The United States Fund through the United Nations children’s fund donated over 30 million dollars towards child healthcare last year alone.
The coordinator for the US fund, Jim Stafford told APA that donation was made easy by Rwanda’s maternal and child health program.
“The program has made monitoring child health easy while fund monitoring can also be easily assessed,” Stafford said.
The US fund officials and officials of the ministry of health held a fund assessment meeting Thursday where the US fund pledged more support of the ministry.
Stafford said Rwanda offered good example in accountability and deserved more support where possible.
According to Rwanda’s Health Minister, Richard Sezibera, US fund is one of the biggest supporters of UNICEF contributing 56% of UNICEF support to Rwanda.
