All models projected increases in temperature and wind speed compared to the baseline period 1981–2010. Five models forecasted an increase in rainfall at northern Imbo plain station while four models projected a decrease in rainfall at Rwegura station. November was forecasted by the ensemble mean model to slightly increase in rainfall for both stations.

Observed and gridded data were considered over the period 1981 − 2010 while simulations from eight selected Regional Climate Models (RCM) provided by Africa−CORDEX program were used over a period spanning from 1981 to mid−21st century. Two emission scenarios RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 were considered, and RCM data were downscaled at local climate using Empirical Statistical Downscaling method and bias adjusted using Quantile Delta Mapping method. Trends were detected through Mann-Kendall’s test while Pettitt’s test was adopted for break point detection. Regression based statistical model 19 was utilized for streamflow prediction. The findings revealed a decrease in rainfall over the northern highlands while a general increase in temperature was detected all over the study area.

Box 7180, Bujumbura, Burundi. 4IRAZ, Mashitsi, Burundi. 5Université Catholique de Graben, Butembo, North Kivu, DR Congo. Accepted 5 September, 2013 Burundi is part of the secondary centre of diversity for the east African highland bananas (Musa AAA- EA). However, Musa diversity in Burundi has declined in the past two decades due to pests, diseases and civil unrest. A Musa germplasm diagnostic survey carried out in three provinces- Gitega in Central, Kirundo in Northern and Cibitoke in north-western Burundi, assessed on-farm Musa diversity, Musa selection criteria influencing Musa diversity and genetic erosion. Musa diversity was determined by the number and relative abundance of Musa cultivars in the study communities. Thirty-three (33) cultivars were recorded across the three provinces. Gitega and Kirundo had a higher Musa diversity than Cibitoke. Low Musa diversity in Cibitoke can be attributed to the existence of a few cultivars adapted to the low altitude; specialization in beer types for the market and the effect of diseases. Though 11 cultivars were widely grown, only four covered 77% of the Burundian banana landscape.
