UN Women’s Burundi Strategic Note 2024–2027 responds to entrenched gender inequalities, climate risks and post-conflict recovery. It operates nationwide, including in rural and conflict-affected areas. 

Key priorities encompass women’s leadership in governance and peacebuilding, economic empowerment, humanitarian action and ending gender-based violence. The programme advances gender equality through data-driven policies, positive masculinity and inclusive service delivery, with a focus on marginalized groups like the Batwa, displaced women and survivors of violence.

UN Women partners with sector ministries, civil society organizations, the media, the private sector, UN entities and donors. The last include the governments of Belgium, France and Switzerland; the European Union; the African Development Bank; the Peacebuilding Fund and the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund. These partnerships support institutional capacity and gender-transformative change, advancing women’s participation in peace, the economy and humanitarian action. Sustainability and innovation are at the heart of all interventions.
