Notes

1 In early 2007, the PBF allocated US$35 million to fund Burundi’s first Peacebuilding Priority Plan (PBF I), which ran from 2007 to early 2010 and covered four key areas: governance; rule of law and the security sector; protection of human rights; and land issues, with a focus on the reintegration of returning refugees and resolution of land disputes. Six RUNOs—the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM, later part of UN Women)—implemented the 18 projects funded by the first tranche. See United Nations Peacebuilding Fund, “Burundi Overview,” www.unpbf.org/countries/burundi. In 2011, the PBF allocated a second tranche of funds totaling $9.2 million (PBF II) toward community-based socioeconomic reintegration of ex-combatants and displaced persons in the three Burundian provinces most affected by conflict: Bujumbura Rural, Cibitoke, and Bubanza. The second tranche was implemented by four of the same UN entities that had implemented the PBF I projects—UNDP, UNHCR, UNFPA, and UN Women—as well as two new ones: the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO).

Colline (hill) refers to the units of rural settlement in Burundi and Rwanda. A group of collines form a commune. In Burundi, there are 117 communes and 2,639 collines.

6 This increased sense of security cannot of course be attributed solely to reforms in the Burundian Armed Forces.
