The Secretary General of United Nations (UN) António Guterres is expected to arrive today in the country for the Refugee Solidarity Summit that starts tomorrow.

The summit will also be attended by a number of dignitaries, including five heads of state. Mr Guterres, upon arrival, accompanied by Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda are expected to visit the Imvempi Settlement Camp in Arua District. The camp has a refugee population of about 110,000 spread out in 20 villages but can still accommodate another 50,000 refugees.

UN seeks to raise at least $2b (Shs7 trillion) to fund relief operations for the more 1.2 million refugees Uganda is hosting. The UN team will be led by Mr Guterres, accompanied by UN agency for refugees commissioner Filippo Grandi, World Food Programme executive director David Beasley and UN Women executive director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, among other officials from NGOs working across the world, development organisations and international and financial institutions.
