Rwanda and UNDP in action

Integrated development solutions driven by country priorities and UNDP’s new Strategic Plan.

Our Strategic Plan 2022-2025 introduces the evolution of #NextGenUNDP into #FutureSmartUNDP. More than a mantra, it is our new benchmark for success in the future of development. Building on UNDP’s 50 years of expertise across 170 countries, this new approach allows us to focus and prioritize where country demands are greatest. By working together in this way, we aim to expand people’s choices for a fairer, sustainable future, with people and planet in balance.

Our work

See how our integrated signature solutions – powered by digitalization, innovation and development financing – are accelerating impact and scale in Rwanda.

Our mission at UNDP has been to help Rwanda build stronger institutions, eradicate poverty and inequality, protect the environment, uphold human rights, adhere to good governance, and create decent employment opportunities for its youth, women and men. At UNDP we also plan to aid all Rwandans, especially the most vulnerable, enjoy the benefits of their country's development and to be protected from adverse impacts of natural disasters and climate change.

Transformational Governance for Development

In order for inclusive and sustainable growth to be reached, it is important to create peaceful, just and inclusive societies. It isn crucial that citizens are engaged, participating within the decision-making processes and that public and private institutions are free from corruption and are being held accountable for their actions. That being said, UNDP will continue working with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and will support peace building initiatives to achieve and promote unity, reconciliation and social cohesion at the community level.

Inclusive Green Economy

UNDP Rwanda has actively supported the Government and people of Rwanda towards realising national objectives and targets as articulated in the National Strategy for Transformation (NST1) and the Vision 2050. The programme of support is anchored in the Rwanda United Nations Development Assistance Plan (UNDAP II 2018-2023) which was developed alongside NST1 and is aligned to both national priorities and the SDGs. Further, UNDP’s support efforts respond to specific sector and subsector strategic plans.
