Consultancy Services to Conduct a Scoping Study and Development of Framework for Private Students Financing and Related Interventions

About Access to Finance Rwanda

Access to Finance Rwanda (AFR) is a Rwandan not-for-profit Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG), established in 2010 to promote financial inclusion and financial sector development in Rwanda. AFR is currently funded by Sweden, the Mastercard Foundation, Co-Develop, and the Gates Foundation.

AFR supports the removal of systemic barriers that hinder effective and sustainable access and usage of financial services by low-income people, particularly the rural poor, women, youth, smallholder farmers, and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). AFR is a gender-intentional organization and mainstreams gender equality across all its programs.

Guided by the Market System Development (MSD) approach, AFR recognizes that efforts to increase financial inclusion and financial sector development must be market-led, profitable, and sustainable.

AFR is part of the broader Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) network in Africa that seeks to create transformative impact on ending poverty by supporting efforts to improve financial inclusion and financial sector development. This is done by working with policymakers, regulators, financial service providers, and other market participants to drive more inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Over the last 15 years, AFR has rolled out many programs and implemented projects and interventions that contributed to the inclusion of many Rwandans in the financial ecosystem.
