Evidence snapshot for Burundi
EcoCash Burundi demonstrates that mobile money has become central to financial inclusion in Burundi, where only 7–12.5% of adults held formal bank accounts as of 2015–2016; by mid-2023, 43% of respondents cited mobile money as their most-used transfer channel, though a government account freeze in January 2023 exposed regulatory risks. Joint-Spousal Land Certification issued over 93,000 land certificates (66 times the initial target) with ~70% including both spouses' names, expanding women's legal land rights, though independent verification of real control over land remains unpublished. Sustainable Coffee Landscapes Project brought over 4,400 hectares under sustainable management, benefiting 18,700+ people including 9,600+ households, and catalysed a $30 million national scale-up to address decades of hillside degradation that had cut coffee output from 40,000 tonnes to 5,700 tonnes by 2003.
