Burundi

Norwegian Church Aid has been working in Burundi since 1996, originally to bring assistance to refugees in the country.

Over time, the country programme has developed a longer-term approach, and our focus is now more directed towards the country's transition from conflict to peace.

More information about Norwegian Church Aid's activities in Burundi will be published here soon.
