Project description
To support Rwanda’s Health Sector Strategic Plan V (2024–2029) to address maternal mortality (203 deaths per 100,000), chronic malnutrition (33% stunting), and non-communicable diseases (50% of deaths) while prioritizing climate resilience and gender-responsive care, the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) is developing a Results-Based Financing (RBF) loan in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH), Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC), and the Ministry of Finance (MINECOFIN).
AFD’s anticipated loan will use results-based payments conditioned on key performance indicators to strengthen Rwanda’s health system, building on existing RBF mechanisms to enhance access to climate-resilient, gender-responsive healthcare. This loan envisions a specific focus at district level in the Northern Province, targeting four districts: Musanze, Gakenke, Rulindo, and Gicumbi.

This planned support would focus on four strategic areas: Decentralized Healthcare, Health System Governance and Management, Biomedical and Health Infrastructure, and Climate Resilience.
The technical assistance project will be implemented over a period of 30 months. Under the management of a team leader, the team would consist of 8 Technical Experts, and would be supported by Expertise France’s Kigali-based Project Support Unit (PSU) for administrative, finance, HR and procurement, as well as Paris-based HQ for public health technical support.
