a. Survival and development (art 5) This section was developed earlier in paragraphs 39 and 40 b. Children with disabilities (art 13) 86. Article 22 of Burundi's 2005 Constitution guarantees equal protection to all individuals. Indeed, "No one may be discriminated against (... ..) because of a physical or mental disability or because he suffers from HIV / AIDS or any other incurable disease. ". Burundi has also ratified the UN Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2014 and it is in the process of developing national instruments for its domestication. 87. The statistical data provided by Burundi's 2008 general population and housing census, Volume 1, published in December 2011, indicate that children aged 0 to 14 living with disabilities are in the following categories: 22,340 Blind, 10,879 Deaf, 6,190 Mute, 2,518 Deaf-Mute, 6,389 lower limb impairment, 3,723 upper limb impairment, 6,369 Mentally impaired and 17,247 Other. The major problem faced by these children is their stigmatisation by society. 88. Burundi has taken many initiatives to ensure the enjoyment of all rights for children with disabilities, including the right to health. Indeed, a centre equipped to take care of the mobility impairment, namely the National Centre of Apparatus and Rehabilitation (CNAR) of Gitega was created. Other National Socio-Professional Reintegration Centres in Bujumbura and Ngozi are functional. 89. In addition to these centres are five special needs schools for the sensory disabled: - The EPHATA deaf-mute school from Kamenge in Bujumbura; - Two schools for the blind of Mutwenzi in Gitega and of Gihanga in Bubanza; - Two schools for the care of mentally diabled children of Akamuri in Bujumbura City and the Medico-Pedagogical Institute of Mutwenzi in Gitega, etc. 90. It should also be noted that the Government encourages the initiatives of national and international organisations. It is in this context that the association of disabled persons called "Union of Disabled Persons of Burundi" was born and is actively involved in raising awareness and fighting for the rights of disabled people, including their medical care and their education. In addition, the Government financially supports the National Centres for the Disabled. c. Health and health services (art 14) 91. The 2005 Constitution recognises the right to health for all (Article 55). Children's health is a concern of the Government of Burundi which has resulted in the pursuit and achievement of the two Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): MDG4, which aims to reduce by two-thirds the mortality rate infant-juvenile for the period 1990 to 2015, and the MDG5 which aimed at improving maternal health by reducing the maternal mortality rate from 1990 to 2015 in order to increase access to universal reproductive medicine. This aspect is tackled through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically through the SDGs 2,3,6 which are respectively, eliminate hunger, ensure food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture, enable all to live in good health and to promote the well-being of all at all ages, guarantee access for all to water and sanitation and ensure sustainable resource management of water. 24
