Particularly, the Pandemic has deeply affected businesses and jobs. Globally and in Rwanda as well, companies (Micro, small, and medium enterprises) were under strain due to unfavorable working conditions imposed by the Pandemic. The economic conditions slowdown forced the families to initiate serious decisions on usual spending. This with many other decisions explains several impacts associated with Covid-19. School dropout and a sharp increase in GBV, conflicts, and domestic violence were among the most severe social conditions currently society is facing. Addressing social and economic problems induced and accelerated by Covid-19, the Government of Rwanda through its various ministries and in collaboration with international organizations, non-government organizations, and other agencies in consultation with various economic stakeholders and development partners in formulating and implementing plans to expand its social protection programs and to increase economic support.
