About the National Strategy for Sustainable Graduation

Rwanda aims to achieve high quality standards of living for all as set out in the trajectory laid out in the Vision 2020. Significant progress has already been made in reducing poverty with levels of poverty falling from 58.9% in 2001 to 38.2% in 2016/17 and more than 1 million people successfully lifted out of poverty.

A clear conceptual framework for promoting graduation is articulated within several key Government documents, including the Vision 2050 which sets out the ambition of achieving high standards of living - without leaving anyone behind, the National Strategy for Transformation (NST1), and the National Social Protection Policy and its strategy.

The Government of Rwanda seeks to build on the strong progress made in reducing poverty levels and is now working towards reducing the number of people living in extreme poverty to below 1% by 2024 and eliminating poverty by 2030. The ultimate objective is to enhance the living standards of all Rwandans.

In order to achieve these ambitious targets, there is a need to ensure that policies and programs are put in place to effectively promote sustainable graduation out of poverty. The NST1 Priority Area 1, focuses on “Graduation from Poverty and Extreme Poverty and Promoting Resilience”.

In addition, outcome 6 and 7 of the ‘National Social Protection Strategy (2017-2024)’ set the target that extremely poor households have increased access to livelihood support services for economic empowerment (outcome 6) and strengthened values of self-reliance, respect for rights and community-based support for the vulnerable (outcome 7).

The aim is to support the operationalization of the strategic approach to graduation articulated within NST1 and the Social Protection Policy (June, 2020) as well as the National Social Protection Strategy (2017-24).
