  • 1 Isiah Brandt Sumner-Fredericksburg High School Sumner, IA Burundi, Factor 20
    Isiah Brandt Sumner-Fredericksburg High School Sumner, IA Burundi, Factor 20: Farm to Market Burundi: Building roads for produce to be transported “Now, 50 years after the beginning of the Green Revolution, we again need Dr. Borlaug’s legacy and leadership. For in the coming decades we must confront the single greatest challenge in all human history: whether we can sustainably feed the more than 9 billion people who will be on our planet by the year 2050. Greater than going to the moon; greater than preventing nuclear war; greater than curing cancer, I would argue it is the most difficult issue we've ever confronted." -World Food Prize President Ambassador Kenneth Quinn Why are people hungry today? In a time of prosperity, why are people hungry? The technology and information are available to have a very efficient and prosperous world, but people are still hungry. How can we utilize what we have to prevent poverty? Why aren’t we? There are barriers. The barriers must be knocked down. People are preventing themselves from having a prosperous country by putting up barriers for themselves. This is what Burundi’s government has done for its people. A lot of the barriers were not formed for what they are currently doing, but the government has done very little to remove them. They know about them, but why is nothing still being done? Is there an answer? Do they know the question? From my prospective, the question is; why are people still hungry? Steps may be taken to solve the problem or question.

  • Burundi Final Report 1Feb17
    FINAL REPORT RFS N. 2015/367563 1.1 REPUBLIC OF BURUNDI 1.1.1 Legal 1.1.1.1 International Law The Constitution of Burundi deals with the issue of international treaties and agreements in sections 290 to 294. The section relevant to this study are section 290 and 292: Section 290 stipulates that specific treaties may only be ratified by virtue of law, i.e. must be approved by Parliament and section 292 indicates when a treaty enters into force and provides for reservations to the signing of a treaty should it be in contradiction to the Constitution. The process for ratification of an international agreement in Burundi is as follows: The Line Ministry negotiates an international agreement that falls within its mandate; The Line Ministry compiles the law for the ratification of the agreement (“project de loi”); The law is submitted to the Ministry of International Relations who compiles an instrument of ratification; The law and the Instrument of Ratification is submitted to the Ministry of Justice who provides a legal opinion on it; The bill, the instrument of ratification and the opinion are submitted to Cabinet for approval; After approval, Cabinet submits the Bill, the Instrument of Ratification and the Opinion to the Assembly for its approval; After approval by the Senate, the President approves the bill and the instrument of ratification after which it is formally ratified. Burundi does not need to ratify EAC laws, but they do have to amend their national laws if the national laws contradict the EAC law. The VLM MOU as well as the MCBRTA is drafted as a multilateral agreement, which facilitate easier implementation in the Tripartite Region but in the case of Burundi, it will complicate the implementation process as the agreements will have to be ratified in accordance with the process described above.
