Population-Based Survey on Peace and Education: Burundi 2015
This study was carried out in partnership with UNICEF's Peacebuilding, Education and Advocacy Programme which seeks to reduce the intergenerational transmission of violence by addressing the underlying causes of structural and cultural violence that result in repeated cycles of conflict. The study provides baseline information that will help trace progress in peacebuilding goals over time and explores differences and similarities between generations to gain insight into change across generations and enable a life cycle perspective. Results detailed in this report highlight key challenges to building a lasting peace in Burundi.This report is based on a survey of 2,991 randomly selected individuals above the age of 14, including 1,484 interviews with youth aged 14 to 24 (50%), and 1,507 interviews with adults 25 years of age or older. Half the study participants were women. The data were collected across Burundi's 17 province in December 2014 to assess key dimensions of fragility and resilience, adopting a framework based on 5 Peacebuilding and Statebuilding Goals (PSGs):
- legitimate politics,
- security,
- justice,
- economic foundations, and
- revenues and services.
Social cohesion and resilience were also analyzed as key elements of peacebuilding. The results are presented regionally aggregated by province as follows:
