History

The Order of Civil Merit is conferred upon Burundian politicians, magistrates, and other civil servants for exceptional service. It is also conferred upon Burundian citizens from the private sector who have rendered distinguished service to the nation.

Members of the Order are classified into four categories of rank based on their professional position. Each grade is conferred in recognition of multiple lengths of service, based on the category of rank of the recipient. The categories, in order of descending rank, are Above Rank, Direction, Collaboration, and Execution.

The Bronze Medal is awarded to those in the Execution category for 5 years of service.
