The Government of Rwanda on 11 September 2025 officially kicked off the implementation of the Rwanda Green Taxonomy (RGT), alongside an innovative digital platform designed to accelerate its adoption across key sectors.
Rwanda’s Green Taxonomy strengthens Kigali International Financial Centre’s role as a trusted jurisdiction for sustainable investments. The taxonomy is designed to enhance KIFC’s ability to attract climate-conscious investors, foster innovation in green financial products, and support the development of a thriving, transparent, and future-proof financial ecosystem.
The Green Taxonomy implementation kick-off follows its approval by the Cabinet in April 2025. Rwanda has become the second country in Africa to establish such a framework, a critical step in combating greenwashing and directing capital toward sustainable projects.
The Rwanda Green Taxonomy (RGT) is a nationally developed framework that aims to define the sustainability criteria and foster shared understanding and trust on what constitutes a green investment. It is a policy tool to direct financial flows towards green, climate-resilient, and socially inclusive investments while providing clarity to market participants and minimizing the risk of greenwashing.
