As specified in the National Development Plan of Burundi (PND 2018-2027), the economic situation is still very fragile with a GDP of 110 US dollars per capital and poverty affects more than 65% of the population. The food and nutritional situation is particularly worrying.

 

While the agricultural sector constitutes the engine of the national economy and should be the guarantor of the food security of the populations, it remains practiced in a rudimentary way by approximately 1.2 million rural families (90% of households) on very small farms with an average size of around 0.5 ha. As a result, yields remain very low compared to African averages.

 

To help raise this dominant activity of the national economy, we supervise our beneficiaries in associations by providing them with technical and financial support.

 

Our specific objective is to contribute to the sustainable increase in income and to the improvement of the living conditions of our beneficiaries (households vulnerable to poverty)
