In 2011, the Executive Director of Réseau des Citoyens Probes(RCP), CEO of the Burundi Bar Association and University for Peace alumnus, Mr. Vital Nshimirimana, started a process to raise awareness about the Earth Charter in Burundi.

The first step was to translate the Earth Charter into Kirundi, one of the official languages of Burundi. He also wrote an article that related to his work at RCP on corruption and how the Earth Charter can have a role in addressing this issue.
