Burundi, a small landlocked country located in East Africa, has a population of approximately 12 million people. The country is bordered by Rwanda, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Burundi, which gained independence from Belgium in 1962, is known for its political instability, poverty, and ethnic conflict. The country has experienced several coups and attempted coups since gaining independence, with the most recent one occurring in 2015. Burundi is also known for its civil war, which lasted from 1993 to 2005 and claimed the lives of approximately 300,000 people. Despite these challenges, Burundi remains home to several ethnic groups, including the Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa people, and has a rich cultural heritage. Burundi is primarily an agricultural economy, with coffee and tea being the main exports. However, the country also has significant deposits of nickel, cobalt, and uranium. Burundi has a relatively young population, with over half of its inhabitants being under the age of 25. The country has made significant progress in improving its healthcare and education systems, with a particularly strong focus on increasing access for girls and women. The government has also implemented policies aimed at reducing poverty and promoting economic development. Despite these efforts, Burundi remains one of the poorest countries in the world, with the majority of the population living below the poverty line.

Rwanda And Burundi A General Introduction written by Rehema Gwangu Syabumi and has been published by Kindle Digital Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-03-17 with Education categories.
This is a general introduction to Rwanda and Burundi, twin nations in the Great Lakes region of East Africa, which are composed of members of the same ethnic groups: Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa. Subjects covered include geography, recent history and how the people live – some of their customs and traditions and how they earn their living among other subjects. The book also covers some of the crises the countries have faced in recent years to provide a more comprehensive picture of life in those countries which have been some of the most traumatised in the history of post-colonial Africa. The book is intended for members of the general public although some of them may find the work too detailed in terms of recent history for general purposes and may feel that it is better suited to those interested in research and academic pursuits relating to these twin nations. It will probably serve both, the general reader and members of the academic community, without being too detailed yet comprehensive enough to be of interest to students in African studies including those who specialise in doing research on the Great Lakes region of East Africa with particular emphasis on Rwanda and Burundi.

Little known in the English-speaking world, Burundi is Rwanda's twin, a small Central African country with a complex history of ethnic tension between its Hutu and Tutsi populations that has itself experienced traumatic events, including mass killings of over 200,000 people. The country remained in a state of simmering civil war until 2004, after which Julius Nyerere and Nelson Mandela took turns as mediators in a lengthy, and eventually successful, peace process which has endowed Burundi with new institutions, including a new constitution, that led to the election of a majority Hutu government in 2005. But there are many problems still to solve apart from ethnic tensions, above all the entrenched poverty of most Burundians, which has seen it designated by NGOs as one of the most deprived countries on earth.Nigel Watt's book discusses the troubled political fortunes of this beautiful yet disturbed country in the heart of Central Africa. He traces the origins of its political crises, sheds light on Burundi's recent history by means of interviews with leading participants and those whose lives have been affected by horrific events, and helps demystify the country's ethnic divisions.

This book identifies the continuities and transformations of violence in Burundi and shows how violence has been intensified through the introduction of modern concepts of masculinity. It shows how Burundi is linked to the patterns of recurrent genocidal violence in Rwanda, Congo and Uganda. Patricia Daley argues passionately for a revised feminist-historical approach to understanding violence and reforming the processes whereby local and international bodies put together peace agreements.

Burundi has recently emerged from twelve years of devastating civil war. Its economy has been destroyed and hundreds and thousands of people have been killed. In this book, the voices of ordinary Burundians are heard for the first time. Farmers, artisans, traders, mothers, soldiers and students talk about the past and the future, war and peace, their hopes for a better life and their relationships with each other and the state. Young men, in particular, often seen as the cause of violence and war, talk about the difficulties of living up to standards of masculinity in an impoverished and war-torn society. Weaving a rich tapestry, Peter Uvin pitches the ideas and aspirations of people on the ground against the theory and assumptions often made by the international development and peace-building agencies and organisations. In doing this, he illuminates both shared goals and misunderstandings. This groundbreaking book on conflict and society in Africa will have profound repercussions for development across the world.

With limited land, capital, and a fast growing population, Burundi's main asset is its youthful population. Its main challenge is also to create good quality jobs for its youth. With low levels of educational attainment and poor health status, the quality of this young population is poor. After more than 13 years of conflict ending in 2000, and a period of modest recovery, Burundi has the opportunity to stimulate growth. Burundi is making strides in creating one of the fundamentals of job creation - investment climate. Investing in the skills of the population is critical for the success of growth strategy and for creating productive employment opportunities for Burundi's youth. The Government of Burundi is introducing a major reform in the education sector which is going to significantly impact skills in Burundi. This analytical report will contribute to defining a skills development strategy for Burundi to complement the growth strategy. It looks at the potential impact of the basic education reform on the quantity and education attainment of the working age population. Further it looks at the skills demands that are likely to emerge if Burundi upgrades along the value chain in selected sectors to ensure strong alignment of occupation competencies in growth sectors. The report is structured as follows: section one gives introduction. Section two gives impacts of the new basic education reform, and its pace of implementation, for the education levels of potential new workers, and of the population, over the next 10-15 years. Section three presents the potential upgrading strategies for moving up the value chain in the selected sectors. Section four presents current framework for strategic direction, demand-led approach, and coordination of the technical vocational education and training (TVET) system.

This study examines the political economy of post-conflict economic recovery in Rwanda and Burundi. These two countries, located in the Great Lakes region of East Africa, are commonly referred to as twins. They are relatively similar in size; are landlocked; have a similar topography, population density, ethnic composition, culture, and language; and share a colonial legacy as well as a tragic history of genocide. Despite the similarities shared by these two countries, Rwanda has been more successful in recovering economically from civil war, while Burundi has been in a cycle of civil strife mired with poverty. Why has Rwanda been more successful than Burundi in post-conflict economic growth and development? This study argues that the differences between Rwanda and Burundi's transition from conflict to peace, political elite dynamics, and center-periphery relationships are key in explaining the divergence in their post-conflict economic outcomes. These insights facilitate a better understanding of how politics influence the trajectory of post-conflict economic recovery. Rwanda and Burundi, located in the Great Lakes region of East Africa, are commonly referred to as twins. They are relatively similar in size; are landlocked; have a similar topography, population density, ethnic composition, culture, and language; and share a colonial legacy as well as a tragic history of genocide. Despite the similarities shared by these two countries, Rwanda has been more successful in recovering economically from civil war, while Burundi has been in a cycle of civil strife mired with poverty. Why has Rwanda been more successful than Burundi in post-conflict economic growth and development? This study undertakes a comparative case study of Rwanda and Burundi to ascertain why growth is sustained in some post-conflict countries and not in others. It examines elite dynamics and center-periphery dynamics that emerged in Rwanda and Burundi after their respective transitions from conflict to peace. This study finds that the nature of post-conflict political settlements influence and incentivize political elites to deliver economic growth and development to the societies they serve. These insights facilitate a better understanding of the challenges facing economic recovery in post-conflict countries. Following the introduction chapter, the second chapter analyzes Rwanda transition from conflict to peace, highlighting key aspects of the political elite dynamics and center-periphery dynamics that led to the country's remarkable post-conflict economic trajectory. The third chapter reviews Burundi's long path from conflict to peace, homing-in on the political elite dynamics of the power sharing agreement as well as the center-periphery dynamics that led to the country's dismal post-conflict economic performance. Finally, this study concludes by analyzing the findings from the analysis of the aforementioned hypotheses. This conclusion also seeks to infer the underlying implications of politics on post-conflict economic development.
