USAID Rwanda is the civilian agency managing U.S. bilateral development assistance in Rwanda, operating under the principal auspices of the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The agency has closed 222 federal contract awards totaling $207 million in combined potential value since 2010, with $194.6 million obligated.
