Reducing Prejudice Against Refugees Pilot
REFNo: SS662ES
The vast majority (85%) of the world’s political refugees live in developing countries, according to UNHCR. As of early 2019, Uganda was home to over one million refugees from South Sudan, and had the largest refugee/asylum-seeker population in Africa (ACCORD 2019). Uganda has a strong national commitment to hosting refugees that is reflected in its immigration policies, leading some to call it a “melting pot†of regional nationalities. Still, its population faces challenges absorbing these refugees that are common to host countries. Relations are often strained between the refugee population and Ugandans, some of who perceive refugees as unwelcome competition for local resources and services (World Vision 2018; UNHCR 2018; ACCORD 2019).
This study will allow us to better understand the perceptions of Ugandans towards South Sudanese refugees, and measure both the extent of anti-refugee prejudice there and whether a perspective-taking intervention is effective at reducing prejudice. This knowledge will be crucial for understanding how best to design a later, larger study, which could substantially advance knowledge about prejudice reduction towards refugees in Uganda.
Furthermore, this study will provide a useful indication about whether our full version of this study will be able to measure spillover of the treatment through social networks; we will ask respondents in our endline survey about whether and with whom respondents discussed the intervention. Prejudicial attitudes are socially reinforced; changing one person’s mind may be difficult if that person’s peers still hold prejudicial beliefs. Likewise, if many of one’s peers have begun to reconsider their own prejudices, one may be encouraged to do so as well. Our prior work leads us to expect the information to spread widely, and some change in attitudes and behavior, but only for those connected to a treatment recipient via certain kinds of social ties (Larson and Lewis 2017, 2018). Practitioners often assume that interventions spread from a subset of individuals to their broader community through felicitous spillovers. If this pilot is successful, our full study will be among the first to measure whether and how this occurs for prejudice reduction through networks. This knowledge could, among other things, lead to more efficient designs of community prejudice-reduction projects. Moreover, even if spillover effects are not present, the full study will be able to detect how news of the intervention spreads through local networks. Doing so will provide rare, direct evidence of information dissemination through word-of-mouth networks, which is useful for the design of programs aimed at seeding any type of public service message – from news intended to diffuse conflicts, to information about a new technology that promises to better hold politicians accountable or improve public health.
Our pilot study therefore addresses four questions:
(1) What is the extent of anti-refugee prejudice among Ugandans living in villages in West Nile?
(2) Do positions towards refugees correlate with their positions in village social networks?
(3) Can a brief conversation oriented towards taking the perspective of South Sudanese refugees reduce Ugandans’ prejudice toward them? If so, does the effect persist after 2-3 weeks?
(4) To what extent does news spread about this perspective-taking exercise, and through which types of contacts?
