Burundi

Goal

Interpeace has been active in Burundi since 2007. In line with Burundi's national development plan and national peace consolidation program, Interpeace's program aims to support Burundi’s sustainable and equitable development through entrenched peace and stability. It contributes to the advent of a united and prosperous Burundi by improving governance, consolidating democracy, supporting reconciliation and strengthening the population’s resilience, particularly for the most vulnerable.

Latest Highlights

Interpeace and its partners’ inclusive psychosocial support and reconciliation programming have gained public recognition and policy consideration for their positive impact on trauma healing. This has led to advocacy with the Burundian government and the National Assembly to establish a national framework for trauma healing.

Interpeace’s other programming seeks to strengthen democratic governance and civic participation. In particular, Interpeace empowers women to engage in politics at the local and national levels while working with men to understand gender dynamics and support women-led initiatives. Interpeace also works with young people from different political backgrounds to promote political and economic participation, engaging them in political training, debates, and local peacebuilding initiatives. Interpeace works with 54 local infrastructures for peace throughout the country to help resolve local issues, such as land disputes, and encourage joint problem-solving with decision-makers. In 2024, these groups addressed a total of 98 local conflicts.

In 2024, Interpeace and its partners reached 9,139 people, including 1,097 women and 868 youth, while supporting 38 activities with state actors on governance and justice issues, five with security actors, and 18 with income-generating activities.
