About CRS

Catholic Relief Services is the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the United States. CRS works to save, protect, and transform lives in need in more than 100 countries, without regard to race, religion or nationality. CRS’ relief and development work is accomplished through programs of emergency response, HIV, health, nutrition, agriculture, education, microfinance and peacebuilding.

Catholic Relief Services has been present in Rwanda since 1960, and currently implements projects in nutrition, WASH, agriculture, youth entrepreneurship and peacebuilding. The Country Program has over 80 staff and implements its projects through local and international partners, with strong coordination/collaboration with Government of Rwanda Priorities.

Program Description

The Gikuriro Kuri Bose (GKB) – Inclusive Nutrition and Early Childhood Development (INECD) program, a 5-year USAID funded activity (October 1, 2021 – September 30, 2026), has a broad focus on strengthening governance and coordination of inclusive nutrition and early childhood development (ECD) service delivery at national and decentralized levels; improving access and availability of high-quality inclusive nurturing care services; and increasing household resources and skills to provide optimum nurturing care and to promote healthy growth and development of children in the target areas. It also aims to address child development gaps and significant unmet physical rehabilitation and assistive technology (rehab/AT) and social inclusion needs for infants and children. The activity is focusing on community-level service delivery, community-health facility linkages and district level capacity development, as well as addressing issues of inclusion and participation, including access to programs and services for children and adults with disabilities, in line with Government of Rwanda priorities.

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is the prime of INECD and is implementing the Program in consortium with four technical partners and four implementing partners.The program is implemented in 10 districts: Kicukiro, Nyarugenge, Rwamagana, Rulindo, Burera, Nyabihu, Kayonza, Ngoma, Nyamasheke and Nyanza. It aims to improve the health, functioning, nutritional status, and wellbeing of women of reproductive age and children under six years of age, with an emphasis on the 1,000-day window, strengthen inclusion of children and adults with disabilities, and improve positive parenting and child development.
