Burundi

Since the mid-1980s, GRET has occasionally worked in Burundi, first on food product processing, then on media issues.

After conducting a study of land issues in Burundi in 2008, GRET was again solicited by CCFD–Terre Solidaire to conduct a regional-scale land tenure study in the Great Lakes region (Burundi, Rwanda, and DRC). The objective was three-fold: identify the problems involved in the stakes and challenges of securing local populations’ land rights in function of the specific characteristics of the three countries (population density, return of refugees, social peace, etc.), place the current choices in land policies into perspective with these issues and the major orientations of regional processes, and identify key issues to address in terms of land policy and field initiatives. This study was produced in partnership with a group of civil society organizations in the three countries covered by the study.
