Background and context
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to Rwanda’s development. This is why the Government has prioritized the green economy and an economic transformation that is environmentally sustainable and climate resilient. The National Strategy for Transformation identifies environment and climate change as cross-cutting issues and the Green Growth and Climate Resilience Strategy guides the Rwandan economy toward a climate resilient and low carbon development pathway. In 2020, Rwanda committed to an ambitious climate action plan, and Vision 2050 sets the goal for Rwanda to be carbon neutral by the middle of the century.
To finance the Green Growth and Climate Resilience Strategy and Rwanda’s green growth ambitions, the Rwanda Green Fund (FONERWA) was established.
The Fund is a ground-breaking environment and climate change investment fund that provides targeted financial and technical support to contribute to Rwanda’s vision of becoming a carbon neutral and climate-resilient economy.
The Fund has mobilized close to USD 250 million for 46 green investments in sustainable transport, renewable energy, green cities, and biodiversity conservation. As a result of these investments, 176,000 green jobs have been created, 88,000 households have been provided with improved access to off-grid clean energy, 126,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions have been avoided and 120,000 people have been supported to cope with the effects of climate change.
The Fund is inviting passionate and competent personnel to join our team. Please find below the job positions and required qualifications and experience.
