Green Climate Fund Approves $28 Million Grant for Green City Kigali Project
The Government of Rwanda, through the Ministry of Environment, is proud to announce the approval of a $28 Million grant funding by the Green Climate Fund to support the Green City Kigali initiative. The project was announced in South Korea during the 40th Board Meeting of the GCF. This project will serve as a model for sustainable urbanization, showcasing climate-resilient, low-emission infrastructure development.
In Rwanda’s rapidly urbanizing capital, Kigali, nearly 77.3% of the population resides in unplanned settlements, making the city highly vulnerable to climate-related risks such as floods and landslides. The Green City Kigali Project, implemented by the Rwanda Green Fund addresses these challenges by focusing on the upgrade of informal settlements with innovative, sustainable and climate resilient solutions.
The project will be implemented over the next five years, positioning Kigali as a model of sustainable, climate-resilient urban development for the region.
