Rwanda COVID-19 Emergency Response Project

The purpose of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Emergency Response Project in Rwanda is to prevent, detect and respond to the threat posed by COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and strengthen national systems for public health preparedness. This project consists of four components. Component one will support the government to enhance disease surveillance, improve sample collection and ensure rapid laboratory confirmed diagnoses to promptly detect all potential COVID-19 (Coronavirus) cases and to carry out contact tracing to quickly contain COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Component two will fund the reinforcement of public health policies and measures and the establishment of critical clinical care capacity at a network of public sector district hospitals, promoting digital solutions to be explored during implementation. Component three will support program coordination, management and monitoring; operational support and logistics; and project management. Finally, component four will provide support for future emergency responses.
