Blank map of Rwanda

For a school project or a poster on Rwanda, the shape is the easy part to get wrong: hand-drawn outlines wobble, and screenshots come with the rest of a web page attached. This page gives you a clean one. Outline only is Rwanda on its own. With borders adds its 5 administrative areas. Each is a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF.

A project poster

Print the PDF on A4 or Letter and stick it in the middle of a sheet of card, then build the poster around it: a title above, five small boxes with notes for Eastern, Kigali, Northern, Southern and Western, and lines from each box to its area. Because the map carries no names, the writing on the poster is entirely the student's own. Keep the list on this page for checking spelling.

On screen

Putting the PNG on a slide gives you a map that takes the slide's colour, since the background is transparent. A short slide on Rwanda and its neighbours works well with the blank map of Uganda or the blank map of Burundi beside it: place the files side by side and label each country.

Which version

With only five areas, With borders is light, and it is the political blank map of Rwanda. It suits a labelling exercise, or a slide where each area carries a point. Outline only is better for a silhouette, a logo sketch or very young children, who can colour the whole shape and write one name across it.

A design file

Designers can take the SVG into Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, and recolour the areas one at a time. It scales to a banner or a wall display without blurring.
