partnership with the Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA) and other national
institutions towards delivering on identified national priorities in the
EDPRSII, especially supporting Priority 4 (Transform the economic geography of
Rwanda by facilitating and managing urbanization for increased growth
countrywide) and Priority 5 (Pursue a ‘green economy’ approach to economic
transformation).

The
Government of Rwanda (GoR) has actively and consistently pursued national
sustainable economic growth and development. The GoR recognizes the importance
of environmentally sustainable, climate resilient and low carbon development at
the highest policy level. This is reflected in the priorities of Economic
Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy II (EDPRS II), the Cabinet approval
of the Green Growth and Climate Resilience Strategy (GGCRS) in 2011 and the
consideration of environment and climate change as a cross cutting issue to be
mainstreamed across socio-economic sectors.

implementation of Rwanda’s green growth actions. As a result, the GoR has
established and is operationalizing the fund – FONERWA with growing
