Burundi
Burundi is a landlocked country in East Africa and ranks third among the poorest countries in the world. The country has one of the highest population densities per km2 - about 40% of them are under 15 years of age. For several years, the country has made great strides in education. However, progress is still needed in the political and economic spheres to lift the country out of poverty.
