Member Series: Rwanda – The Role of Social Protection Programs

Rwanda has placed tremendous efforts in promoting financial inclusion. An evidence of this is the government’s will to put in place policies that promote financial inclusion and its vision to achieve a high-level of financial inclusion.

There are different initiatives for eradicating poverty in Rwanda that target different vulnerable groups. These include programs that provide support to genocide survivors, demobilization and reintegration of soldiers, rehabilitation of street children, people with disabilities, returnees and refugees, as well as a blended food program and the Vision Umurenge Program; the latter will be our focus among all the mentioned programs.
