African countries misuse development aid from donors because of "unclear" policies, Burundi 's first vice-president, Martin Nduwimana, said at an ongoing regional conference on gender and development in Bujumbura. “If we [African governments] set up clear policies, which would put an end to mismanagement, corruption and embezzlement, we will for sure give a chance to the integration of women in all sectors," Nduwimana said in his opening address at the four-day conference organised by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and Burundi's ministry of national solidarity, human rights and gender equality.
