It contributes to achieving the country’s objectives, to which Rwanda has committed itself in his Millennium Development Goals. Malnutrition in an individual or at the community level impacts negatively on the well-being of the individual as well as on the community’s development. To help people get out of this precarious situation and its consequences, the Rwandan government has implemented various strategies against malnutrition including the "Gira Inka" programme.
