Annex 2 List of Persons Interviewed

Interviews were conducted with key stakeholders (refugees, host communities, local authorities, national authorities and UNHCR). Moreover were NGOs/think tanks and development partners’ country missions interviewed. The Evaluation’s time in the field was limited with the result that interviews with host communities but also with refugees were given insufficient time.

Interviews have included UNHCR staff (headquarters, country offices – the Burundi office was interviewed by telephone – and field levels), senior advisers to UNHCR in Tanzania and the former Representative to Tanzania (by telephone). A telephone interview was also held with the Head of the Africa Bureau in UNHCR Headquarters in Geneva.

In central government the Evaluation interviewed senior management in the Ministry of Home Affairs (Refugee and Immigration departments) and the Coordinator for local integration in Office of the Prime Minister (PMO-RALG). Heads of local governments or their representatives and relevant departments were interviewed in Kigoma (regional level), and Kasulu and Mpanda (district level). This was in the form of large meetings.

Interviews with implementing partners were carried out in Dar es Salaam and in the field (focus groups). Interviews with development partner representations were held in Dar es Salaam and UN organizations were interviewed in Kigoma (specifically for the Joint Programme 6.1). For the implementation of Pillar 3, the Evaluation met representatives from the UN agencies in Dar es Salaam.

Refugees and host communities were interviewed in focus groups both in and around Mtabila camp and in and around Katumba settlement. The refugees interviewed in Katumba settlement were grouped by: youth, women and men (the latter were selected headmen), this was followed by interviews with three families in their homes. The host communities around Katumba settlement were both randomly selected for interviews as well as a group of persons with considerable status in Mpanda, who had been following the naturalisation process closely were interviewed.
