This chapter discusses the development of child protection systems within the context of Burundi, a small developing country in the heart of Africa. The country, as a result of war, civil unrest and poverty, has experienced turmoil which has extended into the lives of children with issues like violence and crime at the forefront. The government of Burundi through different relevant ministries acknowledges the plight of children and has put systems in place to protect children. However much more is needed to be done through working hand in hand with social work professionals to support families to take care of their children and through traditional welfare systems like ikibiri (mutual aid) within and outside of the family context.
