{{The government of Rwanda and the Federal Republic of Germany are holding inter-government consultations aimed jointly evaluating the status of cooperation between the two countries.}}<\/p>\n

The two day consultations which begun today will partly focus on determining the achievements of development cooperation phase (2011 and 2013) but also discuss and strategize future relations between the two countries. <\/p>\n

Under the 2011-2013 development cooperation phase, Germany pledged \u20ac60 million support to Rwanda, of which \u20ac41.5 million were earmarked for Financial Cooperation and \u20ac18.5 million euros for Technical Cooperation.<\/p>\n

Minister of Finance and Economic Planning Claver Gatete acknowledged Germany\u2019s participation in the Rwanda\u2019s Development aspirations. \u201cI am happy to note that Germany intervention currently focuses on key development domains which are Rwanda\u2019s top priority,\u201d Minister Gatete said.<\/p>\n

Under the existing Donor Division of Labor, the German government is active in interventions such as decentralization, education (TVET), Private Sector development, youth employment and financial sector. It also provides support to the Public Finance Management basket fund.<\/p>\n

Division of labor is a government-led streamlining of aid delivery that ensures development assistance is not overcrowded in some sectors while others receive little or no assistance.<\/p>\n

The Ambassador of Germany to Rwanda Peter Fahrenholtz acknowledged Rwanda\u2019s achievements in improving the lives of Rwandans through championing an inclusive growth plan reflected in Vision 2020 and the medium term development strategy, EDPRS2.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Development cooperation is the cornerstone of our relations and Germany will remain a reliable partner to Rwanda,\u201d Ambassador Fahrenholtz pledged.<\/p>\n

Ms. Kirsten Garaycochea, the head of the Germany Delegation in Rwanda for the consultations retreated Rwanda\u2019s ambitious development achievements ranging from poverty reduction, promotion of investments, private sector development as well as achievement of Millennium Development Goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cRwanda has registered impressive development achievement in the past 20 years and we look forward to be part of this journey,\u201d Ms. Garaycochea said.<\/p>\n
