The Biodiversity Finance Plan for Rwanda is currently being developed. As a country that has experienced fluctuations in biodiversity expenses and low biodiversity mainstreaming in the natural resource sector, the Biodiversity Finance Plan will produce steps to implement a mix of finance solutions in order to expand and improve the country's biodiversity finance and achieve national biodiversity targets. 

The Workbook provides an innovative, stepwise and adaptable approach that enables countries to: Assess the policy, institutional, and economic context for biodiversity finance and map existing finance solutions; Measure current biodiversity expenditures, from the public and private sectors, donors and NGOs; Make a reliable estimate of the finance needed to achieve a country’s biodiversity goals, and compare this to current biodiversity expenditures; and develop a biodiversity finance plan that identifies and mobilises the resources and policies required to implement the most suitable finance solutions
