By identifying sector-specific areas for action that can be jointly addressed by the government, donors, and the private sector, the Burundi CPSD hopes to support the development of high-value and competitive sectors. Demonstrating that change is possible, and that markets and jobs can be created in two to five years, will not only give momentum but can provide “proof of concept” that economic transformation can happen in Burundi.  \nThe new government put in place in June 2020 by the newly elected president offers an opportunity for a new growth model, fueled by the private sector. To exit a long period of crises that halted its economic and social growth, Burundi needs to tackle the causes of its multidimensional economic, political, and environmental fragility and build private sector fundamentals for a sustained and inclusive growth.1 Burundi has shown in the past that it is capable of advancing reforms for economic transformation. In its national development plan (Plan National de Développement du Burundi 2018–27), the government recognizes the crucial role of a dynamic, innovative, and productive private sector that can compete in international markets and support domestic job creation and sustained economic growth.  \nAlthough unemployment is a major social and economic challenge, especially among youth and women, Burundi’s strong market demand for skilled labor represents an opportunity. Skilled labor earns 2.5 times more for male workers and 4.5 times more for females compared to manual labor.2 If productive jobs can be created by strengthening the formal private sector and adequate upskilling of labor to meet the market demand, then the burgeoning Burundi youth can become a dynamic force for economic growth.  \nAs demonstrated by successful business climate reforms in the past, Burundi is capable ","cbCaitb9MNNLAiac","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitb9MNNLAiac","pdf",198238,5,1,9,"English","en",105,"# Executive Summary\n## Purpose and expected outcomes\n## Policy context and growth model\n## Labor, skills, and job creation\n## Business climate and reform priorities\n## Sector opportunities: agribusiness, mining, and tradeable sectors","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of the Burundi Country Private Sector Diagnostic (CPSD)?\",\"answer\":\"To identify market opportunities likely to materialize in the short to medium term and propose reforms that remove binding constraints to private sector growth, supporting economic transformation.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the CPSD connect private sector growth with inclusive transformation?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that strengthening private sector fundamentals and enabling job creation—especially through skilled labor and productive employment—can help Burundi move from poverty and fragility toward inclusive growth.\"},{\"question\":\"Which constraints does the summary highlight as barriers to private investment?\",\"answer\":\"Foreign exchange shortages are highlighted as a binding constraint, alongside challenges such as an unfavorable business climate, low-quality transport and logistics, unreliable and expensive energy, and limited access to land.\"}]","COUNTRY PRIVATE SECTOR DIAGNOSTIC -
