Living and Working Conditions:
Field Office Kasulu is located in the Kigoma Region and it is approximately 1500 kms away from the Regional Economic City of Dar Es Salaam, and some 55 kms from the Tanzania/Burundi border. The total district area is estimated at 9,324 square kilometers. It is located at an altitude of 1,400 to 1,800 meters above sea level with atmospheric temperatures ranging 15.5 to 26 degrees centigrade depending on the season. UNHCR FO Kasulu has constructed 10 residential houses located in two compounds for international staff members. The ¿Old Staff Compound which is located less than 1 kilometer from the main office has 6 residential houses for international staff; and the new staff compound just adjacent to the office contains 4 houses. IUNVs are mostly sharing accommodation, with separate bed and bathrooms. Although basic, the houses are fully furnished with needed furniture as well as mosquito-nets, kitchen. Because the houses do not contain air conditioners, coping with the dust during the dry season is a challenge. The PAMA telephone facility is available in all the staff houses and can be used to communicate internationally using assigned PIN Codes. The office has also extended the provision of internet facility to the residences as well as satellite TV (DSTV) in their accommodations, although the DSTV is paid for at their own cost. However, UNHCR owned houses are not enough for all international staff, some are renting houses in the town. Kasulu offers a limited choice of food and other items which means that internationally recruited staff often have to rely on visits to Kigoma or elsewhere in order to cover basic needs. There are no duty free shops or supermarkets. Due to the lack of basic facilities, families of staff members (national and international) are mostly living elsewhere even though Kasulu is classified to be a family duty station. Recreation facilities in Kasulu are very basic. Kigoma, which is the closest town (96 kms by road), is not easily accessible as staff members have to rely on UN vehicles and those wishing to travel have make their own private arrangement for the use of vehicle. Alternatively public transport to Kigoma Town is available through the local taxis and minibuses.
