Contact officials: Advocate for better food and nutrition policies by reaching out to government representatives. 

Malnutrition is a severe problem in Burundi, with about one in four children facing it, and stunting affecting over half of children under five. Contributing factors include poverty, climate change, lack of access to clean water and sanitation, and a weak economy that impacts food security. The situation is being exacerbated by recent events like the Mpox outbreak, which disproportionately affects already malnourished children. 

Key statistics and issues

Prevalence: Around 484,000 children are expected to suffer from malnutrition in the coming months. Stunting, or chronic malnutrition, affects over 50% of children under five, a rate among the highest in the world.

Acute malnutrition: At least 6.1% of children under five suffer from acute malnutrition.

Worsening crisis: The number of children facing malnutrition has more than doubled since 2022. The recent Mpox outbreak has worsened the crisis, as malnourished children are at a much higher risk of contracting and dying from the virus.

Contributing factors:

Poverty and low household income

Climate change and its impact on agriculture

Limited access to safe water and sanitation

Weak economic context and low purchasing power 

Efforts to address malnutrition

Community-based programs: Initiatives like the Maman Lumière (Light Mother) program train community volunteers to identify and support malnourished children, provide nutritional guidance, and facilitate access to treatment.

Health centers: Facilities provide therapeutic food and medication for severe acute malnutrition.

Multi-sectoral approach: Organizations are working to improve access to clean water, sanitation, and health services. They are also working to support income-generating activities to improve household food security and resilience.

Breastfeeding support: Promoting immediate and exclusive breastfeeding is a key strategy to prevent stunting.

Burundi, also known as the heart of Africa, is located in the Great Rift Valley at the junction of the great lakes region and East Africa. The nation covers 10,747 square miles and it shares borders with Tanzania (east and southern side), the Democratic Republic of Congo (west side) and Rwanda (northern side).

Did you know…

Burundi’s GDP is among the lowest in the world (currently ranked 176th out of 195 countries) and it is considered to be among the twenty most vulnerable UN countries to climate change.

In Burundi, only thirty percent of health facilities have basic drinking water facilities and only 52 percent have sanitation services. When it comes to household coverage, 42.6 percent of urban households have access to clean water in their homes while only 1.2 percent of rural households have access to clean water in their homes.

67 percent of Burundi’s population consisting of approximately 12.1 million people cannot afford a nutritious diet. While 52 percent of children in Burundi suffer from malnutrition.

Help a Child in Burundi contributes towards increasing children’s access to early childhood development and child protection services, youth’s access to finance, vocational and professional skills trainings, improving food security and livelihood conditions of vulnerable households, meaningful participation of youth and women in community structures, the rehabilitation of essential community infrastructures, disaster risk reduction, mitigation, response and management.

 Community consultations were conducted in each commune and province of the

country, as a result of which the determinants of poverty were identified and actions

formulated to combat poverty. Community consultations enabled 14,600 persons, more than

half of them women, to express their points of view and aspirations for extricating themselves

from the poverty trap.

(ii) Sectoral and thematic consultations were also conducted on a participatory and

inclusive basis. A total of 840 participants took part in the exchanges, making it possible to

identify the constraints and potentials of the respective sectors, determine the strategic axes,

decide on the relevant actions to be taken, and propose appropriate monitoring and evaluation

mechanisms for the sectors.

(v) Implementing the strategy

16. The PRSP is the sole frame of reference and sole framework for Burundi’s socio-

economic development planning. It will be implemented through technical ministries,

community organizations at the decentralized level, NGOs, civil society, and the private

sector in partnership with development partners.

17. The implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the PRSP require the introduction

and development of an appropriate institutional framework and institutional units. In the short

term, therefore, the emphasis will be on building the capacity of the various units and

stakeholders involved in the areas of poverty analysis, planning, financing, and

implementation of priority poverty reduction programs and projects. Specifically, this will

involve the research and planning directorates of the sectoral ministries, ISTEEBU, NGOs,

the private sector, civil society organizations, and development partners.

18. The strategy will be implemented through a participatory monitoring and

evaluation system organized as follows: (i) monitoring and evaluation of the strategy,

(ii) monitoring of the poverty indicators and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); and

(iii) impact assessment of the policies, reforms, and poverty reduction programs making up

the strategy. The emphasis during monitoring and evaluation will be on a participatory

approach, so as to involve all the stakeholders involved in the PRSP preparation process

throughout the entire execution phase, at the decentralized and national levels alike. This

being so, the performance indicators will be developed and harmonized for the twofold

purpose of coordinating monitoring and evaluation of the PRSP and ensuring consistency in

the procedures and expected outcomes.

(vi) Partnership

19. With NGOs. The government intends to continue the dynamic partnership that has

always existed between NGOs and Burundi in the areas of national reconstruction and poverty

reduction. The government is committed to establishing and strengthening the existing

partnership framework so that NGOs may fully play their role of supporting this dynamic

relationship and community development, the cornerstone of PRSP implementation.

20. With the development partners. Cognizant of the issues and hurdles to be overcome

in implementing the PRSP, the government will do everything in its power to strengthen its

existing partnership with its development partners through units such as the SP/REFES for

implementation of the PRSP and the SP/CNCA for aid coordination. Practical ways and
