Abstract
Pan-Africanism has gained renewed interest in African studies with a focus on contemporary challenges and opportunities within specific national contexts. This study employs a multidisciplinary approach incorporating literature review, historical analyses, and thematic synthesis to explore the dynamics of Pan-Africanism in Burundi. While Pan-Africanism offers promising avenues for socio-economic development, it also poses challenges related to cultural preservation and state cohesion. Future research should focus on enhancing the inclusivity of Pan-Africanist policies to ensure equitable benefits across diverse ethnic groups in Burundi.
