SFCG - Search For Common Ground (Burundi)

Burundi is one of the world’s poorest countries, still recovering from generations of ethnic conflict and a civil war that ended in 2005. The country’s fragile peace is threatened by consistent political violence, restrictions on the press and freedom of assembly, high levels of youth unemployment, frequent land disputes, and tensions generated by the repatriation of refugees. Since 1995, we have supported peace and reconciliation in Burundi by helping local stakeholders to address transitional justice, sexual and gender-based violence, youth manipulation, and other issues. One of our most important resources is Studio Ijambo, which has transformed Burundi’s media landscape by training journalists and producing informative, solution-oriented programs.
