IRC’s Role in Tanzania

For decades, Tanzania has been a place of refuge, hosting one of the largest refugee populations in Africa. The country currently shelters around 287,903 refugees from Burundi and Congo, many of whom fled in 2015 due to the crisis in Burundi. These refugees continue to live alongside local communities in the Kigoma region, with varied needs and challenges. In this context, IRC works to provide vital assistance in areas such as:

  • Protection (including Rule of Law, Women Protection and Empowerment, and Child Protection)
  • Health (including mental health support, psychosocial services, and reproductive health)
  • Education (supporting refugees and host communities with educational programs)
