7 Years Government Programme: National Strategy for Transformation (NST1) 2017 –2024

The 7 year strategy, adopted in 2017, sets out the Government of Rwanda's plans for achieving its 2020 and 2050 Vision's for economic development. Climate Change is highlighted as a priority cross-cutting area in the strategy. The strategy is aimed at informing sectoral and district level strategies, that will enable Rwanda to achieve its development goals.

The strategy focuses on strengthening cross-sectoral cooperation as a mechanism to address climate change, with a focus on agriculture, urbanisation, infrastructure and land use management.

The strategy also identifies the fact that Rwanda's oil and gas reserves have yet to be fully exploited as an opportunity.
