The money will mostly be used to help 1.3 million people in rural areas get access to clean water, Germany’s ambassador to Burundi, Joseph Weiss, said.
"Nearly 80 percent of this amount is going into the water sector. We hope the aid will improve the living conditions of poor people in rural areas," he told reporters after signing an agreement with Burundi’s foreign affairs minister.
Weiss said his government had allocated 60 million euros in aid for energy projects in the great lakes region. The aid would help to boost energy distribution between Burundi, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo, he said.
