Check List Act Appeals Format 150 route de Ferney, P.O. Box 2100 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland Tel: 41 22 791 6033 Fax: 41 22 791 6506 E-mail: [email protected] Appeal Coordinating Office Burundi Assistance to Returnees AFBI81 Appeal Target: US$ 826,589 Geneva, 10 July 2008 Dear Colleagues, Returning Burundian populations from neighboring countries require specific support during the return process and in the initial phase of settlement. ACT members in Burundi: CNEB (Conseil National des Eglises du Burundi), LWF (Lutheran World Federation), Burundi Programme and the Province of the Anglican Church in Burundi have come together to respond and assist critical populations in vulnerable situations in a number of provinces in Burundi receiving large numbers of returnees. The returnees need varying kinds of assistance, and can be loosely classified into the three categories of facilitated repatriates, spontaneous repatriates, and expellees. The facilitated returnees under the UNHCR auspices are given food, non-food items, and 50,000 BIF (US$45). However, the spontaneous returnees and the expellees do not receive this assistance package and are in greatest need of external assistance. Persons in these categories typically arrive in Burundi empty handed with hardly anything to help them to restart their lives. There is no substantial assistance provided to them and they are living in extreme conditions of poverty. According to testimonies by the expellees interviewed by ACT members in Burundi, some expelled persons were threatened, beaten and had their property looted. They claim to have been forcefully evicted from their homes and many of them say they have left part of their families in Tanzania. It is these case loads that members of ACT in Burundi will provide humanitarian aid through this appeal in the sectors of food, seeds, shelter, provision of non-food items and other support to vulnerable population groups in Burundi. This appeal will run for a period of six months ending January 2009. Name of ACT member/partner: • CNEB (Conseil National des Eglises du Burundi/National Council of Churches of Burundi) • LWF (Lutheran World Federation), Burundi Programme • Province of the Anglican Church in Burundi ACT is a global alliance of churches and related agencies working to save lives and support communities in emergencies worldwide.

REQUESTING ACT MEMBER INFORMATION The ACT members for this emergency application are: • CNEB (Conseil National des Eglises du Burundi/ational Council of Churches of Burundi) • LWF (Lutheran World Federation), Burundi Programme • Province of the Anglican Church in Burundi This is a united appeal for four distinct intervention projects. Because each project has its own unique situation and intervention area, this appeal is broken down into four sections in order to specify the local operational differences. Christian Aid will not serve as direct implementer for the current appeal, but work through local NGO’s. This agency was involved in emergency application preparation meetings but didn’t prepare its own individual appeal. It however endorsed the present emergency application submission and will participate in the coordination. The ACT Forum Burundi has set up several mechanisms which will oversee the management of the appeal, using resource sharing, peer monitoring and evaluation, collaboration in reports writing and advocacy. These mechanisms will also allow the ACT Forum Burundi to abide by the different ACT policies such as the Sphere standards, the Code of Conduct on Sexual Exploitation, Abuse of Power and Corruption for staff members of the Forum for a proper implementation of the appeal. II. IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER & PARTNER INFORMATION Conseil National des Eglises Du Burundi (CNEB) was established in Burundi in 1935. It is represented mostly by the mainstream Protestant churches in the country: the five Anglican Dioceses, the United Methodist Church, the Free Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the Friends Church and the Kimbanguist Church. The Council has many years of experience in implementing relief programmes through its network of co- ordinators who are nominated by member churches, and located in all the provinces of the country. Specific rehabilitation and development projects are carried out by particular churches according to their capacities. LWF has been assisting Burundian refugees in Tanzania since 1993 through TCRS. When the political situation in Burundi began to improve in 2003, and most refugees started returning to Burundi, LWF/TCRS established the possibility of partnering with the Conseil National des Eglises du Burundi (CNEB) for resettlement and rehabilitation work with Burundian returnees from Tanzania in August 2004. On November 16, 2004, the LWF Standing Committee Meeting approved the development of plans for such an intervention. Cross-border operations were conducted by TCRS in Tanzania, and by LWF in Burundi, in close collaboration with CNEB. The LWF program objectives are to: promote a situation of unity and acceptance between returnees and the people in the receiving communities. encourage the community members to engage in the development in their collines.1 improve access to social services and contribute to community welfare and reintegration. The primary focus groups are the marginalized and vulnerable individuals in communities with high percentages of returnees. LWF is conscious that singling out returnees for support activities would be counterproductive to the building of harmony in society, and so assistance was made available to any community members who demonstrated need. 1 The Communes of Burundi are divided into 2,639 collines. Colline means "hill" In French, one of the two official languages of the country. Assistance to Returnees – Burundi 4 AFBI81 Province of the Anglican Church in Burundi. The church has currently five dioceses, and a sixth one is in the process of being created.. Among its main concerns are peace and reconciliation, repatriation of refugees and displaced people, community development, literacy and education, and HIV/AIDS. III. DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION Background Burundi is a small, densely populated, landlocked country in Central Africa with an estimated population of 7.5 millions in an area of 27,834 km2. Since its independence from Belgian colonial rule in 1962, Burundi has faced several waves of inter-ethnic violence and political upheavals which have profoundly impacted both the social and economic fabric of the country. For example, several hundred thousands of people were killed in the 1993 civil war, causing a massive movement of internally displaced people (IDP), and an exodus of 600,000 refugees to neighbouring countries, mostly to Tanzania but also to DRC and Rwanda. The civil war, coupled with three years of embargo from 1996 to 1999, has deeply affected the local economy. In 2005, the per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of Burundi was $677, placing it 167th out of 177 countries in the world (HDR 2007-08, UNDP). The GDP, increasing inflation and dwindling public revenue, combined with a dramatic drop in foreign assistance, force 58% of Burundi’s population to survive on less than one USD per day. Nearly 90% of the population lives on less than two USD per day. Population density is extremely high, as is the proportion of people under the age of 14 (about 41%). Due to the high mortality rate among men during the conflicts, the number of woman-headed and minor-headed households has increased substantially. Consequently, labor for agriculture is very much depleted and the speed of production recovery severely constrained. Primary school enrolment has plummeted due to the destruction of infrastructure and loss of teachers. Much of the healthcare system and its basic infrastructure have also been destroyed. Disability and death from a number of diseases, including malaria and Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS), has increased significantly. Life expectancy decreased from 51 years in 1993 to 42 years in 2000, when only 48% of the population had access to safe water and only 2% to health services.

  • Republic of Burundi Comments on the UNIIB Report-A/HRC
    Republic of Burundi Comments on the UNIIB Report-A/HRC/ COMMENTS OF THE REPUBLIC OF BURUNDI ON THE REPORT OF THE UNITED NATIONS INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION ON BURUNDI (UNIIB) ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO RESOLUTION S-24/1 OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL 1 Republic of Burundi Comments on the UNIIB Report-A/HRC/ I. INTRODUCTION 1. On 9 September 2016, a report by the UN Independent Investigation on Burundi (UNIIB) was communicated to the Republic of Burundi through its Permanent Mission in Geneva. 2. This UNIIB Report was established by three experts pursuant to resolution S- 24/1 of the Human Rights Council. In paragraph 17, the Council of Human Rights requested the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights “to urgently organize and dispatch on the most expeditious basis possible a mission by independent existing experts”. 3. Experts were tasked with " undertaking swiftly an investigation into violations and abuses of human rights with a view to preventing further deterioration of the human rights situation " and make recommendations on measures to be taken. The report covers the period from 15 April 2015 to 30 June 2016. 4. Burundi welcomes the efforts made by the United Nations for the protection of human rights in Burundi by sending experts to find out firsthand the reality on the ground. 5. Burundi regrets, however, that the allegations contained in the report of the experts do not reflect the reality on the ground and by this opportunity would like to react by shedding light on some lies conveyed by the report. 6. Burundi expresses concern about the fact that it has become a tradition that reports on it are submitted late without allowing the Government sufficient time to formulate its observations.

Burundi Dushirehamwe Association in Burundi: linking peace and development activities Scholastique Harushiyakira In 1993, the first democratically elected president of Burundi, who belonged to the majority Hutu ethnic group, was assassinated along with his close collaborators. The killing triggered the massacre of innocent Tutsi by members of the president’s party. Acts of revenge followed, leading to the creation of militias within both groups, and the ensuing fighting Balkanised entire neighbourhoods. The retaliations escalated into a full-scale civil war and an associated rebellion in Hutu refugee camps in Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. Civil war resulted in the loss of an estimated 300,000 lives and a massive displacement of people both internally and as refugees. It also destroyed the country’s precarious social fabric, leading to extreme suspicion between people of different ethnicity. The role of women in restoring peace Since the eruption of the crisis in 1993, Burundian women have established associations to work for peace. International Alert, UNIFEM and Search for Common Ground sought to support their initiatives by providing financial, moral and technical support, including a ‘training of trainers’ programme in conflict transformation techniques with a specific focus on gender issues.

Ce seizième numéro du « Cahier du CURDES » est publié sous le thème général: «Privatisation, Gouvernance, Microfinance et Performances Financières des Entreprises au Burundi ». Il contient 10 articles de recherche couvrant divers domaines. Le premier article est celui de Dieudonné Gahungu et Salomon Nsabimana. Il analyse la structure et la portée de créances des entreprises sur l’Etat et ses démembrements au Burundi. Le papier met en évidence les proportions des créances des entreprises du secteur public et de celles du secteur privé d’une part, ainsi que les parts des ministères et autres institutions dans le total des créances et dans les créances par secteur d’activités des entreprises d’autre part. L’étude présente également la situation des cas litigieux pour les créances des entreprises sur l’Etat. A partir du rapport d’audit de la situation des arriérés sur la période 2005-2012, l’étude révèle que l’Etat du Burundi a accumulé des arriérés sur une longue période aussi bien pour les entreprises du secteur public que du secteur privé, mais la grande part des arriérées sont des créances du secteur public. Compte tenu du tort que les paiements tardifs causent au secteur productif et étouffe l’économie du pays, il est important que les différents acteurs mettent en œuvre des mécanismes d’apurement des arriérés de la période et de gestion prudente de la dette intérieure.
