Accelerating Growth of MSMEs through Expanding the E-Commerce sector in Rwanda

Overview

  • The iHuzo project was launched in September 2020 by Access to Finance Rwanda (AFR) with the partnership with Mastercard Foundation, Rwanda ICT Chamber and BFA Global. The project was set up in response to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 containment measures in Rwanda. Restrictions on movement and social interactions between people impeded commercial activities undertaken through physical engagements, leading to a significant decline in revenues/income among many MSMEs and various types of professionals.
  • The project sought to boost the adoption and usage of e-commerce among MSMEs in Rwanda by promoting an enabling market system for e-commerce, building the capacity of MSMEs to operate on digital commerce platforms and creating incentives for e-commerce platforms to seek to onboard more MSMEs.
