Operational Context
1.0 CONTEXT
UNHCR Field Office Kibondo is geographically located in Kibondo District, Kigoma region, found in North-Western Tanzania. The office was opened in October 2015 following the Burundi crisis in April 2015 resulting in the displacement of Burundian refugees to neighbouring countries in Rwanda, DR Congo, and Uganda including Tanzania.
In Tanzania, at the time of the initial influx, Burundian refugees were originally hosted in Nyarugusu camp inhabited by 60,000 Congolese refugees and later on, Nduta and Mtendeli camps which used to be former refugee camps, opened in October 2015 and January 2016 respectively. Some relocation from Nyarugusu started with an effort to decongest the Burundian site and transfer the Burundian refugees to Nduta camp. This happened continuously in 2015 and Nduta camp finally reached its maximum capacity. In April 2016, the relocation to Nduta was ceased and the remaining Burundian refugees coming from Nyarugusu were diverted to Mtendeli camp. In September 2016, both Mtendeli and Nduta camps reached their full capacity of 50,000 refugees. However due to continued influx of refugees and delay in finalizing the decision of new camp site by Tanzanian government for the new arrivals, Nduta camp was reopened in September 2016 in order to accommodate additional refugees.
With the need to maintain only one camp between Mtendeli in Kakonko district and Nduta in Kibondo District, and in order to make better use of the available resources as per an agreement between UNHCR and the government of the Tanzania, camp consolidation was initiated. This process was completed on 06 Dec 2021, with a population of 21, 687 refugees relocating to Nduta camp. Therefore, by January 2022, only Nduta camp is hosting refugees in Kibondo district, with Mtendeli camp closed to be handed over to Government of Tanzania. Overall, Tanzania hosts over 126,800 Burundians living in three camps in North-Western Tanzania.
