Who We Are

Green City Kigali is an initiative led by the Government of Rwanda to address environmental and urban challenges through innovative models of green urbanisation. The project is a key component of the Rwandan-German Climate and Development Partnership and is supported by the German government through KfW Development Bank. 

Covering a designated 600-hectare area on Kinyinya Hill, the project aligns with the City of Kigali Master Plan 2050, envisioning an affordable, sustainable urban community for 170,000 to 200,000 residents. The initial phase will focus on a 16-hectare pilot site, planned for 1,700 to 2,000 units through public-private partnerships. 

The Green City Kigali Company, a special-purpose vehicle established by the Rwanda Green Fund and the Rwanda Social Security Board, is tasked with designing and delivering green infrastructure and affordable housing solutions, as well as procuring private developers to implement the 16-hectare pilot site, all to foster sustainable, climate-resilient urban communities in Rwanda.
