Appeal - Tanzania
Assistance to Burundian Refugees in Kibondo - AFTZ21
Appeal Target: US$ 268,684
Geneva, 2 July 2002


Despite the signing of the Arusha Peace Accord in August 2000 the civil
conflict in Burundi continues.  In January 2002, the UNHCR began
facilitating a "voluntary repatriation" to relatively peaceful areas of
northern Burundi but the population that have returned so far numbers only
2,170.  This is primarily due to the fact that most of the Kibondo
refugees are from south-eastern provinces of Burundi, where the levels of
fighting and insecurity are the highest

The Burundian refugee emergency in Kibondo started in early 1994 after the
October 1993 attempted coup that resulted into the death of the
democratically elected president.  The ethnic violence that followed
witnessed a massive movement of refugees into Tanzania.  ACT member
Tanganyika Christian Refugee Service (TCRS) in collaboration with UNHCR,
has been running the Kanembwa and Mkugwa refugee camps since 1994.  TCRS
set up two additional refugee camps at Mtendeli and Nduta in 1996 and a
further camp at Karago at the end of 1999.  The current Kibondo caseload
is approximately 150,000 Refugees.

Despite the fact that conditions in Burundi do not yet allow for the
promotion of repatriation, TCRS would like to assist those who wish to
return at their own risk to the safer northern areas. However, it is
expected that the current population will not decline significantly over
the rest of the year.  The life of the refugees remaining in the camps is
filled with constraints and hardship.  Over the last 3 years the funding
for the Burundian refugees has decreased to the point that basic needs
provision has dipped below the generally accepted humanitarian standards.
Even more drastic cuts are planned in the "less-essential" areas of
refugee education, self-sufficiency and peace and reconciliation.

Therefore, TCRS is proposing an assistance programme that comprises
activities vital for refugee well-being and dignity, as well as the
eventual healing of the root causes of the ethnic conflict.

- Replacement of deteriorated Water and Sanitation facilities
- Replacement of worn out cooking utensils
- Information and resource centres on the situation in Burundi
- Facilitation of repatriation
- Peace education and conflict transformation
- Advocacy - rights of refugees in Tanzania and returnees to Burundi
- Capacity building of TCRS' national partners

REQUESTING ACT MEMBER INFORMATION

Tanganyika Christian Refugee Service (TCRS)



IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER AND PARTNER INFORMATION

Tanganyika Christian Refugee Service (TCRS) was established in 1964 as the
Tanzanian country programme of the Lutheran World Federation Department of
World Service (LWF/DWS).  LWF/DWS is committed to transforming its field
programmes to local structures in the interest of sustainability and local
empowerment.  Current plans are that TCRS will evolve into an autonomous
national NGO of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT) from
late 2004 or early 2005.  A national board made up of members appointed by
LWF/DWS and ELCT was established in 1998 to oversee the work of TCRS, and
it is planned that this board will be the future governance structure of
the national NGO.  TCRS has a long experience of refugee, emergency relief
and development work in Tanzania, the most recent ACT appeal implemented
by TCRS was the Northern Tanzania Draught Response AFTZ02, Oct 2000
through Dec 2001.



DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION

Background - The Burundian refugee emergency in Kibondo started in early
1994 after the October 1993 attempted coup that resulted into the death of
the democratically elected president Melchior Ndadaye.  The ethnic
violence that followed the attempted coup witnessed a massive movement of
refugees into Tanzania.  It is estimated that about 125,000 refugees
crossed into Kibondo district in the first three months of 1994, and
sought assistance from the local people living near the border with
Burundi.  These local people with their meagre resources were put under
severe strain to respond to the needs of the refugees.  The international
community came on the scene only three months after the tragedy, and by
that time, almost 100,000 refugees had returned to Burundi to areas that
had become relatively safe.  TCRS had a presence in Kibondo at the time in
the form of a development project which began in 1986.  The TCRS
development project was able to provide some early response using the
limited resources at hand, well ahead of the co-ordinated assistance which
appeared with the arrival of UNHCR and other INGOs.

TCRS Refugee Responsibilities in Kibondo District - From early 1994, TCRS,
now working in collaboration with UNHCR, established the Kanembwa and
Mkugwa refugee camps.  TCRS was responsible for camp management,
infrastructure development, water and sanitation, education and some
aspects of community development in these two camps.  As the civil war in
Burundi continued and the number of Burundian refugees in Kibondo
increased, TCRS was responsible for setting up two additional refugee
camps at Mtendeli and Nduta in 1996, and a further camp at Karago at the
end of 1999.  The current Kibondo caseload is approximately 150,000
Refugees, and TCRS is still working in the four largest camps in Kibondo
district.  The smallest camp, Mkugwa, was handed over to a small local NGO
for management in 1998.

*April 2002 figures, UNHCR

Current Situation: Arusha Peace Process - Despite the signing of the
Arusha Peace Accord in August 2000, and installation of the transitional
government in Burundi in November 2001, the civil conflict continues
unabated.  The two largest armed rebel groups have not participated in the
peace process to date, and until they can be brought into negotiations and
a cease fire is agreed, insecurity will continue to prevail in the areas
of Burundi from which the refugees have fled.

Current Situation:  Voluntary Repatriation - In January 2002, under
pressure from the Burundian and Tanzanian governments, UNHCR agreed to
begin facilitating a "voluntary repatriation" to relatively peaceful areas
of northern Burundi.  Due to the ongoing conflict, UNHCR is not
"promoting" repatriation, and has made it known to the refugees that UNHCR
is not recommending that refugees return at this time.  However,
statements by the Government of Tanzania that "it was time for the
refugees to return" has created an atmosphere of intimidation, where
refugees fear that if they don't go "voluntarily" now, they will be forced
out at a later date.  By the end of March 35,000 refugees in Kibondo had
registered themselves to return, but as of the end of May 2002, only 2,170
have actually showed up for the transport organised for them, and the rate
is dwindling.  This is primarily due to the fact that most of the Kibondo
refugees are from south eastern provinces of Burundi, where the levels of
fighting and insecurity are the highest, a transport is only provided to
northern provinces.  Many others who initially registered for repatriation
appear to have changed their minds, given that the government of Tanzania
seems to accept the fact that the south eastern areas of Burundi are not
safe for repatriation.  Despite the fact that conditions in Burundi do not
yet allow for the promotion of repatriation, TCRS would like to be
prepared to assist those who wish to return at there own risk to safer
northern areas of Burundi.  Refugees continue to repatriate spontaneously
and face many difficulties on their way home if not assisted.

Current Situation:  In the Kibondo Camps - for the majority of Burundian
refugees in Kibondo, repatriation is not a viable option at the present,
and TCRS expects that the current population will not decline
significantly over the rest of the year.  The life of the refugees
remaining in the camps is filled with constraints and hardship.  They are
assumed to be "temporary residents" of Tanzania and are kept confined to
an area of 4 km radius from the camps.  Almost all are totally dependent
on handouts for their basic survival needs.  The existing income
generating activities in the camps are weak and impact only a minority.
The food rations that refugees receive from WFP are subject to periodic
cuts according to the response from the international community.  Over the
last three years the funding for the Burundian refugee has decreased to
the point that basic needs provision has dipped below the generally
accepted humanitarian standards.  Even more drastic cuts are planned in
the "less-essential" areas of refugee education, refugee self-sufficiency,
and peace and reconciliation which TCRS believes are vital for refugee
well-being and dignity, as well as the eventual healing of the root causes
of the ethnic conflict.




GOAL & OBJECTIVES

TCRS Kibondo Refugee Project Overall Goal is to improve the quality of
life, dignity and self-reliance of Burundian refugees while in camps in
Kibondo District, and facilitate their participation in the rebuilding of
a peaceful and prosperous Burundi.

This appeal's objectives are to alleviate the suffering of the refugees
by:

Provision of water and sanitation in accordance with SPHERE1 SPHERE
Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response, The
SPHERE Project, Geneva, 2000

1 minimum standards
Provision of basic needs like clothing and household utensils
Provision of information in order for the refugees to be able to make an
  informed decision on when to return to Burundi.
Facilitating a dignified repatriation for those who wish to return.
Peace education and conflict transformation to address root causes of
  conflict
Advocacy for refugee rights in Tanzania and the basic rights of returnees
Capacity building of national partners in refugee emergency response



TARGETED BENEFICIARIES

There are approximately 150,000 refugees in Kibondo District, western
Tanzania.

Camp

Kanembwa
18,973

Mtendeli
42,958

Nduta
48,933

Except for Mkugwa camp, where mixed Hutu and Tutsi couples of Rwandan and
Burundian origins are hosted, the population of the other four camps in
the district are entirely Burundians of the Hutu tribe.

The Tanzanian government's National Eligibility Committee grants asylum
and refugee status on a prima facie basis to all Burundian refugees while
the Rwandan refugees only receive this status after an individual
interview.  Most of the Burundian refugees are peasants with a rural
background, but there is a small group of trained intellectuals who
possess some marketable skills.  There are also a small group of students
who interrupted their studies in Burundi.

Beneficiary numbers vary for the different activities proposed under this
appeal and are given under the description of each activity.




PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION

Capacity Building of TCRS' Local Partners

TCRS is committed to strengthening the capacity of its local partners in
disaster response and management.  This is particularly important in the
run-up to transition of the LWF/DWS field programme to a local ELCT-owned
NGO in 2004/5.  TCRS will facilitate training of ELCT and other partner
organisation staff in SPHERE minimum standards for disaster response, and
general disaster management.  TCRS will also facilitate participation of
partners in regional ACT consultations and workshops.



Water and Sanitation in Kanembwa, Karago and Mtendeli Camps

Promotion of health and sanitation - TCRS has women's health animation and
sanitation teams in each of the three camps where TCRS is responsible for
water and sanitation.  The women's health animation teams provide health
and hygiene education targeting women.  The water and sanitation animation
teams promote family pit latrine sanitation and maintenance of hygienic
conditions at water points, and they facilitate the work of refugee water
committees.  Due to the vast geographical area to be covered, TCRS
requires funds for 2 off-road motorcycles for proper supervision of this
activity.

Water containers - In April 2002 TCRS carried out a survey of water use in
all three camps. The findings indicated that water consumption decreases
with family size and volume of available storage containers.  SPHERE
minimum standards for humanitarian aid stipulate that each household
should have two water collecting vessels and one water storage vessel.
However, with family groups of up to fourteen persons, this should be
increased.  In order to assist the larger families, TCRS plans to purchase
and distribute 8000 locally manufactured containers.

Back-Up Submersible Pumps - In order to ensure a safe and reliable supply
in all camps, TCRS aims to have back-up systems in place for all
mechanical parts. However, within the current budgetary constraints this
is not realistic. Therefore TCRS has invested in submersible pumps to be
used in case of a major breakdown. These can be installed in boreholes, in
spring sources, as well as horizontally in storage tanks.  In order to
operate the pumps at any location, TCRS will invest in one mobile
generator unit.

Pump and Generator Spares - Pumps and generators in the camps are of
varying age, however some have not been replaced since 1994.  To a great
extent, TCRS has succeeded in standardising pumps, engines and generators,
and many parts are therefore interchangeable.  Spare part stocks are
necessary to ensure a safe and reliable water supply.  Stocks are
extremely low, no funds are available and replacement of certain parts
within the equipment is needed.

Distribution System Improvements - To meet SPHERE standards for maximum
distance between shelters and water supply and minimum delivery flow rate,
there is a need to extend the water systems in the camps by increasing the
flow rate and number of taps stands in some camp sectors. Water pipes and
taps are therefore requested in the budget.

Beneficiaries:  Approximately 96,000 refugees in Mtendeli, Kanembwa and
Karago camps


Information and Resource Centres

In light of the ever-changing situation in Burundi there is a great need
to ensure that the refugees in the camps are provided with up-to-date
information from their home country.  Ensuring that refugees are informed
is an important way to control rumours in camps regarding the situation in
Burundi and in the country of asylum, and to enable refugees to make
informed decisions about repatriation.

The 5 refugee camps in Kibondo district were set up between 1994 and 1999.
Until 2000, there were no facilities for refugees to access news,
information, and refugee-related documentation other than the Kanembwa
Secondary School Library and Resource Centre (established in 1996).  In
late 2000, TCRS completed construction of 4 additional centres at the 4
other refugee camps in Kibondo.  These Information Resource Centres also
provide a basic-standard venue for seminars, workshops and other meetings
of refugee groups.

The resource centres are staffed by refugee personnel.  The centres are
stocked with reference books, local newspapers, refugee/human rights
documentation, and HIV/AID education materials.  TCRS has also provided
typewriters and stationery for refugee group administrative work.  In
light of the current voluntary repatriation, TCRS plans to provide further
information materials on rights during repatriation, property rights, and
currency exchange rates.  ACT partners in Burundi such as Christian Aid
Burundi will assist with the identification and procurement of
Burundi-source materials for the centres.  TCRS seek resources to use
towards:

Purchase of audio-visual equipment (video player and tapes) to increase
refugee access to information on peace, HIV/AIDS, and life skills
education.

Incentive pay for centre managers, librarians, typists, cleaners and
guards (all refugees)

Training for refugee resource centre staff.

Purchase of books, journals, reports and newspapers in French and Kirundi
medium

Maintenance and repair of centres

Salary of Information officer



Beneficiaries:  With the above improvements the 4 information centres
located in Karago, Mtendeli, Kanembwa and Nduta camps are likely to
benefit at least 80% of the respective refugee populations or around
115,000 persons.



Advocacy and Lobbying

Study of Economic Impact of Refugees - For all the rhetoric about the
negative impact of refugees in Tanzania, there has been very little formal
study of the overall economic impact of the refugees on the Tanzanian
economy.  TCRS believes the economic benefits of hosting the refugees are
not documented or recognised, and if they were, this would go a long way
towards changing the Tanzanian public's perception of refugees to the
better.

Refugee Attitudes to Repatriation - With the ongoing peace process in
Burundi many refugees are currently contemplating the possibility of a
voluntary repatriation and some have already repatriated.  While the
refugees' political leadership has defined the conditions necessary for
voluntary repatriation, the personal situations of ordinary refugee
families may determine quite different conditions.  TCRS is participating
in a survey of ordinary refugees' conditions for repatriation and intends
to advocate and lobby the relevant authorities based on the findings.

Refugee Rights in Tanzania - On the other hand, peace in Burundi is not
yet assured, and advocacy on behalf of people whose dignity and
self-sufficiency is hindered by their living situation in Tanzania will
have to continue.  Advocacy and lobbying for the rights of refugees
remaining in Tanzania is essential.  TCRS has the obligation to raise
awareness amongst the general Tanzanian population regarding the situation
of refugees and create conducive forums for refugees and host communities
to meet and understand each other.  The main areas of advocacy and
lobbying remain:

more access to land for cultivation by refugees
special services for particularly vulnerable refugee groups such as the
  elderly and unattached minors
more women's participation in camp governance
better personal security for refugee women both in the camps and outside
improving the image of refugees amongst Kibondo residents and Tanzanians
  nationally
TCRS needs the following resources for this work:
Salaries and allowances for an advocacy officer.
Costs for seminars/workshops
Radio/television airtime and production expenses in co-operation with
  Jesuit Refugee Service (operators of local Kibondo radio station)
Provision for hiring consultants and facilitation of journalists.



Beneficiaries:  Potentially the entire refugee and local population in
Kibondo District can benefit from better security and quality of life for
the refugees and good relations between refugees and local community.

Peace Education and Conflict Transformation

Peace Education in Schools - For the past two years, TCRS' concentration
has been on training refugees, local people and government representatives
in conflict management skills, concentrating on the relationship between
refugees and the local host population.  Now TCRS wants to initiate a
comprehensive peace education curriculum in all refugee camp schools,
developed by INEE (International Network for Education in Emergencies).
The TCRS Kanembwa Secondary School headmaster has been involved in the
development of this curriculum at international workshops and will
supervise its implementation in Kibondo schools, through training of
school teachers.

Training of Traditional Judges - The de-facto arbitrators of most
conflicts within the refugee camps are the "abashingatahe", the Burundian
village justice system.  TCRS will organise training for the traditional
judges in this systems with an emphasis on sensitivity to gender equity
issues and family conflict resolution.

Cross-Border Peace Net - TCRS is also planning to launch a cross border
"Peace Net", in partnership with Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS).  The peace
net will link together all peace building activities, from grass root
level and up, and on both sides of the Burundi-Tanzania border.  TCRS and
JRS plan to link up with Christian Aid Burundi, the National Council of
Churches of Burundi (CNEB) and the Quakers in Burundi.  All have shown an
interest in cross- border efforts in peace and conflict transformation and
participated in a planning workshop organised by TCRS in Kibondo in May
2002.  TCRS is requesting resources for:

Teacher training workshops and curriculum materials for Peace Education
Research on "Abashingatahe"  system and training of local judges
Costs for facilitating cross border visits and consultations

Beneficiaries:  Peace building can have a very wide impact, both in
building better relations between refugees and host communities, as well
as contributing to future peace and stability in Burundi.


Domestic Needs

Cooking Pots - Following survey work undertaken by TCRS home visitors in
Mtendeli camp, it was found that family cooking pots supplied some 5 years
ago are worn out.  TCRS plans to purchase and replace 11,000 pots (one per
family).

Beneficiaries:  11,000 refugee families in Mtendeli camp will receive new
cooking pots.


Additional Assistance to Refugees Voluntarily Repatriating

Luggage Carry-alls - From the first several repatriation convoys it has
been observed that the returnees completely lack adequate means to carry
their limited personal belongings. Refugees who repatriate are forced to
use their clothes (mainly women's Kangas) or other pieces of cloth for
bundling and carrying their personal effects.  This method can result in
loss or damage to the few precious possessions refugees have.  TCRS
intends to purchase locally made woven polypropylene zip bags and provide
one per repatriating family.  These bags are very durable and can be used
for a variety of storage purposes when the refugees arrive back in
Burundi.


Freight for Extra Luggage - UNHCR has limited luggage per repatriating
person to 50kgs due to funding constraints.  One can imagine that after
three to five year in the camps, many returnees may have more than 50kgs
of belongings, especially if refugees have food which they have recently
harvested from their household plots.  TCRS believes that refugees should
be able to carry all their belongings back to their country of origin, as
most will be starting their economic lives again in Burundi from zero.
TCRS is therefore soliciting funds to be able to provide the additional
freight capacity for those refugees who have "excess" baggage.  It is
estimated that on average refugees have 50kgs of "excess" luggage, so
these funds would cover fuel and maintenance of the TCRS trucks used for
transporting an estimated 750 tons for an average 250km journey.

Seating for Repatriation Convoy Trucks - Due to lack of funding, UNHCR is
using trucks to transport the returning refugees.  Refugees have to travel
up to 8 hours in the back of trucks.  As the trucks used don't have any
seating facilities, refugees are forced to stand during the entire trip.
This is particularly difficult for the elderly and children.  TCRS intends
to construct bench seats in the trucks used during repatriation.

Beneficiaries:  The approximately 15,000 refugees from Kibondo camps who
have signed up for voluntary repatriation will benefit from these
activities.


Management Costs

TCRS is requesting funds for salaries, office operations, and transport to
support effective implementation, monitoring and reporting of components
in this ACT appeal.



ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING

Administration - The overall responsibility for all TCRS Kibondo Refugee
Project lie with the TCRS Director, based in Dar es Salaam.  As well as
management oversight, the TCRS Dar es Salaam office provides accounting,
purchasing, and other logistical services for the Kibondo Refugee Project.

The project office of the TCRS Kibondo Refugee Project is in Kibondo Town,
where project management responsibility is delegated to the Project
Co-ordinator who is assisted by a deputy and senior sector heads.  The
Kibondo office also houses the central stores, central fleet and the
project mechanical workshop. The project maintains offices in all the
camps for the camp management and for the sector specialists.  The project
currently has a total of 236 staff (234 Tanzanian and 2 international
staff), and in addition deploys up to 800 refugees on a nominal incentive
basis for different activities.

Finance - project accounts for ACT appeal activities are maintained in the
TCRS Dar es Salaam office, by the TCRS Finance Co-ordinator.  The Kibondo
Project Co-ordinator authorises all disbursements and accounts for them on
a monthly basis to the TCRS Finance Co-ordinator.  Accounting standards
are those of the LWF Accounting Manual.  All procurement authorised by the
Kibondo Project Co-ordinator is in compliance with the LWF Procurement
Policy. The TCRS Finance Co-ordinator prepares and submits monthly
financial statements to LWF Geneva headquarters and interim and final
financial reports to ACT as per ACT financial reporting guidelines.

Monitoring - A range of reporting measures are carried out to monitor
progress in the project:

Monthly progress reports are prepared by project sector heads and camp
managers

The Kibondo Project Co-ordinator prepares and submits quarterly monitoring
reports to the TCRS Director, who forwards them to LWF Geneva and to ACT
as interim and final narrative reports.

Situation reports are circulated to major donors and other interested
parties whenever there are significant new developments in the Burundian
refugee situation

The TCRS Director and Finance Co-ordinator make regular visits to the
project.




IMPLEMENTATION TIMETABLE

All ACT appeal activities should begin as soon as funds are made
available. TCRS would like to begin in July 2002 and complete all planned
activities by the end of June 2003.




CO-ORDINATION

The overall refugee program in Kibondo District is co-ordinated by UNHCR,
who are also in charge of assigning sectoral responsibilities to the
different agencies working in the district.  UNHCR Kibondo Sub Office
calls monthly inter-agency meetings with participants including the
Ministry of Home Affairs, UN agencies, and NGOs.

A weekly camp-level inter-agency meeting is held in the camps chaired by
TCRS as the camp management agency and attended by refugee leader
representatives. Various issues are discussed concerning the camp and the
welfare of the refugees. The Refugee Camp Commandant representing the
government from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is also in attendance.

At camp level, regular meetings are also organised with refugee block
leaders and whenever necessary, camp mass meetings are called. The purpose
of all these meetings is to share information, co-ordinate activities and
solve operational problems.

In TCRS operated programs, refugees participate in all phases of planning,
implementation, and evaluation.  Refugees are represented in the food
co-ordination meeting.  The education sector, peace and conflict
transformation sector, the information centre, and livestock and
co-operative activities are fully run by refugees themselves, either
through their selected committees or appointed by TCRS on a small
incentive.  Refugee camp management assistants have been recruited to
understudy the Camp Managers in all TCRS managed camps.

Other agencies and NGOs working with refugees in Kibondo are as follow;
MHA  Government administration and security in the camps
UNHCR     Coordination and monitoring of the programs and protection
WFP  Delivery of food
UNICEF Support in health and education
UMATI Health, nutrition, education, community services.
SAEU  Community services and education in Mtendeli and Nduta camp.
IRC  Health, nutrition, & SGVB programme
TRCS  Tracing of separated refugee family members
TWESA Water and Sanitation in Nduta camp.
REDESO Camp Management in Mkugwa, environment in Mtendeli and Nduta.
JRS  Psychotherapy and spiritual healing.
TZ Police Security in the camps and the district as a whole



BUDGET

TCRS is the largest of the agencies providing services to the refugee
camps in Kibondo District.  UNHCR, which has the international mandate and
responsibility for refugee protection, provides financial support,
supplies and equipment for TCRS' care and maintenance activities.  This
funding is subject to revision throughout the year, depending on the
changing political and financial situation.  In 2002, TCRS is projected to
receive USD 800,000 under a sub-agreement with UNHCR for care and
maintenance activities.

TCRS receives funding for its refugee work from two other UN Agencies.
TCRS receives funding (2002 estimate USD 200,000) from WFP for management
of food storage and movement at WFP Extended Delivery Points, and UNICEF
supplies TCRS managed refugee schools with educational materials and
supplies (2002 estimated value USD 50,000).

TCRS also raises significant funding from her traditional donors and other
sources to enable response to emergency events and activities outside the
traditional UNHCR priorities.  In 2002, TCRS has received USD 210,000 from
DCA/DANIDA, and donated clothing worth about USD 600,000.  An
international staff water engineer has been seconded by NCA.
