Enabel has been active in Rwanda since 1999 through partnerships and programmes with funding from Belgium and other commissioners. The current Belgian cooperation programme 2024-2029 of 95 million euros aims to contribute to Rwanda's socio-economic development, with focus on healthcare, agriculture, urbanisation and public financial management.

It is complemented with a five-year Belgium-funded thematic portfolio on social protection worth 17.6 million euros. This highlights Belgium’s and Rwanda's joint commitment to fostering significant, long-term growth and prosperity, to enhance the quality of life for all Rwandans.

With a budget of 45 million euros financed by the European Union, the Luxembourg Government, the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), Enabel has several projects focusing mainly on health, agroforestry and urbanisation. 

The projects align with Rwanda's Vision 2050 and the 2nd National Strategy for Transformation (NST2, 2024-2029), with priority sectors and objectives mutually agreed upon by the Belgian and Rwandan governments. Their goal is to promote sustainable development, enhance living conditions, and encourage inclusive growth within a climate-resilient welfare state.
