The Government of Burundi has started to make significant progress to establish an efficient immigration and border management system, however several gaps remain with respect to border security capacities in the country. The persisting challenges related to porous borders, the constantly evolving cross border threats and transnational crimes, summed up with operational capacity limitations pose a strain to the ability of the Burundian General Commission for Migration (CGM) to better control the international borders. The proposed project aims to contribute to enhancing the capacity of Burundi’s border management authorities to efficiently manage cross-border movements through deployment of the IOM-developed Border Management Information System (BMIS): Migration Information and Data Analysis System (MIDAS). The project will install MIDAS at the Bujumbura Melchior Ndadaye International Airport, followed by specific training activities for border and immigration officers to be fully competent in using the BMIS. To ensure sustainability of the project activities, appointed officers will train trainers to be able to extend their knowledge and skills to other MIDAS users, including users at other potential future locations. The project also seeks to interconnect MIDAS with INTERPOL’s I-24/7 system in coordination with INTERPOL’S National Central Bureau (NCB) in Burundi, enabling real-time detection of wanted persons and people travelling under stolen or lost travel documents as well as real-time criminal information exchanges related to terrorism and transnational organized crime, contributing to ensuring that those attempting to cross the border do not pose a threat to national or international security.
