As early as 1967, the Center for Research and Social Animation (CERAS), attached to the Secretariat of the Bishops of Rwanda and Burundi, played the role of relay to the activities of Inades-Formation based in Abidjan. The Center provided subscriber management for correspondence courses.

In 1974, the Inades-Formation Institution Office was set up, autonomous from CERAS. On 25 March 1975, Inades-Formation Burundi acquires legal recognition as a non-profit association of Burundian law, independent of the Episcopate of the Catholic Church of Burundi. Its headquarters housing the National Office is located in Bujumbura, on the boulevard of UPRONA. In 2000, Inades-Formation Burundi is recognized as an international NGO.
