Abstract

Burundi has developed its Vision 2025 strategy as a framework for long term planning. Records management is not yet part of this framework. There is no Freedom of Information (FOI) law, but a Freedom of the Press Law provides access to some government records and data. The lack of records management structures means that if an FOI law were to be enacted, it would be difficult to find the records needed for answering requests.
