Third Poverty Reduction Strategy Grant

closed

The proposed Poverty Reduction Support Grant (PRSG) for Rwanda is the third in a series designed to assist the Government of Rwanda (GoR) to implement key policy actions outlined in its 2002 Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), which focuses on (a) creating a favorable private sector investment climate to promote macroeconomic stability and sustained economic growth; (b) improving quality, coverage, and equity of basic service delivery through improved expenditure efficiency; and (c) supporting overall improvement of public expenditure management and governance, with an emphasis on transparency and accountability to citizens' voice and participation. The proposed PRSG III continues support to the GoR as it implements the next steps in its reform program, now being undertaken in an environment of enhanced decentralization.
