On Wednesday, October 2, Prime Minister Dr. Edouard Ngirente met with Mr. Qimiao Fan, the World Bank Country Director for Rwanda, Kenya, Somalia, and Uganda.
“They discussed strengthening collaboration between the Government of Rwanda and the World Bank,” the Office of the Prime Minister posted on X.
Qimiao Fan has been the World Bank Country Director for Rwanda, Kenya, Somalia, and Uganda since September 2, 2024, succeeding Sahr John Kpundeh.
Rwanda became a member of the World Bank on September 30, 1963.
Since then, the bank has provided about US$8.2 billion in support of various development programs in Rwanda, including human capital, infrastructure, agriculture, resilience, and private sector development.
Over the last decade, one million people have lifted themselves out of extreme poverty, benefiting from a rapidly improving agricultural sector in which the International Development Association (IDA) has proudly made substantial investments.
