Support Accreditation Gap Assessment and Action Plan Rwanda Development Bank

The Development Bank of Rwanda (BRD) is seeking support from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for a gap assessment to identify weaknesses in its current capacity relative to GCF accreditation requirements. BRD has a long history of providing long-term finance in Rwanda, with over 50% of its portfolio dedicated to agriculture and renewable energy. A notable project is the World Bank-financed 'Renewable Energy Fund' (REF), worth US$ 48.94 million, which aims to increase electricity access via off-grid technologies, targeting 445,500 connections and benefiting 1.8 million people.

• The Development Bank of Rwanda (BRD) is requesting a gap assessment from the Green Climate Fund to identify shortcomings and weaknesses that must be addressed to meet accreditation requirements before submitting its application.
• More than half of BRD's portfolio is concentrated in the renewable energy and agriculture sectors, both of which involve climate change mitigation and adaptation activities.
• Since 2017, BRD has managed the World Bank-financed 'Renewable Energy Fund' (REF), a US$ 48.94 million initiative designed to expand off-grid electricity access in Rwanda, with a goal of 445,500 connections benefiting 1.8 million people (52% women).
