Increase the national resource allocation for nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific interventions from FRw41 billion (US$41 million) in 2020/21 to FRw67 billion (US$67 million) by 2030. The government of Rwanda has been investing funds to reduce malnutrition through several initiatives such as Girinka and community-based nutrition programmes, elevating ECD and food security. Recently, the government introduced a nutrition budget tagging strategy across all key sectors affecting nutrition. This commitment shows that the country's budget allocation and resource mobilisation channelled into nutrition have been growing over the years, and the country commits to increasing budget allocation to the nutrition cause.
