AfDB administers the AIIB loan and coordinates under a shared results framework, disbursing funds post-independent verification of energy access and service gains. This model ensures accountability toward Rwanda’s national targets via multilateral collaboration.
The programme delivers over 200,000 new national grid connections, 50,000 standalone solar home systems for low-income households, 100,000+ clean cooking solutions (improved biomass cookstoves/efficient tech), and 2,000 solar water heaters for households/SMEs.
It connects 850 industrial/commercial customers to reliable electricity, benefits public institutions like schools with clean cooking/power, and generates 6,000 direct/indirect jobs, prioritizing 2,000 youth-led SMEs in on/off-grid services.
Economic boosts include extended small business hours, safer neighborhoods via street lighting, reduced indoor pollution/fuel costs, and higher productivity. AfDB Rwanda Country Manager Aissa Toure Sarr called it a catalyst for resilience, lives, businesses, and climate adaptation.
Aligned with Vision 2050 for universal modern energy by 2035, Rwanda leads Africa blending grid/off-grid solar/clean cooking. The results-driven approach cuts biomass reliance, emissions, builds resilient infrastructure, and drives inclusive growth.
