WFP Urges Continued Support For Burundi Refugees Returning Home
The United Nations World Food Programme urged the
international community to provide US$6 million so that WFP food
assistance
to as many as 90,000 Burundian refugees returning home from Tanzania - due
to run out mid-year - can be maintained.
"WFP needs donors to provide for the vital needs of the returnees - most
of
whom are women and children - at this critical moment," said WFP Burundi
Country Director Jean-Charles Dei. "It would be a tragedy if we are unable
to provide the full support refugees will need when returning to Burundi."
"Unless contributions are immediately forthcoming, our support to those
returning home will be in jeopardy," he said.
In 2007, a tripartite commission consisting of the governments of Burundi
and Tanzania, as well as UNHCR, agreed that people who fled Burundi in
1993
should repatriate. As many as 60,000 of these refugees are expected to
return this year. A schedule for camp closures in Tanzania for 2008 was
also announced.
The commission also agreed that people who fled Burundi in 1972 and are
living in Tanzanian settlements could either remain in Tanzania and apply
for citizenship or return to Burundi. Of the 218,000 refugees in this
group, some 30,000 have expressed their desire to return home to Burundi.
Hundreds of thousands of people left Burundi for neighbouring Tanzania in
1972 to escape conflict. Thousands more followed in 1993. Burundi is
emerging from 14 years of civil war which killed more than 300,000 people
and displaced more than one million people in the region.
In collaboration with UNHCR, WFP and its partners therefore immediately
moved to encourage voluntary returns by increasing the return package for
each family from a three-month to a six-month food ration. The U.N.
refugee
agency provides a cash grant of 50,000 Burundian francs (approximately
US$45) to each returning refugee.
Every Burundian refugee family leaving Tanzania receives prepared meals
from WFP in the transit camps before being given a one-month ration as
they
head home. The remaining five-month ration is distributed to families once
they have reached their home communities by WFP's partner CED/Caritas.
In order to meet the urgent needs of the returnees, WFP has already been
forced to cut rations to many of the people it feeds in Burundi, including
children receiving school meals and mothers of children being treated for
malnutrition. Food-for-work and food-for-training projects have been
suspended.
WFP is facing major breaks in supplies of all its regular food commodities
in May and June, just when the return of refugees is anticipated to be at
its height. In addition to the returnee operation, in order to roll out
its
other operations in Burundi until the end of June, WFP requires an
additional US$20 million.
"It's crucial for the consolidation of peace in Burundi that not only the
returnees, but also the communities that are receiving them, receive the
assistance they need at this seminal time in the country's history," said
Dei.
WFP Burundi currently provides food for 600,000 hungry people each month
including small-scale rural farmers, women and children in health and
nutrition centres, Congolese refugees, families affected by HIV/AIDS and
children who receive meals at school.
Donors to WFP's post-conflict operation in Burundi include United States
(US$13.3 million), Japan (US$ 7.7 million), UN CERF (US$5.8 million - for
CERF see: http://ochaonline.un.org), European Commission (US$5.5 million),
Canada (US$4.2 million), Multilateral funds (US$3.2 million), United
Kingdom (US$2.7 million), Belgium (US$2.4 million), Netherlands (US$1.9
million), France (US$1.8 million), Germany (US$1.4 million), Ireland
(US$1.3 million), Switzerland (US$1 million), Norway (US$901,000), Finland
(US$670,000), Luxembourg (US$640,000), China (US$250,000).
