Rwanda Aims to Improve Quality of Basic Education

The government and World Bank signed a US$35 million grant to institute reforms in teacher development and management, as well as in girls' education.

 

World Bank assistance to Rwanda is helping to fight poverty, improve the lives of the Rwandese and give hope for the future of the nation as a whole.

Rwanda joined the World Bank in 1963. Since then, the country has financed 70 IDA credits and grants totaling approximately US$1.4 billion. As of end July 2009, World Bank support to Rwanda consists of 13 operations, including four loans, nine  grants and two trust funds, with a net commitment of US$ 264.4 million.

Rwanda’s Bank-supported active projects are in the following sectors:

  
  • Agriculture and rural development
  • Education
  • Infrastructure
  •  Finance
  • Health
  • Industry and trade
  • Information Communication Technology
  • Law and justice and public administration
  • Transportation and telecommunication
