Project narrative

On July 29, 2014, the Chinese Embassy in Burundi held a handover ceremony for the donation of $100,000 to the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR). The Ambassador of China accredited to Republic of Burundi, H.E. Yu Xu Zhong presented the cheque to the ICGLR Executive Secretary, Professor Ntumba Luaba at ICGLR offices in Burundi in presence of ICGLR Management and staff. Ntumba Luaba expressed gratitude to the government of China for the donation and underscored he is committed to use it for the Conference Secretariat visibility. The grant is allocated for ICGLR's pact on "security, stability and development in the Great Lakes Region." In French, ICGLR is known as Conférence Internationale sur la Région des Grands Lacs or CIRGL.
