Among the attendees were housemaids, apprentices learning different trades, vendors, workers from various economic sectors; snail, pig, chicken and fish breeders; hairdres- sers, market gardeners and children involved in other numerous jobs and who, for the most part, are either working or studying in formal schools or taking literacy courses by AMWCY. 2,084 were children who were less than 18 years old; while the youths included 725; girls, 1,358 and boys, 1,451. They were represented by 163 children and youths (each one of them representing more than 17 WCYs) in the national consultations organized in 5 countries (see below); Local consultations were held in 105 localities broken down as follows: Benin : Abomey, Ab-Calavi, Agbangnizoun, Aguégué, Allada, Avrankou, Bassila, Bembèrèkè, Bohicon, Comè, Cotonou, Covè, Dassa, Grand-popo, Kandi, Kétou, Kpomassè, Lac, Lokossa, Malanville, Mboua, Missérété, Natitingou, Ndali, Ouidah, Parakou, Porto-Novo, Sèmèkpodji, Ségbanlan, Zakpota, Zè, Zinvié.

The figures provided show the average stances among the 5 national consultations held. These debates occurred thanks to Oak's request to AMWCY and Enda TM. Thus, WCYs were able to become more involved in this World Bank projects issue they have been closely watching. Some of the children consulted had a direct working experience from World Bank-finan- ced worksites; others worked on the periphery of those same worksites; for example, in shoddy restaurants that provided food for workers. So, this is more than an opinion children express through the experiences they describe, when they report facts, like night shifts, or various abuses they were subjected to, for example regarding wages, they must be listened to, for they know what they are talking about. When they propose some improvements, such proposals should be taken very seriously. By the way, one is struck by the fact that most of their recommendations deal with project management issues … In fact, the number of children who expressed themselves is very minimal; yet it repre- sents hundreds of thousands of members and supporters of this important African Movement of Working Children and Youth (see AMWCY statistics, Appendix 5). Let us learn to listen to them! - 6 - Consulting children on projects funded by the World Bank II. PRESENTING THE ACHIEVED OUTCOMES 1- Children and youths' level of knowledge and proximity in regards to projects on which they expressed themselves Burundi's WCY at the workshop During the five national consultations, the two following introductory questions were asked of the participants to test their knowledge, involvement and proximity in regards to the projects they expressed themselves on. 1. Have you ever heard about these projects? How? 2. Did the children have any contact with these projects? 1.1 "Have you ever heard about these projects on which you are expressing yourself? " a) Those who said no (have not heard about it) (25%) Burkina Faso: 224 participants (including those consulted at grassroots level) have declared that they had never heard about the projects the World Bank have financed in their areas. They claimed that this is mainly due to a lack of information, which is often caused by the fact that they live far from decision-making spheres. Consulting children on projects funded by the World Bank - 7 - Burundi: Those who hold such a point of view argue that: Combining communication strategies enabled extensive communication. Different chan- nels were used to inform people in general; children and youths in particular. Administrative meetings, the media (radios, televisions, etc), press releases through churches; posters and banners were used as well. But more than 77% say that they have heard about these works while they were being implemented, and that 30% heard about them through informal ways. Children declare that they have not had any opportunity to express themselves before. Cameroon: They back their choice with the fact that some children were aware of the activities of the Project for the Improvement of Agricultural Competitiveness (PACA), of the National Program of Participative Development (PNDP) and of the Lom Pangar project (construction of the hydroelectric dam) for example, but without knowing that these activities were part of those projects. According to consulted children, the on- going projects are government projects, designed and financed by the government of Cameroon. Cote d'Ivoire: To prove that they were not informed about projects financed in their towns, regarding the following lines: - There is no radio report and "I haven't heard griots saying the World Bank has financed a project in Touba" - They have not seen any advertisement regarding a project that has been financed by the World Bank : "we do not have access to information on projects that are implemented in Abidjan" - They often get information from NGOs, governmental organizations, but they are not further informed on funding.

  • Politics of Indigeneity: Land Restitution in Burundi
    MISR WORKING PAPER NO. 25rĿħōĿĦīŊ2015 Politics of Indigeneity: Land Restitution in Burundi Haydee Bangerezako PHD FELLOW Makerere Institute of Social Research MISR WP 25 Bangerezako.indd 1 15/10/2015 09:18 2 Politics of Indigeneity: Land Restitution in Burundi Haydee Bangerezako PhD Fellow, Makerere Institute of Social Research Activities of the land commission were brought to a halt this year in March 2015, after communities living in the southern province of Makamba bor- dering Tanzania in Burundi, barricaded roads using stones and tree trunks to prevent the land commission’s agents from implementing their deci- sions in favour of claimants. For over two weeks, both residents abasangwa, and repatriates abahungutse, stood together to oppose the land commission: the Commission Nationale Terres et autres Biens (CNTB, National Commis- sion of Land and other Assets), a body revisiting land restitution cases it had previously settled. The land commission had previously favoured the sharing of property between returnees and the residents. Abasangwa and abahungutse in Makamba together now accused the commission of corrup- tion, with former claimants now owning several properties as a result of bribing the land commission’s ofcials. Residents of Nyanza-lac, Kibago, Vugizo and Mabanda communes in the Makamba province, viewed the recent move by the land commission as a form of ‘spoliation’, in their eyes the commission had enabled corrupt practices with people acquiring sev- eral plots of land through the bribing of CNTB ofcials, overturning resolved land restitution cases.1 In March 2015, the president’s ofce supported the governor’s decision to suspend temporarily activities of the CNTB till after the 2015 elections.

    En l’absence de Thomas Ndabemeye… La vérité à livrer au public sur les Receleurs Imprescriptibles. Contribution à la Commission Vérité et au Mécanisme de Justice Transitionnelle. Dossier de Rose Ntwenga, Montpellier (France), le 15 mai 2013. ANNEXE N°1 : Quelques Faits et Dates à retenir. Extraits : Trajectoires de burundais, co-responsables de l’épuration de l’Etat-major 1962-1972. André Muhirwa : Le 13 janvier 1961, il est attablé avec le prince Louis Rwagasore et d’autres convives au restaurant de l’Hôtel Tanganika lorsque ce dernier est assassiné et meurt en leur présence. Il lui succède au poste de Premier ministre. Le plan Muhirwa est considéré par plusieurs de ses contemporains et quelques historiens comme la première version du plan Simbananiye, véritable Plan-programme du génocide des Hutu du Burundi, dans ses deux phases successives celle de 1965 et celle de 1972. A compléter. Artémon Simbananiye : - Retour de France (Université de la Sorbonne) en 1962 au Burundi : Il est nommé Directeur général au ministère de la Justice. - Septembre 1965, le Mwami Mwambutsa IV le nomme Secrétaire d’Etat à la Justice. -En 1965, il est signalé comme « dirigeant la répression » contre les intellectuels et les leaders Hutu. Il refuse de coopérer avec le Représentant de la Commission Internationale des Juristes (C.I.J.), M. Philippe Graven, envoyé comme observateur à l’occasion du procès contre des Hutu accusés d’être des rebelles. -Ses visées anti - monarchistes deviennent évidentes pour le Mwami Mwambutsa IV, lorsque les membres les plus loyaux de son entourage sont exécutés sur ordre d’Artémon Simbananye.
