It focuses on two transformative pillars: (i) Environment and Economic Transformation, emphasizing nature-positive and climate-resilient solutions, and (ii) Transformational Governance.The CPD aligns with Rwanda's Vision 2050, which aspires to transition the country into a high-income, climate-resilient, and carbon-neutral economy. Despite Rwanda's impressive socioeconomic progresssuch as a 119% increase in its Human Development Index between 1990 and 2018, the highest growth rate globallychallenges remain. These include multidimensional poverty, persistent inequality, high unemployment (16.8%), and systemic opportunity gaps.
