Throughout the pandemic, Red Cross volunteers have worked on education initiatives regarding the pandemic, precautions that can be taken to mitigate the spread, and vaccines awareness. In addition, they have provided material resources to families severely impacted by the pandemic. In 2020, the French Agency for Development (AFD) partnered with the Rwandan Red Cross to develop preventative measures and treatment plans to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. The AFD received these funds through a 2 million Euro grant provided by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The grant was aimed to provide in-kind support for families around the country and assist with the Rwandan Red Cross's low resource supply. In October 2022, the Rwandan Red Cross partnered with the Saving Lives and Livelihoods Program (SLL) and the Africa Center for Disease Control. This partnership is aimed to combat the vaccine hesitancy that is currently taking place in parts of Rwanda.
