The Communes of Burundi are divided into 2,639 collines. Colline means "hill" in French, one of the three official languages of the country. After a parliamentary vote, a proposed new territorial subdivision was voted. With this new subdivision, the number of collines will be increased to 3,044.[1]
Collines serve as the base level for community decision-making, often with elected colline councils playing a key role in local governance and conflict resolution.[2]
These collines are home to roughly 90% of Burundi’s rural population, many of whom rely on hill-based subsistence agriculture, but they are increasingly threatened by soil erosion and landslides exacerbated by climate change.[3]
The current collines are listed below, by commune:
