Burundi
Burundi is threatened by political violence, press restrictions, and other tensions. Since 1995, we have supported peace and reconciliation by helping locals address transitional justice, gender-based violence, youth manipulation, and more. One of our resources, Studio Ijambo, has transformed Burundi’s media landscape by training journalists and producing informative, solution-oriented programs.
