The Holy Archdiocese of Burundi and Rwanda and Inner Africa is a diocese under the jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa. Its territory includes the parishes and missions located in the countries of Burundi and Rwanda and a large area of the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
