Operational Context
Tanzania operation accommodates refugees from Burundi (72.17%), Democratic Republic of Congo (26.68%) and a minority of other nationalities (0.15%). As of 30th of June 2021, 63,573 Households for 253,040 individuals are registered in UNHCR databases.
Tanzania operation has migrated its data to PRIMES/proGres V4 to allow both GoT and UNHCR staff to access to same data. But a big work is still to be done in terms of training and capacity building, for the operation to reap the expected benefits of the implementation of this tool.
Tanzania is an old operation. The last verification exercise was held in 2013-2014, and a validation exercise was held in 2019. The standard to have verification is in maximum every 5 years. In another way, PRIMES, and all its related tools, is intended to be used by all units for a better protection and search for solutions for PoCs but also for a better planning of activities as well as advocacy, but numbers of data are missing and a number of that available need to be updated. Giving this, it will be highly beneficial for the office and GoT to run a full scale verification with data collection at a level 3, combined with biometric enrolment of all refugees above 5 years old within the new UNHCR¿s Biometric Identity Management System (BIMS) which will provide most value by enhancing the protection activities concerning the management of the individual identity of our PoCs and the tracking of their secondary movement.
