Moving Beyond The UNSCR 1325 Framework: Women as economic participants during and after conflict Tamara Antoinette Kool Maastricht University & UNU‐MERIT; email: [email protected] Abstract Conflict has a detrimental effect on the structures of local communities. Current research shows that the direct and indirect effects of conflict are especially destructive for women. Although the call for a gender focus in (post‐)conflict countries has garnered international attention with the adoption of Women, Peace and Security Resolutions by the UN Security Council, the issue is still understudied. Often, the interlinkage between the political empowerment of women, violence against women and the economic position of women is overlooked. Yet, coping strategies related to the direct and indirect effects of conflict result in political and economic participation. This integrated effect stresses the importance of understanding the role of women in the post‐conflict economy and its relationship to ‘social services justice’.

  • "Report on Burundi" PDF Document
    Burundi Republic of Burundi With a surface area of 27,830 km2, Burundi is one of the smallest countries in Africa. Situated in the heart of the Great Lakes region, with hilly and mountainous terrain, Burundi forms the watershed between the basins of the Congo and the Nile. It lies on Lake Tanganyika, the second largest lake in Africa, but has no direct connection to the sea. The majority of the population of over 10.2 million (July 2011, CIA World Factsheet) earn their living from farming. Approximately 50% of the population are under the age of 15. Rapid population growth is driving up the pressure on what is already scarce agricultural land. Burundi is one of the poorest countries in the world, with an average per capita national income of USD 130. The Netherlands has an embassy office in Burundi. The Dutch ambassador to Rwanda, who is based in Kigali, is also accredited to Burundi. Burundi is home to an estimated 40 Dutch nationals, while the Burundian community in the Netherlands comprises over 3,200 people. Burundi’s Minister of External Relations and International Cooperation visited The Hague last April. Talks between the two countries mainly focus on development cooperation, the bilateral security sector programme, human rights and Burundi’s participation in international peace missions. Political situation Since achieving independence in 1962, Burundi has been torn by internal conflicts arising from the ethnic divisions between the Hutu majority (85% of the population) and the Tutsi minority (14%). The assassination of the president in 1993 was followed by a civil war (1993 to 2005) which laid the country waste.

Article DOI: https://doi.org/10.36713/epra5265 ABSTRACT This paper investigated the impact of exports and imports on the economic growth in Burundi. To achieve this purpose, annual data for the periods between 1989 and 2018 were tested. The study used Granger Causality and Johansen Co- integration approach for long-run relationship Using Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Phillip-Perron (PP) stationarity test, the variable proved to be integrated of the order I(1) at first difference. Johansen and Juselius Co-integration test was used to determine the presence or otherwise of a co-integrating vector in the variables. To find out the direction of causality among the variables, at least in the short-run, the Pairwise Granger Causality was carried out. Exports were found to Granger Cause imports. The results show that there is unidirectional causality between exports and imports. These results provide evidence that growth in Burundi was propelled by a growth-led import strategy as well as export-led import.

  • WT/TPR/S/384 • East African Community (EAC)
    WT/TPR/S/384 • East African Community (EAC) - 5 - SUMMARY 1. The East African Community (EAC) consists of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Sudan (which is not yet a WTO Member). Agriculture remains the key driver of the economies of the EAC countries but the services sector is the main contributor to their GDP. In fact, most of the populations (about 80%) live in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their livelihood. High costs of doing business limit the importance of manufacturing to these economies, while recent oil discoveries, mainly in Kenya and Uganda, are expected to boost the economic development of the countries. Nonetheless, EAC countries face various socio-economic challenges despite their favourable conditions for agriculture, their important sources of renewable energy, and their total population of over 168.2 million. With the exception of Kenya, they all remain least developed countries (LDCs) and are yet to significantly diversify their economies. 2. During the period under review, the EAC WTO Members recorded strong GDP growth driven by increased public investments in transport and energy infrastructures, favourable weather conditions and strategic policy interventions. Agricultural production was boosted and, driven by buoyant tourism activities, the services sector also recorded a good performance. Individually, performance was mixed. Kenya's good economic performance helped it to acquire the status of lower-middle-income country in 2014, according to the World Bank's classification. Rwanda's strong and continuous economic growth has also been accompanied by steady improvements in many of its social indicators. However, the economy of Burundi has been severely affected by its political crisis since 2015, although recovery signs were noticeable in 2016 and 2017.

  • Crisis in Burundi
    Es HUMANITARIAN AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME CRISIS IN BURUNDI: A Three-Year Outlook for the Region 2016-2019 September 2016 HUMANITARIAN FORESIGHT THINK TANK Central & West Africa Report l’IRIS 1 HUMANITARIAN FORESIGHT THINK TANK CRISIS IN BURUNDI: a three-year outlook for the region / September 2016 INTRODUCTION The small state of Burundi has since April 2015 been rocked by political violence, targeted killings, and allegations of torture. Massive numbers of refugees have fled a crisis1 that many worry could return the country to civil war after nearly a decade of peace. Attempts at political dialogue have failed to chart a way forward for a country once hailed as one of the few successes of a robust regional and international peacebuilding agenda. Nearly all opposition leaders, independent journalists, human rights advocates, and leading civil society members have fled the country due to state-sanctioned threats, surveillance and repression2. The state, meanwhile, has grown increasingly hardline in the face of regional and international opposition to Nkurunziza’s third mandate and a string of assassinations targeting ruling party officials and members of the security forces3. The African Union and the United Nations together have made little headway responding to abuses or to furthering a negotiated solution. An attempt to send 5000 troops for an initial six months’ renewable African Prevention and Protection Mission in Burundi (Maprobu) fell flat and has been replaced by a decision to send 228 policemen to rein in violence, but the Burundian government has categorically rejected that as well4. Meanwhile, opposition groups are arming 1 UNHCR (2016) Data: Refugees from Burundi 2 Amnesty International .
