Summary: In their Concluding Observations of Burundi, the CESCR provides recommendations to the State party to take measures to address poverty and discrimination on the basis of gender and sexual orientation, to promote the rights to work, social security, housing, food, health and education, and to promote the rights of children, among others. On resources, the Committee recommends that the State party take steps to implement a fiscal policy that is suited to needs, progressive and socially just, including by improving tax collection levels and thereby ensuring the availability of resources for the realization of economic, social and cultural rights. It also recommends that the State party review its allowable tax exemptions, inasmuch as they reduce tax revenue, and that it prepare all fiscal reforms and budget proposals using a transparent, participatory approach, allocating the maximum resources possible to the exercise of rights under the Covenant.
