IMPACTS OF REFUGEES TO THE ENVIRONMENT  Deforestation due to high demand of firewood (cooking energy) and construction materials for refugees houses  Rivers and water sources pollution  Soil erosion due cultivation activities, camp setup and construction activities  Conflict between the refugees and the host community due to sharing of scarce natural resources  Poaching of wildlife from protected area (Moyowosi-kigosi game reserve)

MITIGATION INITIATIVES TO THE ENVIRONMENT IMPACTS  Fuel Efficient Stoves (FES) fabrication and Installation  Piloting on alternative cooking energy  Trees planting  Rivers and Water sources Conservation  Soil Conservation

TREE SEEDLINGS RAISING Pricking out of tree seedlings in host Raising of tree seedlings for Mtendeli refugee community nursery camp

CHALLENGES RELATED TO COOKING ENERGY  Scarcity of firewood within the Camps and neighboring areas  Lack of alternative cooking Energy  Increase of SGBV cases

GAPS • In adequate funding particularly in Energy sector • Poor participation of private sectors in humanitarian settings specifically in Tanzania

RECOMMENDATIONS • Donor/Humanitarian actors should increase funding to energy sector specifically in cooking energy for Refugees. • The private sector is encouraged to involves in the humanitarian streamline
