Its main challenge is also to create good quality jobs for its youth. With low levels of educational attainment and poor health status, the quality of this young population is poor. After more than 13 years of conflict ending in 2000, and a period of modest recovery, Burundi has the opportunity to stimulate growth. Burundi is making strides in creating one of the fundamentals of job creation - investment climate. Investing in the skills of the population is critical for the success of growth strategy and for creating productive employment opportunities for Burundi's youth. The Government of Burundi is introducing a major reform in the education sector which is going to significantly impact skills in Burundi. This analytical report will contribute to defining a skills development strategy for Burundi to complement the growth strategy. It looks at the potential impact of the basic education reform on the quantity and education attainment of the working age population. Further it looks at the skills demands that are likely to emerge if Burundi upgrades along the value chain in selected sectors to ensure strong alignment of occupation competencies in growth sectors. The report is structured as follows: section one gives introduction. Section two gives impacts of the new basic education reform, and its pace of implementation, for the education levels of potential new workers, and of the population, over the next 10-15 years. Section three presents the potential upgrading strategies for moving up the value chain in the selected sectors. Section four presents current framework for strategic direction, demand-led approach, and coordination of the technical vocational education and training (TVET) system.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS RATEACCESS TO CAPITALAGE GROUPSAGRIBUSINESSAGRICULTURAL LABORAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRONOMYBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC LITERACYBEANSBENEFITS OF EDUCATIONCAPACITY BUILDINGCARE FOR CHILDRENCASSAVACHERRIESCLASS SIZECLIMATIC CONDITIONSCOFFEECOFFEE BEANSCOFFEE FARMERSCOFFEE GROWERSCOFFEE GROWINGCOFFEE GROWING AREASCOFFEE MARKETCOFFEE PRICESCOFFEE PRODUCERCOFFEE PRODUCERSCOFFEE PRODUCTIONCOFFEE SECTORCOFFEE TREESCOMPLETION RATECOOPERATIVESCROPCROP PRODUCTIONCROPSCULTIVATIONCULTIVATION PRACTICESCURRICULADEFORESTATIONDEGRADATIONDEMOGRAPHIC TRENDSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISSEMINATIONDISTANCE EDUCATIONDONOR SUPPORTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATION ATTAINMENTEDUCATION INSTITUTIONSEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION REFORMEDUCATION REFORMSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTELDERLYENROLMENT FIGURESENROLMENTSEXTENSION AGENTSEXTENSION WORKERSFAIR TRADEFAOFARMFARM ACTIVITIESFARM EMPLOYMENTFARM EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESFARMERFARMER ORGANIZATIONSFARMERSFARMINGFARMSFERTILIZERFERTILIZER USEFERTILIZERSFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD SAFETYFOOD SECURITYFORMAL EDUCATIONFORMAL EDUCATION SYSTEMFOSSIL FUELSFRUITSGENERAL EDUCATIONGERGIRLSGOVERNMENT PROGRAMSGREEN REVOLUTIONGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS ENROLMENTGROSS ENROLMENT RATEHARVESTINGHEALTH INSURANCEHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION QUALIFICATIONSHIGHER LEVELS OF EDUCATIONHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTICRISATIMPACT OF EDUCATIONINFORMAL TRAININGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINTERNATIONAL RICE RESEARCH INSTITUTEINTERNSHIPSINTERPERSONAL SKILLSINTERVENTIONSIRRIJOB CREATIONJOB OPPORTUNITIESJOB TRAININGLABOR COSTSLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLAND OWNERSHIPLAND TENURELEARNINGLEGAL STATUSLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLITERACY PROGRAMSLOWER SECONDARY EDUCATIONMANUALSMARGINAL LANDSMEATMEDIA COVERAGEMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMILLETMORTALITYMULCHNEW ENTRANTSNUMBER OF PEOPLENUMERACYOLD SYSTEMPARTICIPATION RATESPLANTATIONSPLANTINGPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY GOALSPOOR HEALTHPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATEPRIMARY CYCLEPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL ENROLMENTPRIMARY SCHOOLINGPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIVATE ENROLLMENTSPRODUCEPRODUCTION ACTIVITIESPROFESSIONAL EDUCATIONPROGRESSQUALITY COFFEEQUALITY CONTROLRAINFORESTRAPID POPULATION GROWTHREGIONAL BANKSREPETITION RATESRESPECTRICERICE RESEARCHRURAL AREASRURAL INFRASTRUCTURESCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL HOURSSCHOOL LEAVERSSCHOOL PROGRAMSCHOOL-LEAVERSSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSEA LEVELSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLINGSECONDARY SCHOOLSSEEDSEED MULTIPLICATIONSEEDLINGSSEEDSSERVICE DELIVERYSKILL LEVELSKILLED WORKERSSKILLS ACQUISITIONSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSKILLS REQUIREMENTSSKILLS TRAININGSMALL PRODUCERSSMALLHOLDERSSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL SCIENCESSOIL EROSIONSOIL FERTILITYSOILSSORGHUMSPECIALTY COFFEESPECIALTY COFFEE MARKETSSUGARSUGARCANETEATEACHERTEACHINGTEACHING METHODSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EDUCATIONTECHNICAL SKILLSTECHNICAL TRAININGTERRACINGTERTIARY EDUCATIONTILLAGETOBACCOTRAINEESTRAINING CENTRETRAINING OF TEACHERSTRAINING PROGRAMSTRANSPORTATIONUNEMPLOYMENTUNIVERSAL BASIC EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITIESURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERURBAN CENTERSVEGETABLESVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL TRAININGWATER RESOURCESWHEATWORKFORCEYIELDSYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTHYOUTH PARTICIPATION10.1596/18949
