The Impact of Refugee Presence on Host Populations in Tanzania

This desk review was conducted against this backdrop of the new global commitment to protecting refugees and better supporting the countries and communities that host them. As such, this review provides a brief history of refugee policy and practice in Tanzania; an overview of the impacts/outcomes along different variables (e.g., jobs, health, etc.); investments in the resilience of both refugees and local communities; a list of lessons and policy/practice options that can be gleaned from an analysis of the studies’ findings both in terms of refugee impact and humanitarian/development impact/response; and a brief taxonomy of areas for possible further research and understanding.
