The Government of Rwanda has allocated $430 million for infrastructure development in the 2025/2026 fiscal year, signalling continued investment in critical sectors to support economic growth and improve public service delivery.
According to the Ministry of Infrastructure, the funding will support six major national projects, focusing on transport, energy, water access, and waste management. The government aims to accelerate connectivity, enhance urban services, and strengthen the country’s resilience through sustainable infrastructure investment.
Key initiatives include the construction of new roads and rehabilitation of existing ones, with the goal of reducing travel time, easing the movement of goods and people, and promoting regional trade. Upgrades to the national road network are expected to boost agricultural value chains and facilitate access to markets.

The budget also prioritises expanded access to clean water and electricity, particularly in rural and peri-urban communities. The government’s target is to increase the percentage of households with access to basic water services and to continue progress towards full national electrification.
One of the standout projects in the pipeline is the development of a modern landfill in Nduba, on the outskirts of Kigali. The facility is part of Rwanda’s broader waste management and environmental protection strategy. It will incorporate sustainable landfill technology and help reduce the capital’s reliance on ageing waste infrastructure, while improving public health and sanitation.
The investment reflects Rwanda’s ongoing commitment to green urban development, as well as its ambition to become a regional hub for sustainable infrastructure innovation.
