Project Goal

Targeted refugees and host community members are graduated from extreme poverty by 2022 

Project Objectives

  1. Improved and established food security and nutrition for PoCs in the refugee camps and host communities 
  2.  PoCs income is increased through job creation and employment opportunities.
  3. Improved skills development of refugees and selected households in the community.
  4.  PoCs supported with access to formal financial services.  

Situational Context

 In Rwanda, PoCs have the legal rights to employment, however, structural problems make it difficult for refugees to become self-reliant. 91% of PoCs  live in camps with limited employment opportunities and access to financial services. The main economic activities for PoCs within the various camps include inter-camp trading established by the PoCs; other economic activities include tailoring and hairdressing (World Bank). The main industry for Rwanda is the agriculture sector comprising between 84.9%-85.2% of employment in most districts. An exception is the Gatsibo district which has an informal private sector comprising 81.7% of the districts employment (World Bank). 

Progress Updates

  • The concept note has been finalised and approved by the Technical Advisory Group.
  • Donors have been approached with regard to closing the funding gap.
  • Caritas Rwanda is implementing with 840 households funded through UNHCR
