Despite facing its own economic challenges, for decades Tanzania has welcomed thousands of refugees fleeing conflicts in neighboring countries of Great Lakes Region. The counties geographic proximity to the strifetorn Congo Basin is resp...onsible in part for the ease access of displaced populations. As well Tanzania was an early signatory in the region to international agreements on the rights and welfare of refugee and asylum seekers As of December, 2018, Tanzania host some 284,300 camp-based refugees, 77% of who are children and woman, in Nduta, Nyarugusu and Mtendeli Refugee Camps in Kigoma region in Northwest Tanzania.

The building damage assessment, conducted between March 2010 and February 2011 by the Government of Haiti and the United Nations system, showed that more than 400,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed, of which approximately 218,000 could be occupied without repairs (green category), 105,000 were ...damaged but could be repaired (yellow category), and 80,000 were severely damaged and remained uninhabitable (red category).
The destruction of buildings and infrastructure generated a huge amount of debris, estimated at 10 million cubic meters, blocking streets and land in affected areas. In the absence of a national debris management strategy, debris could, thus, be cleared and disposed of in an uncontrolled manner, hindering relief, recovery and reconstruction activities.

After five consecutive below-average rains, the humanitarian crisis in the Horn of Africa is expanding and deepening.
Combined with insecurity and macroeconomic volatility, the impact of the drought on food and nutrition security has been devastating. Across Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia, an estima...ted 22 million people are now acutely food insecure because of the drought. The malnutrition situation is also critical. Some 5.1 million children across drought-affected areas of the three countries are acutely malnourished in 2023, with dire implications for their health, growth and survival. Concerningly, the upcoming March-May 2023 rains are also forecast to be below-average. Should these rains fail, and humanitarian assistance not be delivered at scale, food insecurity will continue to deteriorate.
Regardless of how the 2023 rains perform, extremely high humanitarian needs will persist through 2023 while a full recovery from a drought of this magnitude will take years. To address the devastating drought-induced hunger and malnutrition across the region, WFP is pursuing an integrated dual track approach; meeting immediate life-saving food and nutritional needs while simultaneously building resilience to extreme climate variability.

L’enquête ENPS 2016 avait pour objectif de mesurer la situation des indicateurs d’accessibilité et d’utilisation des moyens préventifs et curatifs définis dans le cadre des directives du PNLP au Sénégal. Elle entre dans le cadre de l’évaluation périodique du niveau de réalisation de...s objectifs et des résultats attendus à partir de données du terrain afin d’adapter continuellement les décisions aux réalités du terrain. En particulier, cette étude s’est intéressée à documenter la situation des indicateurs de couverture et d’utilisation des différentes interventions de lutte contre le paludisme. En particulier, la couverture et l’utilisation ou exposition des moyens préventifs (MI, TPI chez la femme enceinte, AID et CPS dans les zones ciblées) ont été documentés ainsi que les types et modalités de la prise en charge des cas de fièvre chez l’enfant et la femme enceinte. Par ailleurs, ces indicateurs ont été renseignés en tenant compte des variations régionales, de districts et du milieu de résidence (urbain et rural). L’analyse a aussi tenu compte des variations liées aux faciès épidémiologiques et des zones d’intervention couvertes par les différentes stratégies.
