 Implementation Status and Key Decisions

  The project was approved by the Board on February 28, 2018, and the legal agreements were signed between the Bank and the Government of
  Rwanda on March 7, 2018. Immediately following the launch of the Rwanda’s Multi-sectoral program to Combat Chronic Malnutrition and Invest in
  the early years in May 2018, the project became effective on June 5, 2018. The project is under implementation for almost 3 years and continues to
  enjoy high-level political commitment and attention, strong capacity to mobilize communities, and good collaboration on the ground with other
  development partners. Despite the impacts due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the project implementation is steady with a disbursement rate of
  64.7% as of July 2021. The project restructuring to reallocate the unused amount from the EVD-CERC is ongoing.
