NEW YORK, USA, 11 June 2009 At yesterdays meeting, Burundi presented its first full UNICEF country programme since 1992, after emerging from 16 years of conflict. While this is a positive sign of increasing normalcy, Burundi still faces complex political, economic and social challenges that have an enormous impact on children. Instability and insecurity still exist, impeding social rehabilitation, reconstruction and development. The different measures for children in Burundi have been taken in a global context marked by an economic crisis, coupled with a food and energy crisis, which are unprecedented, said Ambassador Adolphe Nahayo of Burundi, an official at the countrys Ministry of External Relations and International Cooperation. Burundi has not been spared and must more and more confront the reintegration of repatriates, the reintegration of demobilized people and internally displaced persons, he continued. The presence of these crises could bring poverty to a large number of children and exacerbate the deprivations they suffer already.
