It is open to any natural and legal person of the Cibitoke diaspora who undertakes to respect the statutes and its ROI (Rules of Procedure) and who adheres to the vision, values, mission and objectives of CDN.

As an association, CDN wants to be an engine of community development in the province of Cibitoke in particular and in Burundi in general. Building a united and dynamic Cibitoke diaspora capable of making a positive contribution to the development of the province is the main mission of CDN.

To achieve this goal, the CDN strategy is on two essential levels:

    1. Launching projects and activities to involve members and empower the local population
    2. To become a centre with resources for the community in terms of material resources, knowledge, exchanges and skills.

  • Solidarity that remains one of the fundamental values of CDN. For this reason, CDN members are committed to maintaining the spirit of unity and team in order to achieve their vision. That is why the elementary notions of ethics, mutual respect, responsibility, equity and honesty must be put into CDN.



The organs of CDN are:

    ♦ General Assembly
    ♦ Executive committee

    ♦ Council of Wise Men
    ♦ Ad hoc committees
