Nederland Comite Burundi (Stitching)
The NCB is a foundation, which was set up to contribute to peace in Burundi, and to
promote Burundi in the Netherlands. The NCB was set up after 1993, when the civil war
took place in Burundi. Now, the country has a democratic elected government, but the
peace process is fragile. Burundi is one of the poorest countries in the world, and
international help for reconstruction is important. The NCB attempts to contribute to
this process. The NCB organizes projects in Burundi that contribute to dialogue and
awareness. Since 2006, the foundation also organizes sustainable reconstruction activities.
The NCB is free of any religious, political or other view. The NCB is neutral with respect
to all conflicts that currently take place in the country.
The goals of the NCB are twofold:
• Contribute to peace, conflict prevention, conflict control, reconciliation and
economic development in Burundi
• Provide information about Burundi and its people to Dutch citizens.

Burundian Woman for Peace and Development
The BWPD helps Burundian women and youth develop in both Burundi and the
Netherlands. It is a foundation, set up in the Netherlands in 2001. Women are
underrepresented in government positions and organizations. The traditional role of
women as a peace-contributing group is often ignored. BWPD wants to enhance
recognition of women and self-development of the youth to overcome the crisis in
Burundi. Education and training for women should be improved. Communication
should be enhanced, and women should talk about their experiences. Also, women
should be integrated into the Dutch society to make a difference.
The goals of BWPD are:
- Integration of women in the Netherlands
