Grateful to PM @Dr_JNsengiyumva for a productive meeting at #UNGA81 & for Rwanda’s strong climate partnership. Together, we’re advancing Rwanda’s country-led climate priorities into investments that help communities protect their livelihoods & build resilience to climate impacts.
A significant milestone for Rwanda’s green growth journey.
Cabinet has approved the draft law establishing the Rwanda Green Fund, marking an important step towards strengthening our mandate to mobilise and invest sustainable finance.
Once enacted, the law will enable the Fund to deploy a wider range of financing instruments, provide advisory services and establish a dedicated investment arm to mobilise private capital for green and climate-aligned investments across Rwanda.
This is an important step towards a stronger institution equipped to accelerate climate action, sustainable development and Rwanda’s transition to a green economy.
