Mukwege Foundation in Burundi 
Since 2019, the Panzi Foundation DRC (FP) has been working in partnership with the University of Montreal (UdeM) to strengthen the Foundation’s capacity to continue combating sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), improving sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, and scaling up its capacity-building efforts with stakeholders in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and Burundi.       

To this end, a project has been developed by the consortium with UdeM as the lead, The ‘Tumaini’ project, which means ‘Hope’ in Swahili. Tumaini is planned as a five-year regional initiative and comprises three components: improving service delivery, utilisation and the structural framework to increase demand for holistic prevention and response services for SGBV. The project aims to reach the most marginalised and vulnerable populations and focuses on strengthening local capacity.     

The project is overseen by a steering committee supported by a coordination committee. Global Affairs Canada (GAC) has entrusted responsibility for the project to a Canadian supporting agency (CSA), represented by the UdeM through USI-HYGEIA. The UdeM, in consortium with the Panzi Foundation, is responsible for the management, implementation, oversight, approval and coordination of project activities in both the DRC and Burundi. The Dr Denis Mukwege Foundation (MF) has a contract signed with UdeM for the implementation of Tumaini activities in Burundi via its locally registered office in Bujumura. A team has been recruited and put into place in support of the project, namely a Programme Manager and other relevant support positions are in recruitment.
