In 2024 there is reason to celebrate: Because Baden-Württemberg and Burundi have been following a common path for more than 40 years! What began as isolated contacts between people has developed into a broad network of active and committed people. However, one constant runs through the entire partnership: connecting people from both regions and thus enabling friendships and partnerships.
The start of the partnership cannot be set to an exact year. Especially since Burundi was also a German colonial territory, which is why there are connections from that time. Rather, the partnership has developed bit by bit through relationships that were already formed in the 1980s and before that through political visits and return visits. By the time the partnership agreement was signed on May 16, 2014, there had already been a number of milestones that the partnership could look back on:
The Baden-Württemberg Development Cooperation Foundation (SEZ) is entrusted with coordinating the civil society partnership and political cooperation is organized via Department 53 in the State Ministry. Read more about the signing of the official partnership agreement in May 2014.
