Rwanda joined the World Bank in 1963. Since then, World Bank assistance on 70 projects has helped the country work towards achieving improved governance, economic growth and a reduction in poverty.
After the 1994 genocide, the World Bank responded with emergency recovery aid of about US$190 million. With the help of UNDP, the Bank organized the mobilization of donors, the coordination of activities and the implementation of several rehabilitating projects. (See Country Brief for more information.)
As of end September 2009, World Bank support to Rwanda consists of13 operations, including four loans, nine grants and two trust funds, with a net commitment of US$256.4million.
In addition, the World Bank supports the implementation of the Economic Development Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS) through a series of Poverty Reduction Strategy Grants (PRSGs). The World Bank also provides various analytical and advisory activities (AAA) to complement its financial support. The following are some of the projects on the World Bank.
