The Burundi National Bamboo Research Centre is committed to pioneering sustainable bamboo-based solutions that combat environmental degradation while enhancing rural prosperity across Burundi. Established in 2017 under ISABU, our mission integrates scientific research with community engagement to transform the challenges of soil erosion and deforestation into opportunities for ecological restoration and climate resilience.

​

Through our work in bamboo propagation, cultivation techniques, and product development, we aim to position Burundi as a leader in East Africa's emerging green economy. We serve as a bridge between traditional knowledge and modern science, empowering rural cooperatives with the skills needed for sustainable bamboo enterprises while contributing to national reforestation strategies. Our vision is a Burundi where bamboo cultivation creates both environmental sustainability and economic opportunity for generations to come.
