Burundi’s economy is heavily reliant on subsistence agriculture, with limited industrial or service sector development. Political instability and corruption hinder growth and foreign investment. Government policies focus on poverty reduction, but implementation remains a challenge. Regulatory frameworks are weak, particularly in land rights and business registration. Society faces widespread poverty and food insecurity. Education access is improving but constrained by resource limitations. Climate risks, including flooding and drought, exacerbate agricultural challenges. Healthcare services are underfunded, leading to poor health outcomes.
