Burundi’s civil society has been devastated since the 2015 political crisis, when the government cracked down violently on protests against a third presidential term. Hundreds of thousands of people fled the country, including many civil society leaders, and independent organisations have been systematically repressed. The ‘Repressed’ CIVICUS rating reflects a civic space characterised by fear and self-censorship.
