Abstract :
[en] This paper analyses the contribution of three programs of poverty reduction in Rwanda. It
uses data from different reports and surveys with beneficiary poor households of social
protection programs. The activities developed by these programs have allowed the poor in
general and the widows of genocide in the Eastern Province of Rwanda in particular to
improve their socioeconomic conditions, notably access to education, accommodation and
medical care. Moreover, the beneficiaries have developed activities that diversify households’
revenues and improve their economic resilience.
