Project Description
Asylum Access is in the process of implementing a
survey of migrants in detention in key regions of Tanzania and is looking for
someone to assist in analysing data and writing our report. The purpose of the
survey is to identify migrants’ legal status, screen migrants who may be
released from detention, and identify best practices to reducing unnecessary
detention. Although our project will also reach migrants from the Great Lakes
region, the primary focus is on reaching migrants from the Horn of Africa, who
make up the majority of the detained migrant population.

The project focuses in the following target areas:
- Migrants’ transportation routes, purpose of
travel, and intended destination - Whether migrants are victims of human
trafficking and the extent to which migrants are trafficked - Whether migrants are registered refugees and
the reasons for the detention of registered refugees - Whether migrants are children and may be
released from detention or reunified with their families - Whether migrants have valid onward visas to
leave Tanzania - Whether migrants have the means and
willingness to repatriate themselves to their country of origin - Whether and to what extent access to judicial
or other procedures may allow the Prisons Service to release migrants from
detention, and what the barriers are to access to such procedures
The Consultant will learn first-hand about the challenges
and opportunities of global human rights advocacy, and will play a vital role
in furthering Asylum Access’s mission to make refugee human rights a reality.
