Burundi in the Agribusiness, Coffee and Energy Global Value Chains: Project Summary – Skills for Private Sector Development - Duke University, Center on Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness (Duke CGGC) · February 28, 2014 Consulting World Bank , Burundi flag Burundi Website url: http://www.cggc.duke.edu/pdfs/2014_02_28_Duke_CGGC_Final_Project_Summary.pdf The Skills for Private Sector Development Project, commissioned by the Education Division of the World Bank, employed the GVC framework to identify specific workforce development strategies to foster upgrading within three industries crucial to Burundi's economic development: agribusiness, coffee and energy. Upgrading in these value chains is dependent on developing new capabilities and generally requires a substantially different set of workers with different skill sets. Knowing the requirements at each stage can help policy makers to prepare the workforce for the needs of future upgrading strategies.
Burundi in the Agribusiness Global Value Chain: Skills for Private Sector Development - Duke University, Center on Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness (Duke CGGC) · February 28, 2014 Consulting World Bank , Burundi flag Burundi Website url: http://www.cggc.duke.edu/pdfs/2014_02_28_Duke_CGGC_BurundiAgribusinessGVC.pdf Agriculture is the central pillar of Burundi’s economy, accounting for more than one third of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employing virtually the entire rural workforce. With good geographic conditions and a suitable climate to production, the country has the potential to be a strong participant in the regional agricultural market. Yet, after years of conflict, the country faces important productivity, infrastructure and institutional challenges that continue to undermine the development of a market-oriented sector, and agriculture remains a primarily subsistence activity, dominated by smallholders with poor knowledge of modern agricultural practices and weak connections to the formal economy. All these constraints have limited the possibility of the country to participate in the global agribusiness value chain. However, Burundi is experiencing slowly rising incomes, growing domestic demand for foodstuffs and a need to formalize the country’s economy, placing pressure on the agricultural sector to modernize and organize to create productive, off-farm employment opportunities, generate revenues and, importantly for the short-term, contribute to the country’s food security.
Burundi in the Coffee Global Value Chain: Skills for Private Sector Development - Duke University, Center on Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness (Duke CGGC) · February 28, 2014 Consulting World Bank , Burundi flag Burundi Website url: http://www.cggc.duke.edu/pdfs/2014_02_28_Duke_CGGC_Burundi_CoffeeGVC.pdf Arabica coffee has been commercially grown and exported from Burundi for decades, even during periods of economic and political instability. The coffee sector is crucial to the Burundian economy, not only because it provides employment to a large number of smallholder farmers in the country, but also because the majority of the country’s foreign exchange earnings derive from coffee exports.
Burundi in the Energy Global Value Chain: Skills for Private Sector Development - Duke University, Center on Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness (Duke CGGC) · February 28, 2014 Consulting World Bank , Burundi flag Burundi Website url: http://www.cggc.duke.edu/pdfs/2014_02_28_Duke_CGGC_Burundi_EnergyGVC.pdf Burundi faces high and growing demand for electrical energy. Political and economic instability over the last two decades, however, has undermined the development of the country’s energy sector. With very low installed capacity, Burundi faces significant challenges with respect to energy supplies in the country. 90% of the country’s energy needs are currently met by the burning of biomass, primarily wood, for cooking and heat contributing to deforestation and health care issues, and the lack of electrical energy supply constrains the development of the country in the long term.
