Jumuiya ya Wanadiplomasia Yatembelea Kambi za Wakimbizi nchini Tanzania
Jumuiya ya Wanadiplomasia Yatembelea Kambi za Wakimbizi nchini Tanzania,
Wajumbe wa jumuiya ya wanadiplomasia kutoka balozi za Ubelgiji, Umoja wa Ulaya, Ufaransa, Japan, Uingereza, Marekani na Uswizi nchini Tanzania, walitembelea kambi mbili za wakimbizi Kaskazini-magharibi mwa Tanzania kuanzia tarehe 16 hadi 19 Mei 2022. Katika ziara hiyo yenye lengo la kuibua hadhi ya operesheni ya wakimbizi wa Tanzania, wajumbe hao walikuwa na mikutano ya kina na viongozi wa wakimbizi, maafisa wa serikali, Mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa na Washirika kutoka Mashirika Yasiyo ya Kiserikali. Waliona wakimbizi wakipokea baadhi ya huduma muhimu na kutembelea miradi mahususi inayowanufaisha wakimbizi na jamii inayowahifadhi katika maeneo ya nishati na mazingira, usajili na vyeti vya kuzaliwa, maji, usafi wa mazingira na usafi, afya, elimu, njia za maisha, kinga na mwitikio kwa misingi ya jinsia. vurugu, na chakula na lishe, miongoni mwa mengine.
Wajumbe hao walitoa pongezi kwa Serikali na watu wa Tanzania kwa utamaduni wake wa muda mrefu wa kuweka milango wazi na kutoa bandari salama kwa watu waliolazimika kukimbia nchi zao kwa zaidi ya miaka 60. Aidha waliipongeza Tanzania na viongozi wake kwa kuwa daima mstari wa mbele katika juhudi za kikanda za kujenga amani, kuruhusu maelfu ya wakimbizi kurejea nyumbani salama, inapowezekana, au kutafuta suluhu nyingine za kudumu. Kwa sasa, Tanzania inawahifadhi wakimbizi na wanaotafuta hifadhi wapatao 248,000, wengi wao kutoka Burundi na Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo.
Ujumbe huo ulibainisha haja ya kuimarishwa kwa mazingira wezeshi ya kisera ili kutoa ulinzi na usaidizi kwa wakimbizi wanapokuwa kwenye hifadhi huku ikitafuta masuluhisho madhubuti ya muda mrefu kwa wakazi wote. Ilibainisha zaidi kwamba ikiwa wakimbizi watapata fursa rasmi zaidi za kupata riziki na fursa za kujiongezea kipato, ingeinufaisha Tanzania. Hii hatimaye ingesababisha kuongezeka kwa mapato ya kodi na fursa za ziada za ajira, na ingeimarisha zaidi michakato ya usambazaji na soko nchini, na kukuza zaidi uchumi. Hivi sasa, sera kali ya kuweka kambi inawafanya wakimbizi karibu kutegemea msaada wa kibinadamu.
Wakitambua kwamba kutoa hifadhi kunakuja na matatizo ya kimazingira na changamoto za kiutawala na kiuchumi, wajumbe wa ujumbe huo walisisitiza dhamira ya Jumuiya ya Kimataifa ya kuendelea kuunga mkono juhudi za Serikali kwa kuongozwa na kanuni zilizomo katika Mkataba wa Kimataifa wa Wakimbizi (GCR). GCR inatoa wito kwa mahitaji ya wakimbizi na jumuiya zinazowahifadhi kuzingatiwa kwa njia iliyounganishwa. Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Antonio Guterres, ameelezea hii kama mbinu "inayotambua kwamba jumuiya hizi zina changamoto zao za kiuchumi na masuala ya usalama, na ukarimu wao lazima uendane na uwekezaji wa maendeleo." Kwa miongo kadhaa, kwa kuungwa mkono na Jumuiya ya Kimataifa, familia ya Umoja wa Mataifa na washirika wengine wa kibinadamu wameleta mshikamano huu wa kimataifa ili kuboresha ustawi wa Watanzania kama taifa muhimu linalohifadhi wakimbizi. Rasilimali hizi zinaendelea kuathiri vyema jumuiya ya wenyeji katika eneo linalohifadhi wakimbizi na kwingineko.
Moja ya mipango hiyo ni Mpango wa Pamoja wa Kigoma, programu ya miaka mitano inayotekelezwa na Mashirika 16 ya Umoja wa Mataifa kwa kushirikiana na mamlaka za mikoa na wilaya. Ujumbe huo uliweza kutembelea baadhi ya maeneo ya mradi wa Pamoja ili kujionea athari kwa maisha ya Watanzania. Mpango huo ulipoanza mwaka 2017, Kigoma ilikuwa mkoa wa mwisho katika viashiria vya kijamii na kiuchumi nchini. Kwa mujibu wa mapitio ya hivi karibuni, Kigoma sasa inaishinda mikoa mingine mitano kwa baadhi ya mambo. Kwa kupanua na kuongeza usaidizi kwa jumuiya zinazowakaribisha, mpango huo pia unaboresha kuishi kwa amani kati ya wakimbizi na watu wanaowakaribisha. Mshikamano wa kimataifa na ufadhili wa kusaidia operesheni ya wakimbizi nchini Tanzania katika miaka kadhaa iliyopita umekuwa wa kupongezwa. Walakini, ufadhili zaidi unahitajika ili kukidhi mahitaji yanayokua kila wakati. Kati ya dola za Marekani milioni 114.5 zinazohitajika na UNHCR kusaidia wakimbizi na jamii zinazowahifadhi nchini Tanzania mwaka huu, ni sehemu ndogo tu ndiyo imepokelewa kutoka kwa wafadhili hadi sasa. Nchini Tanzania, UNHCR inashirikiana na Serikali, Jumuiya ya Wanadiplomasia, washirika wa kibinadamu na maendeleo, na wadau wengine ili kutimiza jukumu la msingi la Shirika hilo - kusaidia Serikali kuwapa wakimbizi, waomba hifadhi na watu wengine wanaojali ulinzi, usaidizi wa kimataifa. na suluhisho za kudumu.

From commitment to action: Breaking down barriers to menstrual hygiene management in Kigoma
“It’s difficult to talk about menstruation and sanitary pads openly because it’s not something we do. I try to save money for pads, but if this runs out I use pieces of cloth,” says Bupe.* Pieces of cloth, she adds, that have to be dried out of sight.
She is not alone. Managing menstruation is often challenging for adolescent girls in Tanzania – and around the world – where privacy and access to affordable materials and water to manage periods are often lacking.
Persistent inequalities and perceptions that menstruating is somehow ‘dirty’ or ‘shameful’ can also mean that menstruation and puberty mark the start of restrictions to girls’ mobility and behaviour – a time when their opportunities can radically diminish; a time when they start to miss out.
“I used to miss one week of school every month,” says Glory.* “I didn’t want to shame myself in front of my peers.”
Her narrative is echoed by her friends. The silence and stigma that exists around menstruation continue to disempower girls globally, negatively affecting their education and health. But in Kasulu District, Kigoma Region, Tanzania, this is changing.
Empowering girls
Today, as Menstrual Hygiene Day is commemorated around the globe, with a call for increased investments and action to realize the collective vision of a world where women and girls can manage their menstruation with dignity and respect, UNFPA handed over-improved latrines that have been built at 10 primary schools in Irish Aid-supported Ujana Wangu Nguvu Yangu – My Youth, My Power – project districts in Kigoma. The latrines include a dedicated changing room for girls with an attached incinerator for the disposal of used sanitary pads.
Five thousand Dignity Kits, complete with reusable sanitary pad, were also distributed to school girls attending the celebrations, in tandem with menstrual hygiene education sessions – over 10,000 pads have been distributed since the project began in 2018.
Asma,* one of the recipients of the Dignity Kits, and a student at KumKata primary school, could barely hide her delight. She described the kit, and access to period-friendly sanitation facilities at her school, as “a golden opportunity”; a chance to compete as an equal with her male peers. “The drums are roaring for the girls of Kigoma now,” she added with a smile.
Committed to change
Over 10,000 girls and boys have attended education sessions on menstrual hygiene management (MHM) in the five Ujana project districts since 2018. They are now championing efforts to spread the message that menstruation is a normal and healthy part of life. Extensive advocacy with school committees, teachers, parents and caretakers for period-friendly sanitation facilities in schools has also secured commitment for the replication of the 10 latrines built under the project at more schools in the future.
Leaving no one behind is the central, transformative promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and although there is no specific goal or indicator related to menstrual hygiene, ensuring that all women and girls can manage their periods with dignity is integral to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 – good health and well-being – and SDG5 – gender equality and women’s empowerment – as well as several others.
UNFPA in Tanzania will continue to support efforts to build sustainable and effective MHM programmes that expand access to affordable and environmentally-friendly menstrual products and period-friendly facilities and bust myths that periods are a problem, so that girls in Kigoma – and across Tanzania – are not held back and do not miss school, but are empowered to compete as equals and realize their potential and aspirations – period!
Names have been changed.*

Vituo vya jamii vinavyoungwa mkono na UNHCR vinatoa matumaini kwa wanawake vijana wa Kitanzania
“Shule ya ufundi ya Malogerwa ilibadilisha maisha yangu. Sasa mimi ni mfanyabiashara, na wakati wangu ujao ni mzuri,” akasema Sporah mwenye umri wa miaka 21.
“Nina kazi sasa na Shirika Lisilo la Kiserikali. Nisingepata nafasi hii bila maarifa niliyopata kutokana na kujifunza ujuzi wa kompyuta,” alisema Yuditha kwa tabasamu pana.
Sporah na Yuditha ni mifano miwili ya mamia ya vijana wa kike wa Kitanzania waliopata ujuzi wa vitendo unaowawezesha kumudu taaluma mbalimbali kutoka katika vituo vya mafunzo ya ufundi stadi vilivyopo pembezoni mwa kambi za wakimbizi katika Wilaya za Kibondo na Kasulu. Mafunzo yanayotolewa na UNHCR na Baraza la Wakimbizi la Denmark ni pamoja na; Jumuiya ya Teknolojia ya Habari (ICT), ushonaji, kutengeneza sabuni, kurekebisha simu, kutengeneza baiskeli, kutengeneza nywele, na kuoka, miongoni mwa mengine.
Sporah ambaye alizaliwa katika familia ya kipato cha chini wilayani Kibondo, alishindwa kuendelea na shule ya msingi kutokana na umaskini. Kadhalika, Yuditha mwenye umri wa miaka 19 kutoka Wilaya ya Kasulu alimaliza elimu yake ya sekondari mwaka 2019 lakini hakuweza kuendelea na elimu ya juu kutokana na matatizo ya kifedha.
Sporah na Yuditha walijiunga na madarasa ya Maloregwa na Nyarugusu, mtawalia, baada ya kupokea taarifa kutoka kwa viongozi wao wa kijiji. Kufuatia mchakato mkali wa uchunguzi, Sporah alianza madarasa ya ushonaji na kudarizi. "Nilijifunza na kukuza ujuzi katika ushonaji, kudarizi, kubuni, stadi za maisha, na ujuzi wa kifedha ambao umenisaidia kufanya maamuzi sahihi ya kifedha katika biashara yangu," alisema. Baada ya mafunzo hayo, Sporah alipata cherehani ikiwa ni sehemu ya vifaa vya kuanzia, na kwa sasa ameanzisha biashara ambayo inastawi ambapo pia anawafundisha vijana wengine wa kike.
Yuditha, kwa upande mwingine, alifanikiwa kuingia kwenye kozi ya Teknolojia ya Habari (ICT) iliyokuwa na ushindani mkubwa, akiwa mmoja wa wanawake watatu katika darasa la wanafunzi 40. “Nilipokuwa nikikua, sikuzote nilivutiwa nikitazama watu wakichapa na kusogeza kipanya cha kompyuta kwenye maduka ya karibu ya vifaa vya kuandikia. Siku zote nilitamani ningefanya vivyo hivyo siku moja,” anacheka. "Leo hii, ninajivunia kuwa na cheti cha Teknolojia ya Habari (ICT), kutoka taasisi pekee inayotoa kozi hii katika kijiji kizima, na nimeajiriwa kwa furaha," anaongeza.
Wakati wa mafunzo ya ujuzi wa miezi 3-6 katika Vituo vya jamii, wakimbizi na Watanzania kutoka vijiji vya karibu hujifunza bega kwa bega, kuingiliana kwa uhuru, na kujifunza kutoka kwa kila mmoja. “Nilikutana na watu wapya na kupata marafiki wapya miongoni mwao, wakimbizi. Ni watu kama wewe na mimi; kinachotutofautisha sisi (Watanzania) na wao (wakimbizi) wanaishi kambini wakati sisi tupo nyumbani ambako tunaweza kufanya mazoezi baada ya masomo,” alisema Sporah.
"Upatikanaji wa riziki hupunguza utegemezi wa wakimbizi kwenye misaada ya kibinadamu na huongeza kujitegemea miongoni mwa jamii," Peter Opio, Afisa wa Kimaisha wa UNHCR alisema. "Kupanua huduma kwa jumuiya inayowapokea huchangia katika kukuza kuishi pamoja kwa amani na huongeza mshikamano wa kijamii kati ya wakimbizi na jumuiya zinazowahifadhi wakimbizi kulingana na matarajio ya Mkataba wa Kimataifa wa Wakimbizi," aliongeza.
Kiongozi wa Kijiji cha Nengo Bw.Jumanne Rashid aliongeza kuwa kituo hicho cha mafunzo kimefungua milango kwa vijana wengi katika eneo lake na kuwasaidia kujitegemea jambo ambalo ni muhimu katika kupunguza umaskini katika ngazi ya wilaya. Kiongozi huyo wa kijiji alitoa wito kwa UNHCR na washirika kuendelea na msaada huo kwani unawasaidia kufikia malengo yao ya maendeleo.
Vituo vya Jamii vilivyoundwa mwaka 2017 chini ya Mpango wa Pamoja wa Umoja wa Mataifa Kigoma (KJP), kwa ufadhili wa Serikali ya Norway, vimechangia chanya katika maisha ya watu 3,764 (wanawake 2,017). Zaidi ya asilimia 15 (570) ya wahitimu walikuwa raia wa Tanzania kutoka vijiji vya jirani. Kupitia KJP, UNHCR, na watendaji wengine wa Umoja wa Mataifa wamekuwa wakifanya kazi ili kufikia matokeo ya pamoja ambayo yanapunguza mahitaji, hatari, na udhaifu wa jamii katika mkoa wa Kigoma uliokusanywa kwa miaka mingi.

Mradi huu unachangia katika kuafikiwa kwa Lengo la Maendeleo Endelevu (SDG) 4, ambalo linalenga kuhakikisha elimu bora iliyojumuishwa na yenye usawa na kukuza fursa za kujifunza maishani kwa wote.
Mhe. Naibu Waziri wa Elimu na Mafunzo ya Amali Zanzibar Ali Abdulgullam Hussein amesema ni wakati muafaka sasa wa kuhakikisha ufundishaji wa masomo ya Sayansi unaboreshwa ili kuwa na wahitimu wenye ujuzi stahiki unaohitajika ili kusaidia mahitaji ya karne hii ya Sayansi na Teknolojia. Naye Mkurugenzi wa Shirika la KOICA Tanzania Bw.Kyucheol Eo alisema kuwa KOICA inafuraha kuanzisha maabara 10 za Sayansi katika Skuli 10 ili kutoa elimu bora ya Sayansi kwa Wanafunzi wa Sekondari Zanzibar.

UNHCR inajenga vifaa vya usafi wa mazingira shuleni ili kusaidia jamii mwenyeji huko Kibondo
Usafi wa mazingira unaotosheleza ni haki ya msingi ya binadamu, na kuufikia ni muhimu ili kupata viwango bora vya afya, elimu, lishe na viwango vingine vya maendeleo ya binadamu. Kama sehemu ya dhamira yake ya kusaidia jamii zinazowapokea, UNHCR, wakala wa wakimbizi, inajitahidi kuboresha upatikanaji wa maji, usafi wa mazingira, na huduma za usafi katika mkoa unaohifadhi wakimbizi wa Kigoma. Wanafunzi 1,578 (wavulana 786 na wasichana 792) katika Shule ya Msingi Kibondo wamenufaika na ujenzi wa vyumba viwili vya vyoo. Kutokana na kuongezeka kwa idadi kubwa ya wanafunzi walioandikishwa shuleni, uwiano wa wanafunzi kwanye vyoo umekuwa tatizo kubwa, na kuongeza hatari ya magonjwa ya kuambukiza kama vile Maambukizi ya Mfumo wa Mkojo, kuhara na kipindupindu.
"Kabla ya mradi, haikuwa ajabu kuona foleni ndefu za wanafunzi nje ya vyoo vichache vilivyopo. Tunatumai kuwa muda huu wa kusubiri sasa utapunguzwa na wakati huo huo kuwakinga watoto hawa dhidi ya magonjwa ya kuambukiza,” alisema Mahoua Parums, Mwakilishi wa UNHCR nchini Tanzania. "Tunatambua kuwa licha ya kukabiliwa na changamoto zao za kiuchumi, jamii za hapa daima zimekuwa zikiwakaribisha wakimbizi. Msaada huu, miongoni mwa mengine, ni sehemu ya mpango wetu mpana wa kulinganisha ukarimu wa jumuiya mwenyeji na uwekezaji wa maendeleo, "aliongeza.
Kwa kufanya kazi na Baraza la Wakimbizi la Norway na washirika wengine, mradi umejenga misimamo mipya 26 ya vyoo kwani kulikuwa na nne pekee kabla ya mradi. Vituo vipya vya kunawia mikono vilivyo na maji yanayotiririka pia vimewekwa kwenye vifaa vya udhu ili kuhamasisha unawaji mikono baada ya kutoka chooni. Pia kuna choo maalum cha kuchukua wanafunzi wenye ulemavu na chumba cha usafi wa hedhi ambacho kinawawezesha wasichana wachanga kupata sehemu salama na ya faragha wakati wa kubadilisha vifaa vyao vya usafi.
"Hapo awali, baadhi ya wanafunzi waliogopa kuja shuleni wakati wa siku za hedhi kwa sababu hakukuwa na maji ya kutosha kuhakikisha usafi ufaao. Sasa tuna furaha kwa sababu hali imeimarika,”- Elizabeth Furaha, Mwanafunzi wa Darasa la 5.
Mradi huo pia ulisababisha kuundwa kwa klabu ya usafi wa shule inayojumuisha wanafunzi 30 kwa sasa. Klabu inawapa wanafunzi maarifa ya usimamizi wa usafi. Chini ya usimamizi wa mwalimu wa mazingira, wanachama wa klabu husambaza ujuzi huu kwa wanafunzi wengine ili kupunguza hatari ya magonjwa ya maji na kuboresha usafi wa mazingira. Lengo la jumla ni kuwahimiza kuwa mawakala wa mabadiliko kwa jamii nzima.
"Mradi huu utaboresha mazingira ya kujifunzia kwa wanafunzi wetu na kuongeza ufaulu wao na mahudhurio. Uhaba wa vifaa vya WASH ulikuwa tishio kwa usalama, utu na utendaji wa wanafunzi,” alisema Laurent Nazari Rugambwa - mwalimu. "Wengine walilazimika kurudi nyumbani kutumia vyoo na mara nyingi hawakurudi shuleni. Wengine walikuwa wagonjwa mara kwa mara kutokana na magonjwa ya kuambukiza. Hatuwezi kuwashukuru vya kutosha kwa msaada huo, "- alihitimisha.
Kwa ushirikiano na mamlaka za mitaa na washirika, UNHCR itaendelea kuboresha ustawi wa jamii zinazowapokea huko Kigoma, ambako wengi wa wakimbizi 247,000 wanaoishi Tanzania wanahifadhiwa.

Sweden gives UN extra USD 6.4 million for development activities in Tanzania
The Swedish Embassy in Tanzania has signed an agreement with the United Nations in Tanzania whereby Sweden contributes an additional USD 6.4 million (approx. Sh 14.8 billion) to support the continuation of UN development activities over the next year. The agreement, which was launched today by Ambassador of Sweden to Tanzania, H.E. Anders Sjöberg and Acting UN Resident Coordinator, Ms. Christine Musisi, will enable the UN to take forward its work for the social and economic development of women, children and youth, promotion of inclusive economic growth and employment, and strengthening democratic governance, human rights and gender equality in Tanzania.
With the latest contribution, Sweden’s overall support to the UN Tanzania under its current strategic document, the UN Development Assistance Plan II (2016-2022), is over USD 40 million. This generous support has been instrumental in enabling the UN to assist the governments on the mainland and Zanzibar at national and local levels to enhance policy and planning frameworks on a number of key developmental issues. It has also enabled the UN to support functioning of local businesses with viable and inclusive value chains generating employment, especially for women and young people, and ensuring their active and meaningful participation in the economy.
In partnership with the Government, UN agencies have been working to strengthen measures for improved accountability, transparency, and gender responsiveness, including access to justice and opportunities for citizen engagement. As a result of UN’s support, women and girls on both the mainland and in Zanzibar have benefitted from increased opportunities to hold leadership positions in political and public life at national and sub-national levels.
Through UN’s engagement with a range of partners in support to the five-year National Plan of Action to End Violence Against Women and Children (NPA), more women and children have access to and are better served by a national protection system that prevents and responds to all forms of violence and harmful practices. Multisectoral protection mechanisms are operational and are helping to address violence and protection needs at district, ward and village levels.
Highlighting Sweden’s commitment to Tanzania’s social and economic development, Ambassador Sjöberg said that Sweden has prioritized supporting UN activities that focus on the country’s development objectives in the areas of women’s rights, democratic governance and economic growth, leaving no one behind.
“For Sweden to ‘leave no one behind’ is both a prerequisite and a goal for inclusive sustainable development. Equality and inclusion are at the center of our development agenda. Sweden prioritizes strengthening the rights, representation, and access to resources for women and other vulnerable groups, because it is a vital component for building a growing, resilient, and democratic society,” he said.
Reiterating their continued support to Tanzania and the UN, Ambassador Sjöberg also reaffirmed Sweden’s commitment to the UN Secretary-General’s reforms and recognized the added value that UN agencies can bring to the table by working in a coordinated approach in close collaboration with the Government, development partners, and civil society.
Speaking on behalf of the UN system in Tanzania, Acting UN Resident Coordinator, Ms. Christine Musisi, thanked both the government and the people of Sweden for their sustained support. She pointed out that Sweden has been a dependable development partner for the UN and Tanzania.
“Sweden has been a strong partner of Tanzania and the UN for many decades. We thank them for their support which will enable UN agencies to continue working with the Government and other stakeholders in support of achieving national development priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” she said.
Ms. Musisi added that, “This contribution will support the UN’s work across a broad range of areas such as promoting decent employment opportunities for Tanzanians, advancing good governance principles and women’s leadership in politics as well as preventing violence against women and children.”
