Burundi is a small, landlocked country in central Africa with the second densest population in the region. The country has gone through a decade of civil war (1993-2003) which had severe effects on economic and social conditions of the population, with 90 percent of the population still currently living on less than US$ 2 per day. Since early 2000, Burundi has committed to revitalize its economy and national unity, however the very recent political crisis that followed a failed coup in May 2015 could undermine this process.
