Tanzania is currently host to some 98,117 Burundian refugees, staying in Nduta and Nyaragusu camps for around a decade, following several waves of violence and political instability in Burundi. Voluntary returns of Burundians began in 2017 following assurances of improved security in Burundi. As of 31 January 2026, some 198,705 Burundians were supported to return back home from Tanzania and 85,519 from other countries, mainly to Cakunzo, Kirundo, Makamba, Muyinga, Rumonge, Rutana, and Ruyigi. Yet recent surveys indicate that the vast majority of returnees struggle with access to essential services such as housing, healthcare, education and livelihoods, and often find themselves caught in precarious economic circumstances once back in Burundi’s under-resourced communities.
