    Abstract
    In 2015, Mozambique was host to a total of 13,217 refugees. The Maratane refugee camp was the only official settlement for asylum seekers and refugee in Mozambique since 2003, hosting 7,360 refugees (1,784 households). The majority of refugees were from the Great Lakes Region, namely Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. The nutrition study in 2012 found a stable level of acute malnutrition, but persistent high levels of chronic malnutrition amongst children, and anaemia amongst both children and adult women. UNHCR conducted two nutrition surveys in Maratane’s refugee camp between the 25th of April and the 2nd of May 2015, one with a representative sample of the refugee population of the camp and another with the children of refugees who have arrived within the last six months to the camp.
