Economic and employment promotion programme - Promotion of the microfinance sector

completed

The aim of the project is to set up a microfinance fund that will support Rwandan microfinance institutions (MFIs) with technical and financial resources. It is intended to enable them to provide the people of Rwanda with financial services that meet their needs. By providing needs-based financial products through efficient and sustainably operating MFIs, rural borrowers and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in particular will be able to expand their economic activities and carry out income-generating activities. By expanding business activities and creating new jobs, economically active households will be able to invest in their social development. The project will thus contribute to promoting the private sector and employment as well as reducing poverty, particularly by targeting rural areas.
