General Information Project Title: Kigali Bulk Water Project SAP Code: P-RW-E00-008 Country: Rwanda Division OPSD3 Project Category 2 1.1 Introduction: Rwanda is undergoing massive economic development and it is imperative to have infrastructure that can support the country’s ambitions. The Government of Rwanda through Water and Sanitation Corporation (WASAC Ltd) signed a Public- Private- Partnership (PPP) water project with Metito. Metito was established in the Middle East in 1958. Metito has built more than 3,000 water desalination and wastewater treatment plants since its inception. Metito’s current global project portfolio is in excess of USD 1 billion and over 2,200 employees. It provides water management solutions in emerging markets including Middle East, Africa and Asia (provided water treatment plants and desalination plants in Egypt, Sudan and Algeria). The Project company, Kigali Water Limited, has been established in Rwanda, owned by an investment vehicle, Kigali Water Mauritius Ltd (“InvestCo”) incorporated in Mauritius. The proposed Kigali Bulk Water Project Supply is designed to be a 40,000m3/day groundwater extraction from the Nyabarongo River near Kanzenze Bridge in Kanzenze Cell of Ntarama sector, Bugesera District. This scheme comprises a wellfield, water treatment plant (WTP) and associated infrastructure (transmission lines) to convey the water to new storage reservoirs.

    POLICY BRIEF Developing Muhanga District Findings from a Multidimensional Analysis

    I 2020 POLICY BRIEF Developing Muhanga District Findings from a Multidimensional Analysis SUMMARY Secondary cities matter a lot in the provision of a more balanced sustainable urban growth for the country. Stimulating urbanisation through the secondary city agenda is expected to create jobs and reduce poverty. These cities have the potential to act as poles of growth and relieve the pressure on Kigali, which currently dominates the Rwandan economy. With an eye on government target to achieve an urbanisation rate of 35% by 2024, IPAR-Rwanda has conducted an in-depth analysis of the opportunities and challenges which are faced by secondary cities. This policy brief aims at providing information and guiding deliberations on the development and strengthening of Muhanga, a district of 318,965 inhabitants, located in the Southern Province. It sets out an approach of workforce development, strategic planning and investments to create bottom-up growth and support for opportunity sectors to achieve this goal. Urbanised at a rate of 16% but with a high reliance on agriculture and service sectors, economic policy and infrastructure planning needs to be tailored to the urge to increase the market size of Muhanga. This can be done through rural-urban linkages and promoting urban density building on its strategic position as a hub for Kigali and the province and developing latent extractive and light manufacturing industries. A. Introduction: The vision for secondary cities1 The Government of Rwanda has put in place strong pressure on Kigali, the country’s economic hub. measures to plan and master its urbanisation for In order to unlock the potential of secondary cities, the future.

Abstract Water is an indispensable natural resource that is often prodigiously threatened by anthropomorphic activities. This study evaluated the physicochemical properties of water and selected heavy metals in edible muscles of a piscivorous fish (Protopterus annectens) from Nyabarongo and Nyabugogo rivers of Rwanda. Edibility health risk was evaluated using the target hazard quotient method. Water samples were taken in triplicate from Ruliba station and Kirinda bridge on Nyabarongo river and Giticyinyoni on Nyabugogo river. Fish samples were obtained from the sampling stations on Nyabarongo river. All samples were analyzed following standard methods and analytical results indicated that the average temperature, pH, total dissolved solids and electrolytic conductivity of water from the rivers were within WHO acceptable limits.

Assessment of soil erosion is a prominent tool in planning and conservation of soil and water resource ecosystems. The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) was applied to Nyabarongo River Catchment that drains about 8413.75 km2 (33%) of the total Rwanda coverage and a small part of the Southern Uganda (about 64.50 km2) using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing technologies.

The project is called the COSECSA Oxford Orthopaedic Link (COOL). More information is available at www.ndorms.ox.ac.uk/cool.php. PTC COURSE REPORT Venue: Kabgayi MUHANGA District Southern Province Rwanda Period of time: 26 th November to 28 th November 2014 Purpose of the visit: To train local health workers so that they may be able to handle trauma cases and adapt their knowledge and skills to their environment especially in KABGAYI Hospital. Executive summary: The instructors arrived at the venue one day before to prepare the course gathering the materials and organizing the course. On the first day we started a bit late (40min past to the time that had been fixed waiting the number of participants. The pre-course test was done and other forms were filled by participants. We started with 18people over 20 because others came after 4hours. Those 2 who came late were allowed to follow the course without waiting for certificates. The schedule was followed as planned. Presentations, technical skill and scenarios took place and successful. On the 2nd day we started on time but the hospital wanted all participants to receive Minister of Health who was visiting Kabgayi Hospital.
