Agaciro Fund, a solidarity fund initiated by Rwandans to improve the level of financial autonomy of Rwanda as discussed during last year\u2019s National Dialogue. <\/p>\n
This fund will be used to support key priorities such as rural development projects among others. The raised funds are over Rwf18bn within the period of less than a month. <\/p>\n
The Fund would not replace the traditional sources of state revenues, including donor aid, but will supplement them instead. <\/p>\n
The money in the fund will be managed as the governmental budget and audited by Auditor General. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
