Rwanda has been the tenth fastest growing economy in the world over the past decade, has lifted 1 million people out of poverty, and is actively engaged in creating the enabling conditions for building a green economy.
However, the country is still facing considerable challenges, such as high and persistent extreme poverty, reliance on vulnerable agricultural systems, and insufficient coordination across sectors. The Government of Rwanda recognizes the opportunities for green economy to generate sustained economic growth while ensuring social well-being and mitigating environmental risks and has incorporated green and inclusive growth goals into its Vision 2020.
