2025 job openings
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 change as cross-cutting issues, and the Green Growth and Climate Resilience Strategy guided the Rwandan economy toward a climate resilient and low carbon development pathway. In 2020, Rwanda committed to an ambitious climate action plan, and Vison 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 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 access to off-grid clean energy, 1 26,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions have been avoided, and 120,000 people have been supported to cope with the effects of climate change.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
Rwanda is highly vulnerable to climate change; facing increased incidences of droughts, floods, and landslides. Climate variability, especially heavy rainfall and temperature increases, has caused infrastructure damage, disrupted water management, and posed challenges to the growing urban population. The country is water-scarce, with a significant portion of the population lacking access to safe drinking water. Informal settlements, like those in Kigali, are particularly at risk due to poor infrastructure and high population density, exacerbating the challenges posed by climate change.
The Green City Kigali (GCK) project, located on Kinyinya Hill in Gasabo district, aims to address these issues by developing a sustainable urban community. The area, highly vulnerable to landslides, is set to become a model for affordable, climate-resilient housing and infrastructure development. The pilot phase includes upgrading the informal settlement at Ngaruyinka, a community with poor infrastructure and high climate vulnerability. The project’s goal is to mitigate and adapt to climate change while creating a toolkit for future informal settlement upgrades across Rwanda.
Rwanda Green Fund
The GCK project aligns with Rwanda’s climate goals, supporting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy initiatives and resilient infrastructure. It focuses on technical assistance to scale green construction practices and enhance institutional capacity. Through solar energy, water management, waste reduction, and low-emission construction methods, the project aims to create a replicable model for green urban development.
The project also integrates gender equality, recognizing the disproportionate impact of climate change on women. By promoting inclusive, sustainable, and low-emission urban development, the GCK contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including climate action, clean energy, and reduced inequalities. Expected outcomes include a climate-resilient community, increased awareness of green practices, and a foundation for future low-carbon investments in urban areas.
