Press Release: EU to provide €55 million for the people of Burundi

On 13 May 2016, the European Commission announced two new actions to support the people of Burundi: access to healthcare, worth €40 million and a rural development and nutrition programme, worth €15 million. Both programmes were implemented by non-governmental organisations and/or international agencies, following the European Council Decision earlier this year which suspended direct EU financial support to the Burundian administration.
