Norwegian People's Aid Rwanda
NPA’s Rwanda Programme began immediately after the genocide against the Tutsi in 1994 and until 2006 its main focus was on the direct implementation of post genocide reconstruction activities in the health and justice sectors. In terms of health, this entailed providing direct support to hospitals and promoting access to affordable healthcare. While in the justice sector this included constructing a prison, court, and prosecution offices at the district level, while more generally offering support and capacity building within the national court system. From 2007 NPA adopted a partnership model, with the overriding aim of supporting and developing the capacity of what was then a weak fledgling civil society with a very limited understanding - beyond service delivery and charitable giving - of the important role CSOs play in nurturing and upholding positive values in areas like anti-corruption, gender equity, poverty eradication, tolerance and promoting democracy.
