This work of memory is entitled˸« Management of high˗risk areas of flood ˸ case of Delta of Rusizi and North˗Eastern part of lake Tanganyika. It is the part lies at Gatumba, Rukaramu and the part of North˗Eastern of lake Tanganyika. The part of Gatumba is bounded to the West by the small white section of the Rusizi river and to the East by the Buringa hill. To the South, it borders with lake Tanganyika. The North˗Eastern part of lake Tanganyika is bounded to the North by Rukaramu, to the West by lake Tanganyika and to the South by the Muha river. The choise to the work on this area is inspired by regular annual floods that are observed there and which cause damage. Morphorigic arrangements torrential nature of water courses accelerated by climate change, strong demographic growth, etc participate in the flood process in the city of Buumbura in general and in our study area in particular. These floods are becoming widespred in the west of Burundi due to unplanned urbun growth, the exploitation building materials, the construction of poorlysized gutters or kack of gutters as well as poor management of waste which block the gutters. When floods occur, infrustrure such as houses, roads, bridges, schools but also fields are ravaged by overflowing water.This present study aims to contribute to the management of different impact caused by these floods, to the determination of the elements which are factors of the vulnerability of this flood zone, by proposing solutions which can help to control , mitigate and adapt to the possible effects of this disaster. Generally speaking, catastrophic natural phenomena such as floods, landslides, droughts, etc are linked to climate change and anthroropogigenic activities. It would therefore be important to put in place adequate and effective mechanisms for good management of flooddisastterss and good practice of prevention and protection measurers.

Introduction : Non-response to nutritional treatment among children remains a public health concern despite the use of ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF). This study aimed to identify factors associated with non-response to treatment among children aged 6–59 months in outpatient therapeutic services in Kibumbu Health District. Methods : A retrospective case-control study was conducted among children aged 6–59 months with severe acute malnutrition admitted to outpatient therapeutic programs in Kibumbu from January 1 to December 31, 2025. Mothers and health workers were included as complementary information sources. Seven health facilities were randomly selected from 12, followed by a random selection of 198 children (99 non-responders and 99 responders) from admission registers. Data were collected using KoboCollect after informed consent. Sample size was calculated using the Schwartz formula with a non-response prevalence of 6.5%, a 95% confidence level, and a 5% margin of error. Data analysis was performed using STATA 15.1 with a significance threshold of 5%. Model performance was assessed using ROC curve analysis. Results : Multivariate analysis identified five factors independently associated with non-response in children. These were: poor home follow-up (adjusted OR = 14.99; 95% CI : 5.14–43.71 ; p < 0.001), sharing of ready-to-use therapeutic foods (adjusted OR = 9.67; 95% CI : 3.34–28.00 ; p < 0.001), poor appetite (adjusted OR = 11.72; 95% CI : 3.99–34.47 ; p < 0.001), poor household hygiene (adjusted OR = 8.42; 95% CI : 2.81–29.27 ; p < 0.001), and having a large number of children (≥4) in the household (adjusted OR = 5.77; 95% CI : 2.06–16.19 ; p = 0.001). The final logistic regression model showed excellent goodness of fit and very high discriminative power (AUC = 0.9672). Conclusion : Strengthening home follow-up, improving adherence to RUTF use, and promoting appropriate household hygiene practices could improve treatment outcomes.
Judicial Design, Gender and Ethnicity: A Typology Applied to the Burundi Constitutional Court
(SOAS, 2025-09)

This article examines the ethnic and gender quotas that have been applied to Burundi’s Constitutional Court since 2019. It shows that while gender quotas aim to make the court reflective or to remedy past injustices, ethnic quotas serve multiple roles: securing ethnic peace, de-escalating conflict or confirming power balances. Our analysis challenges scepticism about judicial quotas and independence, arguing that quotas do not inherently undermine legal merit, particularly when constitutional values are at stake. However, the position-sharing model poses risks to judicial independence, potentially diminishing court legitimacy. We highlight the complexities of combining ethnic and gender quotas, and we develop a typology of courts with such quotas, categorizing Burundi’s Constitutional Court as a blend of reflective, affirmative action, position-sharing and power-sharing. By examining Burundi’s experience, the article contributes to the debate on judicial quotas in segmented societies and the impact of identity-based representation on constitutional design, post-conflict governance and judicial independence.
Mise en place d’un centre E-Learning à l’Université du Burundi
(UB, FSI, 2023-03)

An E-Learning center or online education is an internet-based classroom that helps students study independently of their geographic locations and time. It not only helps students but also teachers. Other names for online education are E-Learning, e-schools or distance learning, which differs from traditional face-to-face education as students do not need to travel in a classroom and listen to an instructor talk to them. It is self-directed learning. In Burundi, as elsewhere in the world, the number of schools is not increasing in proportion to the number of young people attending school and, moreover, there is a lack of teachers to instruct these young people. Academic education suffers from the same problems. In addition, academic education is not internationalized: foreigners wishing to do so are obliged to initiate visa application procedures and other formalities in the hope of becoming a member of the academic course. In the perspective of finding the solutions to the problems mentioned, this thesis proposes to set up an online learning center or E-Learning opening the doors of the University of Burundi to nationals and internationals wishing to interact with its academic activities independently of the space and time. To achieve this, we learned about the state of distance learning in French-speaking universities and then we designed the system using a modeling language called UML. To model the system we used relational algebra and implemented the new center using client-side programming languages (HTML, CSS, and JS) and a server-side programming language (PHP). The E-Learning center will allow students and teachers to interact online regardless of space: a teacher can load a course and its description (textual and multimedia) and a student after reading and appreciating the description of the course can enlist to the latter online.

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) among children under six months of age is an essential public health intervention, particularly in the field of maternal and child nutrition in developing countries such as Burundi. Its practice remains influenced by several factors, especially in refugee camp settings. This study aimed to identify the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding practice among children under six months of age in the Gasorwe-Kinama refugee camp in Burundi. Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1 to 30, 2026, in the Gasorwe-Kinama refugee camp among 95 mothers with children under six months of age. Participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique. After obtaining informed consent, data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered to the mothers/guardians and completed by the investigator through KoboCollect. Sample description and bivariate analysis using Odds Ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals were performed with Stata. Variables with a p-value < 0.20 in the bivariate analysis were included in the multivariate analysis. Variables with a p-value < 0.05 were considered significantly associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice among children under six months of age in the Gasorwe-Kinama refugee camp. Results: Multivariate analysis revealed that secondary level of education (OR = 16.46; 95% CI: [2.15–125.66]), presence of illnesses during pregnancy (OR = 0.10; 95% CI: [0.01–0.54]), and receiving information on nutritional factors that enhance breast milk production (OR = 25.15; 95% CI: [3.86–163.72]) were significantly associated with the practice of exclusive breastfeeding among mothers of infants under six months of age in the Gasorwe-Kinama refugee camp. Conclusion: Our study identified the main determinants associated with the practice of exclusive breastfeeding in the Gasorwe-Kinama refugee camp. The findings highlight the need to strengthen educational, nutritional, and health interventions targeting pregnant and breastfeeding women in order to improve the practice of exclusive breastfeeding, as well as the nutrition and health of children.
