Tanzania and Burundi have joined forces with the European Union, the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) and other partners under a new €8 million ($8.8 million) initiative to resolve the refugee crisis afflicting both countries.
The project, which is fully funded by the EU, was launched at the Nyarugusu refugee camp in Tanzania's western Kigoma region on October 1 and will run until September 2027, aiming to improve the conditions for refugees, asylum seekers and those returning voluntarily to Burundi.
