Summary:Burundi's extreme poverty, post-conflict environment, and persistent fragility created considerable risks to program implementation, calling for extensive flexibility in engagement.

Ensuring public debt sustainability should remain a key program objective. Risks to the new program are likely to remain high but manageable.
