Ltd. (INDIA) In Association With ALN Consultants Ltd (RWANDA), as Sub-Consultant April, 2018 MINAGRI / Rwanda Feeder Development Project Environmental and Social Impact Assessment / Environmental and Social Management Plan for indicative feeder in the District of Rutsiro, Rwanda - Project ID: P 126498 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Government of Rwanda (GoR) through the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) and different Development Partners are intensifying their support to agriculture and indicative feeder infrastructure development to minimize post-harvest loss and high transport cost across the country. In this regards, the GoR launched the Rwanda Indicative feeder Development Project (FRDP) to develop agricultural marketing roads. This project received financing from IDA to rehabilitate, upgrade and maintain 500 km of indicative feeder in Rwamagana, Gisagara, Karongi and Nyamasheke Districts. The GoR also applied for additional funding for the rehabilitation of 1200 km of indicative feeder in other six districts, namely Gatsibo, Nyagatare, Nyaruguru, Gakenke, Rutsiro and Nyabihu Districts. Rutsiro District is one of the 7 Districts that make the Western Province. It is made up of 13 sectors, themselves subdivided into 62 Cells and 483 villages. The District covers a surface area of 1,159 sq.km, with a population of 324,654 inhabitants1. The population density accounts for 281 inhab/sq.km, ranking the District fifth from bottom country-wide; density is 32% lower than the national average (415 inhab/sq.km) and 31% lower than the Western Province average (420 inhab/sq.km). The roads of the district are in poor condition. MINAGRI through FRDP prepared the feasibility report for 200.74 km of indicative feeder in the district of Rutsiro. The major activities associated with the indicative feeder in Rutsiro District include rehabilitation/upgrading ofcarriageway pavement with a standardised width, bridges and drainage work as well asmaintenance of rehabilitated infrastructures. The requirements of construction material have been identified along with the quarry and borrow area sites. The map showing different indicative feeder and sensitive receptors is presented below. 1Rwanda 4th Population and Housing Census, 2012 (NISR) ii | P a g e Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt Ltd (India) ALN Consultants Ltd (Rwanda) MINAGRI / Rwanda Feeder Development Project Environmental and Social Impact Assessment / Environmental and Social Management Plan for indicative feeder in the District of Rutsiro, Rwanda - Project ID: P 126498 The average carriageway width of the indicative feeder ranges from 4.1 to 6.2 m and will be upgraded to 6m width. The project plans to construct 340 culverts and bridges with a total length of 2,121 m and 28.25 km of drains. The requirements of construction materials have been identified along with the quarry and borrow area sites. Twelve (12) potential borrow areas were identified and are within or close to RoW. The quarry sites are outside the project site/ROW and have not yet identified. This identification will be done prior to construction and will be covered by the construction ESMP to be prepared and submitted by the contractor to the SPIU. The rehabilitation of the indicative feeder requires the preparation of an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment/ Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESIA/ESMP) to ensure that the planned activities are environmentally and socially implemented in full compliance with Rwanda’s and the World Bank’s environmental and social policies and regulations. In this regards, MINAGRI/FRDP hired Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt. Ltd. (ICT) in association with ALN Ltd to carry out an Environmental and Social Impacts Assessment (ESIA) study in indicative feeder of Nyagatare, Gatsibo, Nyaruguru, Nyabihu and Rutsiro Districts. The present report focuses on the main findings from Rutsiro District. iii | P a g e Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt Ltd (India) ALN Consultants Ltd (Rwanda) MINAGRI / Rwanda Feeder Development Project Environmental and Social Impact Assessment / Environmental and Social Management Plan for indicative feeder in the District of Rutsiro, Rwanda - Project ID: P 126498 The main objective of the assignment was to assist the Rwanda Indicative feeder Development Project (FRDP) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI), in conducting the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and corresponding Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMP) for indicative feeder in Rutsiro District. The methodology adopted for the preparation of this report includes the review of feasibility reports and detailed designs,national and international regulations related to environmental and social safeguards, district reports and field observations and measurements as well as discussions with project’s experts/ personnel. Public consultation meetings with different stakeholders were also conducted in the project area to explain the project and determine the beneficiaries’ opinions and concerns on the environmental impacts of the rehabilitation of indicative feeder in the District. The assessment by the Consultant showed that the District is a mountainous region characterized by steeper slopes, with an altitude above 1800m and a very rich and vast hydrographic network. The total number of households likely to be affected is 505 composed of 2,343 people including 1,235 women and 1,108 men. The findings from the ESIA study revealed that the indicative feeder project in Rutsiro District has both positive and negative impacts. The positive impacts include employment opportunity, skill transfer, enhanced economy in rural areas, increase in social and industrial activity, improved transport system, saving in travel time, reduction in accidents, better drainage system, reduction in fuel consumption and green house gases. Potential adverse impacts include loss of 31.14 ha of land including 12.04 ha for road widening and 19.1 ha for borrow areas, 733 trees and relocation of 85 houses; increase in erosion rates, soil pollution due to spill of oil, grease and other chemical/ material on road, disruption of natural drainage, water pollution due to construction in water front structures or disposal of waste; increase in water demand, increased roads embankment landslides, risks to health due to poor waste disposal and outside labour employment; increase in noise and air pollution in the vicinity of the construction sites, increased road congestion, encroachment to protected areas, loss of biodiversity and 41 water points. The above mentioned negative impacts are low to medium and can be mitigated. Adopting a proper waste management system at the site, designing and constructing properly the drainage pattern, provision of sanitary facilities, construction of erosion iv | P a g e Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt Ltd (India) ALN Consultants Ltd (Rwanda) MINAGRI / Rwanda Feeder Development Project Environmental and Social Impact Assessment / Environmental and Social Management Plan for indicative feeder in the District of Rutsiro, Rwanda - Project ID: P 126498 control measures in areas with high erosion risks, stabilizing 10.06 km of roads embankments with engineering measures and the remaining with vegetation, checkdams/ silt trap structures before discharging roadside runoff into receiving water bodies, using motorized equipments in good working conditions during daytime, regular spray of water during road construction whenever required, application of traffic management measures or preparing alternative roads in case of road closure, provision of protective equipments to workers, organizing awaireness campaigns for the prevention of communicable diseases, compensation for affected assets, etc. are among the measures to mitigate the potential adverse project impacts. The monitoring plan was set up to ensure the negative impacts are attenuated. The contractor and supervising firm will respectively implement the project and follow up its compliance with environmental and social safeguards under the direct supervision of MINAGRI/FRDP and Rutsiro District. RDB will approve the report while REMA will oversee the project implementation and environmental audit during the project implementation. Other stakeholders include MININFRA/RTDA, MINIRENA/RNRA, MINALOC, RSB and World Bank. Different stakeholders (local authorities, Community, Road Users and Cooperative and church leaders) were consulted to explain the project and give them the opportunity to express their views and concerns. Most of the consulted stakeholders are in favour of the project but requested for the compensation of their properties likely to be affected. The bills of quantities (BoQ) prepared for the cost of environmental and social management along with monitoring plans, are estimated at 655,402,000 Frw, including 607,552,000 Frw for ESMP and 47,850,000 Frw for environmental and social monitoring plans. The total ESIA cost is 2.5% of subproject cost. The Government of Rwanda will locally disclose this ESIA/ESMP report and will authorize

  • People's Perceptions on Conservation Opportunities and Challenges For
    People’s perceptions on conservation opportunities and challenges for Nyungwe and Mukura national parks, Rwanda Gloriose Umuziranengeab, Muhirwa Fabienac, Jean Bosco Nshimiyimanaa, and Majyambere Methoded a Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management, Protestant Institute of Arts and Social Sciences, Rwanda b PhD Candidate, University of Bamberg, Germany c PhD Candidate, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, University of Chinese Academy of Science, China d University of Rwanda, Rwanda Abstract This study assesses people’s perceptions of conservation opportunities and challenges. Research was conducted in Nyungwe and Mukura-Gishwati national parks, Rwanda. Data were collected through interviews, focus group discussions, and observational methods. Participants were selected purposively based on their living experience, societal role, and experience in conservation programs, and the data was analysed using qualitative methods. The findings indicate that the management of Nyungwe National Park has improved relationships between the local community and the Park. This is through the accommodation of local needs such as infrastructure (schools, health centres, and communal water tanks), and provision of income-generating activities. Also, there has been increased awareness in terms of park protection through a tourism revenue sharing scheme introduced in 2005. However, some cases of human-wildlife conflict, fire, deforestation, agricultural expansion, and wildlife hunting in Nyungwe National Park threatened conservation efforts. The relationship between Gishwati-Mukura National Park and the local communities has yet to be shaped; local communities currently receive no income or direct benefit from the Park. Threats such as mining activities, fodder cutting, firewood collection, and grazing were prevailing threats for Gishwati-Mukura National Park.

  • CBD Fifth National Report
    REPUBLIC OF RWANDA FIFTH NATIONAL REPORT TO THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY March, 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The preparation of the Fifth National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is one of the key obligations of the Parties to the Convention. It is an important communication tool for biodiversity planning, providing the analysis and monitoring necessary to inform decisions on the implementation of the convention. This report is structured in three major parts: i. An update of biodiversity status, trends, and threats and implications for human well-being; ii. National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), its implementation and the mainstreaming of biodiversity in different sectors; and iii. An analysis on how national actions are contributing to 2020 CBD Aichi Targets, and to the relevant 2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). PART 1: AN UPDATE OF BIODIVERSITY STATUS, TRENDS, AND THREATS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR HUMAN WELL-BEING This section comprises four main sub-sections including statements on the importance of biodiversity for the country; the main threats to biodiversity both in natural and agro-ecosystems; the major changes that have taken place in the status and trends of biodiversity; and the impacts of the changes in biodiversity for ecosystem services and the socio-economic and cultural implications of these impacts. Importance of biodiversity for the country’s economy: it has been demonstrated that the country’s economic prosperity depends on how natural capital is maintained. Now, in Rwanda, there is a good understanding of linkages between biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being, though the value of biodiversity is not yet reflected in country broader policies and incentive structures.
