EU support to refugees in Rwanda

The EU is, together with the EU Member States, one of the main financial and technical supporters of UN Agency for Refugees (UNHCR) globally and together with the UNHCR and the Government of Rwanda helps to provide assistance to the refugees from the Great Lakes region residing in the country. In addition, the EU provides a €10.3 million support package to the UNHCR's Emergency Transit Mechanism (ETM) in Rwanda, offering a life-saving avenue out of Libya for people in need of international protection, with a view to their further resettlement.
