The restoration of peace, security, stability and social cohesion is today a reality in Burundi. The only enemy that continues to pose a threat to citizens — apart from the COVID-19 pandemic, which is our common enemy — is poverty. Together with every citizen, we are committed to combating poverty in order to achieve our goal: the well-being of the Burundian people. In order to achieve it, we have defined and included a number of priorities in the road map for Burundi’s national development plan for the period from 2018 to 2027, which is an ambitious and transformative programme to accelerate the socioeconomic development process that has been under way since 2018.
