The March–June 2025 ActionAid Rwanda Newsletter highlights the organization’s advocacy for debt justice and climate responsibility as Rwanda prepares its third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0) under the Paris Agreement. A high-level breakfast dialogue brought together government, financial actors, civil society, and academia to discuss aligning debt sustainability with climate finance, emphasizing innovative tools such as debt-for-nature swaps, feminist budgeting, and sustainability-linked bonds. With Rwanda’s external debt at $9.69 billion (60.2% of GDP), the discussions stressed the need to safeguard fiscal space for social services and climate resilience while positioning Rwanda to influence global debates on financing for development and Africa’s reparations agenda. The Newsletter also talks about other social justice programs ActionAid Rwanda has engaged in with our partners.
