Word count: 22,630 ABSTRACT Burundi is a small landlocked country in the southeast of the African continent, with Rwanda to the North, Tanzania to the East and South and the Democratic Republic of Congo lying to the west, with a population of around 10 million. It regularly ranks towards the bottom of international development charts and the bulk of its population is under 15 years old. It has suffered several cyclical episodes of violence fostered by ethnic tensions since it achieved independence in 1962. However in the last decade Burundi has experienced a period of peace and the children of today have no directly experience of civil war and other exactions, and it is these children that represent the future of the country. This thesis fits into a larger research project on the intergenerational reproduction of violence and resilience for primary school children. The fieldwork has been conducted in Gitega, the second largest city of the country. The focus employed throughout the thesis is to scrutinize the aspirations and potential of primary school children. I aim to relate their life-projects with elements of the socio-economic context and investigate what are the determinants and underlying reasons and implications of their conception and predictions of their future. In order to do so, data has been collected through a combination of surveys, focus groups, interviews, drawings and observation thus the methodology employed derives from mixed-methods analysis techniques. The primary theoretical foundation of this investigation is composed using the bio-ecological environmental framework of Bronfenbrenner, which allows this research to construct the reflection with the child as both the subject and the actor of his or her development. The dreams and hopes of the children are presented, analysed, and put in contrast with the structural violence of their reality. The principal finding of this thesis is that the conceptualization of the projects of the children in Gitega is driven by the desire for power, under several forms and at a number of different levels. I argue that children consider power as a means to cope with the harshest elements of their reality and as a strategy to protect themselves in the future. Power is thus seen as an active resilience mechanism. Interpretation of the data leads to the conclusion that the ownership of their livelihood is of utter importance and that life-satisfaction is the result of a bargain between power and its retributions. School is considered as a place of shelter and as the most powerful trigger towards the realization of their projects but at the same time can also be a source of frustrations, particularly due to the huge differences in quality of education between private and public schooling. Physical violence is still widespread at school from the part of the professor and there is a process of internalization of violence from the part of the children, particularly concerning punishments. In the conception of their projects, the children make categorisation of the activities they hope to undertake in the future and have positive or negative considerations about certain categories. Keywords: active resilience, forms of power, life-projects, Burundi, primary schooling, structural violence, mixed-methods 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Je voudrais en premier lieu remercier tous les enfants qui m’ont aidé à accomplir ce travail qui, je dois le dire, a été de longue haleine. J’espère pouvoir vous recroiser un jour et voir comment vous avez réussi à accomplir vos rêves. Ego, vraiment.

Para mi gente de Perù también, me fui a otro continente pero es para regresar todavía más fuerte, ténganlo por seguro. Los quiero. Mes amis de Lorient, de Paris ou d’ailleurs en France, vous savez. I also would like to warmly and deeply thank Jacobijn Olthoff and Lidewyde Berckmoes, my supervisors, who have accompanied me in the conception and redaction of this thesis. Your pieces of advice, recommendations and critics have guided me, helped me, and made me learn a lot. I consider this thesis as a collective work and it would have been impossible to achieve it without your participation. It is a collective work and I am proud to have been trusted by you. Super bedankt! I also have to mention all my comrades of the IDS master, along whom I had the chance to discover the world with a researcher perspective, a chance that is definitively worth it. I also thank all the team of the master, for the insights, support and knowledge they provided me. Enfin et surtout, je voudrais remercier tous mes amis au Burundi, ce beau pays où je sais que je retournerai. Saida (les dames d’abord) Aubin et Cédric (ordre alphabétique désolé) particulièrement, qui m’ont tellement aidé dans mon travail, mais m’ont aussi accueilli dans leurs cœurs comme je les ai accueillis dans le mien.

  • Situation Report #2, Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 March 25, 2003 Note: the Last Situation Report Was Dated November 18, 2002
    U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT BUREAU FOR DEMOCRACY, CONFLICT, AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE (DCHA) OFFICE OF U.S. FOREIGN DISASTER ASSISTANCE (OFDA) BURUNDI – Complex Emergency Situation Report #2, Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 March 25, 2003 Note: The last situation report was dated November 18, 2002. BACKGROUND The Tutsi minority, which represents 14 percent of Burundi’s 6.85 million people, has dominated the country politically, militarily, and economically since national independence in 1962. Approximately 85 percent of Burundi’s population is Hutu, and approximately one percent is Twa (Batwa). The current cycle of violence began in October 1993 when members within the Tutsi-dominated army assassinated the first freely elected President, Melchoir Ndadaye (Hutu), sparking Hutu-Tutsi fighting. Ndadaye’s successor, Cyprien Ntariyama (Hutu), was killed in a plane crash on April 6, 1994, alongside Rwandan President Habyarimana. Sylvestre Ntibantunganya (Hutu) took power and served as President until July 1996, when a military coup d’etat brought current President Pierre Buyoya (Tutsi) to power. Since 1993, an estimated 300,000 Burundians have been killed. In August 2000, nineteen Burundian political parties signed the Peace and Reconciliation Agreement in Arusha, Tanzania, overseen by peace process facilitator, former South African President Nelson Mandela. The Arusha Peace Accords include provisions for an ethnically balanced army and legislature, and for democratic elections to take place after three years of transitional government. The three-year transition period began on November 1, 2001. President Pierre Buyoya is serving as president for the first 18 months of the transition period, to be followed in May 2003 by a Hutu president for the final 18 months.

  • BACKGROUND of BENEFICIALS SCHOOLS the Burundi Government Has Just Set up a Project to Create Five Schools of Excellence (Year 2016- 2017) Throughout the Country
    BACKGROUND OF BENEFICIALS SCHOOLS The Burundi Government has just set up a project to create five schools of excellence (Year 2016- 2017) throughout the country. The goal is to prepare the future leaders of the country who will serve in the public and private administration, scientific research centers and digital innovations. The schools are implemented throughout the country, the selection criteria of students are based on national test for the first students of 6 grades in all elementary schools of Burundi. They do a test of French and Mathematics that will determine the best Burundian students among those classified - 1st class - at the end of their curriculum of the basic school. The excellence schools are: • Lycée MUSENYI in Ngozi Province (for students from Ngozi, Kayanza, Kirundo and Muyinga provinces); • Lycée NOTRE DAME DE LA SAGESSE of Gitega province (for students from Gitega, Karuzi, Muramvya and Mwaro provinces); • Lycée KIREMBA Bururi Province (for student form Rumonge, Bururi and Makamba Provinces); • Lycée RUSENGO in Ruyigi Province (for students of Ruyigi, Cankuzo and Rutana provinces); • E.N NGAGARA in Bujumbura province (for students from Bujumbura Provinces, Bujumbura Town Hall, Bubanza and Cibitoke). The project goal is to equipping the schools of excellence with an ICT Labs and to train teachers in ICT, who will later facilitate the Education of ICT and Innovation, Creativity and digital Entrepreneurship for those students from all sections of the society. The project will then be an inspiration for the Government and all the secondary schools in Burundi. During the school holidays, the students and youths community from around the beneficial schools will also use the computers labs to benefit to the opportunity that ICT is offering in this digital age.
