A new Country Partnership Framework (CPF) 2025-2031 is being prepared. Building on the progress made under the current CPF, the new CPF is an opportunity for the WBG to better integrate the interventions of all its institutions to support Burundi n achieving the ambitions defined in its Vision 2040-2060.
Burundi benefits from WBG grant financing through the International Development Association (IDA). The current World Bank portfolio in Burundi comprises 15 national projects and 3 regional projects for a total of $1.95 billion. The breakdown by sector is: Infrastructure (33%), People (34%), Planet (7%), Digital and Governance (5%), Prosperity (1%).
The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has been expanding its work in Burundi, focusing on three priority sectors with opportunities for private sector engagement: finance, agribusiness, and sustainable energy. IFC is also working with several financial institutions to increase access to finance for small businesses and trade. Its commitment to the banking sector is currently $20 million. To support increased access to sustainable energy in Burundi, IFC supports feasibility projects for energy production and distribution, totaling $8 million.
