A consortium of Burundian NGOs dealing with children with learning difficulties have suggested that Burundi adopts the Rwandan model and trigger a national revival for a drastic reduction of children through family planning.
In Rwanda, a national law requires no more than four children per couple family.”
Rwamo Athanasius, a legal representative of the NGOs says, “For the moment, Burundi, we can stabilize four children, but if we can get two, so much the better.”
Rwamo notes that the reference to the Rwandan model finds its justification in the fact that “both countries share cultural similarities.”
The legal representative of the consortium OPDE-APECOS-OIDEB recommended that in this situation, we must begin now to take preventive measures as a remedy for all the consequences of a demographic variable that can affect a population “often powerless.”
“Burundi absolutely must pursue a national policy to severe household for strict limitation of births,” he said.
