WFP aims to increase the number of refugees receiving cash in lieu of food assistance
throughout 2017.
Since the start of unrest in Burundi in April 2015, almost 190,000 Burundians have sought
refuge in Tanzania. Combined with the existing caseload of refugees, primarily from the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania now hosts more than a quarter of a million
refugees. Hundreds of refugees continue to arrive every day from Burundi. WFP requires
some US$6 million per month to continue assisting the growing refugee population in 2017.

WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide, delivering food
assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build
resilience. Each year, WFP assists some 80 million people in around 80 countries.
