Bujumbura

The United States of America is to triple the aid granted yearly to Burundi. The aid will pass from less $10 million to $28.6 million in the year 2008. This is part of an agreement between Ms. Patricia Moller, the American Ambassador to Burundi, and the Burundi's Minister for Cooperation, Ms Antoinette Batumubwira.

These funds will be channelled through the USAIDS. This American organisation had demanded the American Senate and Parliament to increase the aid to Burundi. Recently representatives of the American senate visited Burundi and were shown some quarters of Bujumbura that were destroyed by heavy rains.

After the recent cabinet reshuffle, foreign governments which had previously been reluctant to support Burundi are slowly resuming to grant aids to the country.
