Nearly 46,000 refugees are now living in Mahama camp (30,000 in the original camp, and 16,000 in the extended camp); transition to semi-permanent housing is ongoing.
Attendance at the education orientation programme increased by 25% from 11,000 to 14,000 students in the past month.
Cases of severe acute malnutrition continue to decline and treatment is ongoing successfully; to date 417 children have been discharged as cured and 93 remain in treatment.
Water provision in Mahama camp has improved during December, meeting minimum standards of 15 litres/day/person.
Durable sanitation facilities are being built to serve the Burundian refugee population who might stay in the camp for a longer period.
