Donor Support – 1994

In order to help the repatriation program and with rebuilding the war-torn economy, representatives from about 40-donor governments met in Geneva on 2 August 1994, in which the UN was asking for US$434 million.2¹ It was not clear whether the donor countries met the request. Also, the poor funding stalled the UN genocide probe projects that required a deployment of human rights monitors across Rwanda.²
