Forum for Strengthening Civil Society-Phase II

Burundi is seen as the weakest link of the East African Countries, and many Burundians ask about the chances that Burundi will succeed in the  new dynamic of regional integration. Thus, there is periodic analysis of impacts at various levels, on the opportunities to take full advantage of integration in a progressive way . The success of the integration process depends on the commitment of states to strengthen their economic, social and political relationship through real ownership of the process by the respective populations. It is clear that in Burundi the different stages of the process are not yet mastered, the opinion is under-informed, the content of the various existing protocols is beyond the reach of the majority of the population, and the benefits of integration have not yet been sufficiently explained. 

Through advocacy, contribute to an effective integration of Burundi in EAC by an improved investment climate and conditions.
