Why hire talents from Burundi
Burundi is home to a highly literate and skilled workforce, making it an attractive destination for global organizations looking to expand their operations. According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, the literacy rate in Burundi is approximately 87.4%, indicating a strong education system that produces a capable workforce.
For international organizations looking to hire in Burundi, this means that there is a large pool of talented individuals with the necessary skills and qualifications to meet their needs. This workforce is proficient in both French and Kirundi, the two official languages of Burundi, providing added value to companies looking to operate in the region.
The country’s strategic location at the heart of East Africa makes it an attractive destination for organizations looking to expand their presence in the region. Burundi’s proximity to major markets such as Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda offers businesses a gateway to the wider East African market.

Overtime in Burundi: In cases of urgent or exceptional work due to a higher demand of work, the employer has the right to extend working time to a limit of 15 hours per week, and 150 hours per year.
Every hour considered as overtime entitles the worker to the following compensation:
- 35% for each of the first two hours worked after the legal weekly working time, or the weekly presence considered as equivalent;
- 60% for each of the following hours.
Employment contracts in Burundi: Employment contracts in Burundi should be drafted in French, the official language of the country.
