This paper explores the changing roles of diasporas in post-conflict Burundi in terms of contributing to development, reconciliation and peace building. The authors explore the various initiatives that have been taken by various actors in order to try to engage the diaspora in peace building and development. The paper demonstrates that it is a great challenge for the conflict-generated diaspora to redefine its role from being in political opposition to the home country to being part of the development process.
