Founded in 1990, PSI Burundi is a fully incorporated member of the PSI global network. PSI’s operations in Burundi closed from 1996 to 2001 due to civil war, and in its place a local affiliate, Population, Health and Information, was formed to continue the work PSI Burundi began, marketing condoms and sensitizing Burundians to care and prevention for HIV/AIDS. In 2002, PSI Burundi recommenced operations and integrated the work of its local affiliate into its programming, adding programs for malaria prevention.
In 2018, PSI Burundi provided 147,444 years of healthy life for Burundians, including:
5,134,066
condoms distributed
66,935 years
of protection against unintended pregnancy provided for Burundian couples
Since 1990, PSI Burundi has used social marketing as a strategy for free condom distribution to support prevention from unintended pregnancies, HIV and sexually transmitted infections.
PSI Burundi uses a participatory approach to social behavior change communication through peer education, mass media (including radio broadcasts) and social media to better reach its targets and help Burundians to adopt healthy behavior.
Through its network of franchised health clinics, Tunza, PSI Burundi offers quality comprehensive health services. PSI Burundi ensures the quality of these clinics using Tunza brand standards, in addition to the standards set forth by the Burundian government.
