The UK will launch a series of education initiatives in Rwanda during a three-day visit by a Foreign Office minister.
Andrew Mitchell will announce two measures aimed at strengthening education in Rwanda.
Under the UK’s new Girls in Rwanda Learn (Girl) programme, he will sign a seven-year partnership with Unicef that focuses on keeping girls in school who are at risk of dropping out, and supporting children with disabilities.
He is also expected to launch the British Council’s Digital Library, which is part of the UK’s efforts to make educational resources available to all.
Access to the library will be free for 12 months and provides more than 80,000 resources.
Mr Mitchell said: “During my visit to Rwanda, I will explore the depth and breadth of our relationship.
“Our two countries continue to work together on a range of issues important to both nations and the region, including climate change and women and girls’ education.
