The event will provide data findings across studies as well as methodological approaches for generating new insight into the syndemic of interacting social and health disparities linked with water insecurity. Examples include urban refugees in Kampala, and refugees in a rural refugee settlement, where in both contexts young refugees disproportionately experience poverty and restricted access to basic resources, which can potentially put them at greater risk of stress and poor health outcomes.
This event is co-organised by the UNU Institute for Water, Environment and Health and the University of Toronto.
