<p>There are no plans for DFID to re-open the office in Burundi. Our bilateral programme
in Burundi closed in 2012 following the 2010 Bilateral Aid Review. We continue to
provide support to Burundi through Trade Mark East Africa (TMEA), an independent agency
promoting trade and regional economic integration given that this is central to Burundi’s
growth and prosperity. We have provided £10 million for TMEA work in Burundi since
2012. We also support Centrally Managed Programmes working in Burundi, covering areas
such as food security and livelihoods. In addition, we are providing significant humanitarian
support to Burundian refugees in the region and will consider providing humanitarian
support in Burundi should a humanitarian crisis materialise.</p>
