2016 Plan Summary


The United Republic of Tanzania (Tanzania) faces a number of domestic challenges, including recurrent conflict-induced displacement and refugee influxes from neighbouring countries. In 2016, the geopolitical context will have a bearing on national politics, security, and the rights and entitlements of people of concern.
 
Given the continued deterioration of the security situation in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and lately in Burundi, the Government of Tanzania continues to host and provide protection space to asylum-seekers and refugees. Some 162,150 former Burundian refugees who fled their country in 1972 have been naturalized, and the Government is fully supportive of integrating them into the country, both politically and socio-economically.

In 2016, UNHCR’s priorities will be to provide humanitarian assistance, including livelihoods support, for Congolese refugees in a protracted situation, as well as for newly arrived Burundian refugees; to proceed with the resettlement of vulnerable Congolese refugees; and to further support the local integration of newly naturalized Tanzanians (former Burundian refugees).
 
In case of a funding shortfall in 2016, the sectors most critically affected will include the maintenance of camps, the resettlement of some 6,000 people of concern and support for the local integration process, which includes community projects and other socio-economic and legal services for 200,000 individuals.
