🌍 From displacement to decision-making.
In this episode of the Samuel Hall Stories Podcast, we hear from Dr. Wilson Sanya, Mayor of Koboko, Uganda — a city where refugees don’t just live, but lead.
We discuss:
✔️ How Koboko redefined refugee inclusion as governance, not just aid
✔️ The pioneering “Koboko Model” of direct donor funding to municipalities
✔️ How refugees and host communities co-created services like the Trauma Healing Centre
✔️ Why cities are the “dealers of hope” in the face of climate change and displacement
With 70% of displaced people living in cities today, this is more than a local story, it’s a roadmap for inclusive urban futures.
