Rwandan Community Abroad
About our Diaspora
The Rwandan Community Abroad (RCA) is present across the world and constitutes a strategic pillar of Rwanda’s national development agenda. The Government of Rwanda (GoR) recognizes the diaspora as an integral component of the Nation, an essential partner whose contribution, when effectively mobilized, significantly advances socio-economic transformation and strengthens Rwanda’s global presence.
The expertise, professional experience, and networks accumulated by RCA members represent a valuable asset for the development of key sectors such as health, education, technology, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Beyond financial remittances, the diaspora contributes knowledge transfer, investment linkages, and strategic partnerships that directly support Rwanda’s Vision 2050 ambitions.
With the support of the Embassy of Rwanda in Hungary, Rwandan community associations have actively organized conventions, cultural events, conferences, and business forums aimed at promoting Rwandan culture, unity and reconciliation, while firmly countering genocide ideology. These initiatives reinforce national cohesion and strengthen Rwanda’s positive image abroad.
The Embassy therefore encourages all Rwandans living in Hungary who have not yet registered to do so through the official RCA online platform: www.rwandancommunityabroad.gov.rw, and to apply for a consular card. Registration facilitates access to consular services, strengthens community coordination, and ensures effective communication between the Embassy and the Rwandan community in Hungary.
