A team from UNEP and UNITAR visited Rwanda in May 2022 to document the impact of the joint UNDP‒UNEP Poverty-Environment Action for Sustainable Development Goals (2018-2022) project and learn how Rwanda’s efforts to achieve sustainable development would be sustained after 2022. We examined how Rwanda‘s “Green Village” projects address poverty-related environmental problems such as soil erosion, inadequate access to water, deforestation and unsustainable land use and clean energy. The National Climate and Environment Fund (FONERWA) helped provide sustainable financing of poverty-environment linkages at the national and local level and turbocharged the Green Villages, which evolved to become “Integrated Development Project Model Villages”. The interventions have enabled their communities to increase livelihoods, improve food security, protect natural resources , advance gender equality and enable children, particularly girls, to attend school.
