Finally, the subsidy mechanism which is meant to bring off-grid solar energy to thousands of households across Rwanda, currently does not include refugees residing in the country, meaning they are not eligible to benefit from the financial support offered to the citizens.
Energy access was already considered to be one of the main pillars of Rwanda's development back in 2000 when Vision 2020—a framework to guide Rwanda's development and the achievement of the aim of becoming a middle-income country by 2020, was launched (and subsequently revised in 2012) (Government of Rwanda, 2012b).

(2016) found that future adoption of similar systems would be impeded by affordability and postulated for more direct support to tackle it, such as subsidies or other financing schemes.
