Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The European Union, under its Multiannual Indicative Program (MIP) has committed to provide a total of Rwf278 billion (\u20ac260 million) for a period of four years, as part of the efforts to strengthen the latter\u2019s bilateral cooperation with Rwanda.<\/p>\n

The development was announced Wednesday, May 18 by the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Uzziel Ndagijimana alongside Myriam Ferran, Deputy- Director General of the European Commission\u2019s Directorate General for International Partnerships.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, the officials took stock of the current progress of the EU-Rwanda partnership, especially EU\u2019s support to Rwanda\u2019s Covid-19 recovery plans as well as concrete investments on local vaccine manufacturing by the European private sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cEU support to key areas such as human capital development, green economy through agriculture transformation, private sector development as well as governance is a sign of strengthened collaboration, partnership and enhanced ownership to deliver transformational change we both desire,\u201d said Minister Ndagijimana.<\/p>\n

The fund, he added, will benefit strategic areas including education, skills and jobs for the youth in the digital age, a green deal for inclusive development as well as political and economic governance.<\/p>\n

Ferran echoed similar sentiments, citing that for the past two decades, Rwanda and the EU have shared long and fruitful relations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe European Union has a long standing partnership with Rwanda and we are proud to be one of the key partners in the country\u2019s path to sustainable development,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

According to Ferran, the officials also discussed the adoption of the new EU cooperation strategy with Rwanda, an \u2018important\u2019 step to turn political and strategic decisions into concrete action.<\/p>\n

The new cooperation strategy, officials said, will be implemented under the new Global Europe financing instrument launched in December last year to, among others, increase the collective scale and impact of European partners in Rwanda.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this strategy we renew the EU\u2019s commitment to support pro-poor, sustainable and inclusive economic growth,\u201d Ferran reiterated.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the priority areas under the new initiative, she said that the partnerships include climate and environment, green and digital transition, energy, transport as well as health and education.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll those areas are really key areas of cooperation between Rwanda and the EU,\u201d she asserted.<\/p>\n

Growth of bilateral ties in leaps and bounds was recently evidenced by hosting the EU-AU ministerial meeting in Kigali, among other developments.<\/p>\n
