Rwanda

Across Rwanda, Cordaid works with both the government and companies to give business owners access to microfinance, further develop the private sector and improve food security.

SOME OF OUR KEY RESULTS

WHAT WE DO IN RWANDA

Sustainable livelihoods
Our projects aim to strengthen households to generate more income from farming. Farmers are supported to increase the production of quality food to meet subsistence needs. We also focus on interventions that support communities to integrate climate change adaptation and mitigation, so they are better prepared for disasters and emergencies.

Through partnerships with key private sector players, we seek to strengthen the adoption of digital solutions as more reliable, and sustainable frameworks for systems strengthening in the agriculture sector.

WHERE WE WORK IN RWANDA

In the western and southern provinces, we support financial institutions by developing innovative, efficient and affordable digital credit platforms to support microfinance institutions in implementing an affordable and effective loan management system.

In the eastern part of the country, Cordaid is implementing a climate adaptation programme to promote community-led strategies for building climate-resilient ecosystems.

PARTNERS AND DONORS

In Rwanda, Cordaid works with both national and international partners, including the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, the Rwanda Government Board, the private sector, microfinance institutions, cooperatives, commercial banks, and research institutions.

We also partner with key networks such as BEAM to support strategies that create opportunities for vulnerable populations, especially women, to participate in markets and improve their quality of life.
