Conflicts in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Lake Chad basin, northwest and southwest Cameroon and the triangle of northern Burkina Faso, central Mali and western Niger have led to mass displacement, both internally and across borders.

Mauritania hosts over 2,500 urban refugees and asylum- seekers and almost 56,000 Malian refugees in and around Mbera camp. Despite the conclusion of a peace agreement in 2015, large-scale returns of Malian refugees are not expected due to persistent violence in northern Mali. In December alone, 69 new arrivals were registered in Mbera camp. In the context of this protracted situation, UNHCR is engaging with several actors to strenghten the humanitarian-development nexus, in order to reduce refugees’ needs, risks and vulnerabilities.
