WV Rwanda FY26 - FY30 Strategy Summary

World Vision Rwanda (WV Rwanda) presents its strategy for the period of 2026-2030. The strategy aims at holistically empowering and transforming the well-being of 2.5 million most vulnerable children. It builds upon the previous five-year strategy, which empowered over 2 million most vulnerable children. 

The strategy will continue to leverage our strong collaboration with the Government of Rwanda, Donors, implementing partners and other key stakeholders in delivering impact-driven programming. It will address context-specific, systemic, and structural drivers that hinder the transformational development of children in Rwanda by embracing the localization agenda to achieve measurable and sustainable improvements in child well-being.

 This strategy development process was informed by insights from external and internal landscape analysis, as well as the mapping of the most vulnerable children in the Rwanda context. Through this process, three Child Well-Being issues that undermine children’s long-term well-being and future opportunities were identified. These are: (i) Child labor, sexual abuse, and limited access to education, (ii) Malnutrition and stunting among children under five, and (iii) Limited access to income & productive assets, which the strategy will seek to address.

 In a bid to deliver the goal of holistically empowering and transforming the well-being of 2.5 million most vulnerable children by 2030, the strategy will be implemented through the Kura Neza Integrated Programme Framework (Kura Neza IPF). The Kura Neza IPF, which means Full Life Development, will comprise interventions covering child protection, education, health and nutrition, WASH, Climate change, and resilience & livelihoods. 

This goal will be reinforced by World Vision’s four strategic objectives: (i) Children report an increased awareness of God’s love, (ii) An increase in girls and boys protected from violence, (iii) An Increase in children who are well-nourished (0-5 ages), and (iv) Adolescents and youth live in economically viable households. 

The strategy will also be supported by the implementation of the following cross-cutting themes: strategic partnership and advocacy, Gender Equality Disability & Social Inclusion (GEDSI), and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). The strategy is also aligned with the SDGs and the Government of Rwanda’s 2024-2029 NST 2. 

This strategy will be implemented in the current 18 operational districts with a plan to extend to other districts as the strategy period progresses.
