring countries such as South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, a phenomenon dating back to the 1940s, primarily attributed to persistent conflict, and while hosting refugees can pose economic challenges, literature suggests mixed but generally positive economic effects on hosting countries.
