About Bujumbura
Your host city for EACOA 2026
Bujumbura, its largest city and economic capital of Burundi, is situated on the northeastern shore of Lake Tanganyika.
Founded in 1871, it evolved from a small village into a significant urban center, especially during the German and Belgian colonial periods. Today, Bujumbura serves as the country's main port, facilitating the export of key commodities like coffee, cotton, and tin ore.
The city is also a cultural hub, boasting museums, parks, and historical sites such as the Livingstone-Stanley Monument and Rusizi National Park. Burundi has more than 12 million people including more than 5 million men and more than 6 million women.
