Biography

Sixte Vigny Nimuraba is currently the Dean’s Assistant and a Ph.D. Student in the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (S-CAR),at George Mason University (GMU).  He serves as the Director of GPP’s Violence Prevention Initiative. He has been working with many Burundian organizations to prevent violence in the last two years. He is a Shinnyo alumni. In his shinnyo–en Foundation project, “Building inter-cultural Bridges at GMU,” he brought together international and American GMU students through dialogue. In 2013, he received the John Burton award from George Mason University for having exhibited excellence in academics as well as an emphasis on understanding the role of human needs in promoting conflict. Currently, he is working closely with the Burundian civil society, national and international organizations to prevent violence before, during and after the 2015 elections in Burundi. He has been working closely with UNHCR and Ligue Iteka in Burundi until 2011 as Regional Coordinator through the Ligue Iteka’s Monitoring of Returnees Project. First he coordinated activities in five Northern provinces (Ngozi, Kirundo, Kayanza, Muyinga and Karusi) and after got promoted and coordinated the South (Makamba, Bururi and Rutana) because there was a higher number of returnees and land conflicts to deal with. Before Ligue Iteka, he held different positions from local and international organizations such as VISPE, Care International, and CNLS, among others, from which he got the inspiration and passion to dedicate his life to peaceful coexistence, Human Rights and social cohesion. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Uni
