Our projects reflect REFAC’s deep commitment to transforming Rwanda’s education system through strong civil society leadership, evidence-based advocacy, and genuine inclusion. From strengthening accountable and citizen-centered education governance to advancing inclusive digital transformation, promoting gender equity, and enhancing national policy influence, each initiative is designed to bridge gaps between policy and practice, empower marginalized learners, and deliver quality education for every child. Together, these efforts build lasting capacity, foster collaboration with government and communities, and drive measurable progress toward national priorities and global goals ensuring no child is left behind.
