The Embassy of Burundi in Addis Ababa warmly congratulates Ms. Vanessa Nakate on her appointment as Special Envoy for Youth to the Chairperson of the African Union Commission. #Burundi believes in its young people and has placed youth at the heart of its Chairmanship of the African Union. We therefore welcome a mandate that brings the aspirations of African youth closer to the institutions that serve them.

May the Special Envoy find in her work the support of Member States and may the Union’s promises to its young people become lasting achievements. We wish her success.

Thirty-three years ago, #Burundi lost President Melchior Ndadaye, its first democratically elected head of state. While his time was brief, his legacy remains. His vision of peace,unity and democracy endures in every Burundian who chooses dialogue over division.

What does it take to build a resilient #Africa? It begins with ensuring that women are not just included in the economy, but empowered to shape its future.

The 2nd EGUMENI Dialogue, which started on 19 October and runs until 21 October 2026, brought together distinguished leaders and stakeholders at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under the theme “Building a Resilient Africa through Accelerated Women’s Financial and Economic Inclusion.”

The dialogue spotlighted the need for a connected ecosystem that removes barriers to women’s economic participation. A key highlight was the launch of the Women and Youth Financial and Economic Inclusion (WYFEI 2030) Initiative’s Country Acceleration Strategy, alongside the unveiling of its symbolic equipment, reinforcing the commitment to turn continental ambitions into concrete action.

📌 The African Youth Charter @ 20 Appraisal is fast becoming a continental movement, reaching African capitals, cities, towns and villages! 🌍

20 years after the adoption of the African Youth Charter on 2 July 2006 in Banjul, The Gambia 🇬🇲, young Africans are asking fundamental questions:

What has changed for millions of African youth? What is working? Where are the gaps? And more importantly, what should youth development look like over the next few decades?

These are questions that must be answered at continental, regional, national and local levels.

Our remarkable team of youth experts supported by @APRMorg @APRM_MarieRose , @OneYoungAfrica
@AmanyaStuartJr & Restless Development
are doing an incredible job taking these conversations to young people, including those whose voices are too often missing from policy discussions.

The next 20 years of youth development in Africa must be informed by the voices, experiences and aspirations of young Africans themselves.

We look forward to unveiling the outcomes of this historic appraisal in November ( Africa Youth Month) 2026! 📌

As Africa Skills Week continues in Harare, Zimbabwe, following its opening on Monday, Burundi’s Chairmanship of the African Union reaffirms its commitment to skills development as the third priority of the #ARISE Initiative.

Under the theme “Skills for Resilient and Competitive African Industries: From Training to Value Creation,” the week underscores the importance of equipping Africa’s #youth with market-relevant skills, strengthening technical and vocational education, and bridging the gap between training and employment.

#Africa must prepare its young people for the future of work and empower them to shape it. By investing in human capital, innovation and entrepreneurship, the continent can transform its demographic dividend into a driving force for inclusive growth and sustainable development, in line with the aspirations of Agenda 2063.

C'est avec une immense fierté que j'accueille le renouvellement du mandat du #Burundi au Conseil des Droits de l'Homme pour la période 2027-2029. Cette décision des États membres des Nations Unies est une marque de confiance et de considération envers notre pays, et elle reconnaît les efforts que nous menons pour la promotion et la protection des Droits Humains.

J’exprime ma profonde gratitude à tous les États membres, et particulièrement aux États membres africains, pour l’endossement de la candidature burundaise. Leur solidarité a été déterminante.

Je félicite l'ensemble de nos diplomates, pour leur coordination stratégique et leur engagement constant. Ce résultat leur doit beaucoup.

Cette confiance nous oblige. Le Burundi continuera d'œuvrer, dans le dialogue, le respect mutuel et la coopération multilatérale, pour la promotion et la protection des Droits de l'Homme, la dignité de tous et pour un monde plus juste.

Que Dieu bénisse le Burundi.
