A new EU aid to Congo and Rwanda for 2014 - 2020 will be announced by
the European Commissioner for Development, Andris Piebalgs.

Commissioner Piebalgs, will announce an EU aid of €620 million to
Congo and of €460 million to Rwanda. The Commissioner will make the
official announcement for the new EU support during a visit to the
Great Lakes region in Central Africa together with the Belgian
Minister for International Cooperation, Jean-Pascal Labille. According
to the Commission, the amounts represent a significant increase of
funding compared to recent years.

Ahead of his arrival Mr. Piebalgs said. "The Great Lakes region and
its citizens have faced some exceptional challenges in recent years –
these challenges are not over, but we should recognize that we are at
a moment of opportunity, with the end of the M23 conflict and welcome
signs of improved stability and security…Working together brings
important benefits in itself, but doing so in the cause of economic
development - and above all of peace and security - will provide an
invaluable legacy to future generations. This is not just about
international assistance, though that is important, but about creating
conditions that allow all citizens to fulfil their potential in a safe
environment, with their rights protected by strong and accountable
institutions."

The EU funding 2014-2020 in Congo will be used to fight poverty by
promoting inclusive and sustainable growth, strengthen democracy and
human rights and contribute to peace and stability in the region. A
special focus will be on security sector reform, to modernise the
security forces and the justice systems. In Rwanda the overall
objective of the EU support is to reduce poverty, support the already
significant progress made towards achieving the Millennium Development
Goals, and to strengthen democratic governance with safeguards for
human rights. Focal sectors of EU assistance agreed with donors and
government will be sustainable energy, sustainable agriculture and
food security and governance.
