Standardized Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) in Kigoma Refugee Camps (Nyarugusu, Nduta and Mtendeli) - October 2018 - Tanzania

Abstract
---------------------------

Tanzania is prone to refugee influxes, often of long duration. Despite facing its own economic challenges, for decades Tanzania has welcomed thousands of refugees fleeing conflicts in neighboring countries of Great Lakes Region. The counties geographic proximity to the strife-torn Congo Basin is responsible in part for the ease access of displaced populations. As well Tanzania was an early signatory in the region to international agreements on the rights and welfare of refugee and asylum seekers.

As of December, 2018, Tanzania host some 284,300 camp-based refugees, 77% of who are children and woman, in Nduta, Nyarugusu and Mtendeli Refugee Camps in Kigoma region in Northwest Tanzania. About 74% are from Burundi, and the remaining 26% are primarily from Democratic republic of Congo.

Following a Tripartite Commission meeting in August 2017, the governments of Tanzania, Burundi, and UNHCR agreed to assist refugees who wish to voluntarily repatriate from Tanzania to Burundi. A subsequent meeting in March 2018 reaffirmed the commitment of both governments and UNHCR to uphold the principle of voluntariness, and noted that while some refugees may opt to return, others will continue to be in need of international protection. The March 2018 Tripartite meeting also produced a work plan entailing the repatriation of approximately 2,000 refugees per week from 5 April to 31 December 2018. As from January to 30th September 2018, a total of 52,260 refugees were assisted to voluntarily repatriate to Burundi from Tanzania in 88 Convoys; bringing the total repatriated from September 2017 to 57,865 of which 57.2% are children.

This is the 5th SENS survey among the refugees in Nyarugusu since the first survey in September 2012 second in September 2014. Assessments in 2016, 2017 and 2018 covered all the three camps of Nyarugusu (old & New Camp), Nduta and Mtendeli. The current survey was conducted as from 16th September to October 13th 2018, with a total of 4 assessments.

摘要
---------------------------
坦桑尼亚易于遭受难民涌入，且这种涌入往往持续时间较长。尽管自身面临着经济挑战，几十年来，坦桑尼亚始终欢迎成千上万的难民，这些难民逃离了周边的非洲大湖区冲突国家。坦桑尼亚与饱受战乱之苦的刚果盆地的地理邻近性，部分解释了难民流动的便捷性。此外，坦桑尼亚是该地区国际关于难民和寻求庇护者权利及福利协议的早期签署国。

截至2018年12月，坦桑尼亚收容了约284,300名营地难民，其中77%为儿童和妇女，他们分别居住在西北部的基戈马地区的恩杜塔、尼亚鲁古苏和姆滕代利难民营地。大约74%的难民来自布隆迪，剩余的26%主要来自刚果民主共和国。

在2017年8月的三方委员会会议之后，坦桑尼亚政府、布隆迪政府和联合国难民署同意协助希望从坦桑尼亚自愿返回布隆迪的难民。2018年3月的一次后续会议重申了两国政府和联合国难民署维护自愿原则的承诺，并指出尽管一些难民可能会选择返回，但其他人将继续需要国际保护。2018年3月的三方会议还制定了一份工作计划，该计划从2018年4月5日至12月31日每周协助约2,000名难民自愿返回。截至2018年1月至9月30日，共协助88个车队的52,260名难民从坦桑尼亚自愿返回布隆迪；从2017年9月至今，总共57,865人被遣返，其中57.2%为儿童。

这是自2012年9月的首次调查以来，在尼亚鲁古苏难民的第五次调查。2016年、2017年和2018年的评估涵盖了尼亚鲁古苏（旧营和新营）、恩杜塔和姆滕代利三个营地。本次调查于2018年9月16日至10月13日进行，共进行4次评估。
