Burundi

ICNL’s resources and information on Burundi.

Overview

ICNL provides legal analysis on laws affecting the operations of local and international civil society organizations. Most recently, local partners have relied on our comments on the domestic Associations Law and the Law governing the Framework for Cooperation between the Republic of Burundi and Foreign NGOs to advocate for improved implementation of the current framework laws.

Civil Society Organization Sustainability Index

The index, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development for twenty years, documents the development of civil society in seventy-one countries around the world, including Burundi. ICNL and FHI 360 work with local partners to produce the index annually.
