Our project aims to develop a sustainable and innovative mining industry to extract these minerals, while ensuring their transformation into high value-added finished products. The main objective is to contribute to the valorisation of Burundi's natural resources and to significantly increase its GDP through modern mining industries. We also aim to support the Burundian government's long-term development vision, as defined in its 2040–2060 strategic plan — Burundi, an emerging country in 2040 and a developed country in 2060 — by strengthening the national economy and creating employment opportunities. To carry out this initiative, we advocate close cooperation with the authorities, supporting them in implementing policies favouring industrialisation and exports.
Implementing this titanium mineral exploitation and valorisation project in Burundi promises to profoundly transform the national economy. Beyond energising key sectors, this project will have a multiplier effect by creating new jobs, boosting production industries, and offering concrete solutions to youth unemployment. The project will give young people concrete, lasting prospects: jobs created — whether in mines, plants, or logistics — will provide regular income and career progression; programmes will train young people in technical trades so they can acquire in-demand skills. Young people will be able to start their own businesses, for example in subcontracting or selling mineral-derived products. By integrating young people into productive employment and giving them the means to contribute to the economy, this project will reduce precarity and strengthen their role in national development. This project is intended as a lever for economic growth and a model of sustainable development, positioning Burundi as a competitive player in global markets for minerals and processed products.
