This report examines youth in
post-conflict Burundi. The research responds to the nascent
but growing body of knowledge on conflict, young men and
gender. War and violence have devastated societies and
economies throughout Africa with young men being the main
perpetrators of this violence. This research attempts to
contribute to this body of knowledge. It looks at youth and
young men in particular in two countries emerging from years
of ethnic conflict, with a view to identifying if gender
norms may increase the risk of renewed conflict. Specific
objectives of the research in Burundi were to examine how
poor and excluded youth are faring and coping in the
country's post-conflict environment; how gender
dynamics are playing out in Burundian society and how these
may contribute to increased risk of renewed conflict; and
what the implications of findings are in terms of future
policy and programming. The study takes a special look at
youth ex-combatants who are in the process of being
reintegrated back into their communities, given that this
group has been a focus of a high profile demobilization and
reintegration program in Burundi and given that
ex-combatants are considered to represent a higher risk to
renewed fighting. The report is organized as follows. After
this introductory chapter, chapter two presents the context
for the study, and includes a definition of youth as well as
a brief description of the country context and socioeconomic
indicators for youth. Chapter three presents the main
research findings on how youth are faring, how they see
their prospects, and the challenges they face, including
those related to meeting gender norms and other social
institutions. Chapter four presents a description of the
policy response and programs targeting youth, scanty as they
may be. Lastly, chapter five summarizes the study's
main findings and conclusions, and presents an overall
approach for youth development as well as policy directions. |
