By Dr. Jean Baptiste Nsengiyumva
Abstract
Rwanda economy is mostly dominated by informal sector, and majority of the population are employed in this sector at 89.5 percent of total employment. Further, the sector is confirmed a major source of employment. With the strike of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rwanda informal sector has negatively been affected in various ways following the closure of businesses.

From the desk review research, this policy brief has come up with key recommendations to revive the Rwanda informal economy in the post-COVID-19 crisis.
