  • Scaling up Off-Grid Solar Energy Access
    Scaling up off-grid solar energy access through improved understanding of customers’ needs, aspirations and energy use of decentralised (SMART) Solar Home Systems – a case study of BBOXX customers in Rwanda. Iwona Magdalena Bisaga Centre for Urban Sustainability and Resilience Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering Faculty of Engineering University College London Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 i Abstract In the fast-growing market of decentralised energy systems, stand-alone PV Solar Home Systems (SHSs) are among modern solutions which have quickly grown in numbers across the unelectrified parts of the world, substituting often polluting, expensive and inefficient sources like candles, kerosene or battery-powered torches used for lighting homes and businesses. Little research has been done to understand behavioural aspects of energy use among SHSs adopters. This case study aims to address this gap in the body of knowledge regarding energy use behaviour, needs and aspirations, focusing on SHSs users in Rwanda through both qualitative and quantitative research methods. It applies the Three-Dimensional Energy Profile framework to explore the needs, aspirations and energy use at a household level, with a recognition of differences among genders, different poverty groups and various system packages consisting of a diverse range of appliances. Time factor is considered to better understand whether and how needs and energy consumption change over time, demonstrating that energy use is dynamic and power consumption does not increase in a linear manner. Further findings reveal a substantial decrease in the use of candles, kerosene and batteries for lighting, with continued fuel stacking practices post-SHS adoption.

  • Development of a Policy Brief to Facilitate the Implementation of the Physical Activity/Sports
    DEVELOPMENT OF A POLICY BRIEF TO FACILITATE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY/SPORTS POLICY IN RWANDA Lela Mukaruzima Student No: 2959943 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Community and Health Sciences, University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Professor José M. Frantz May 2018 ABSTRACT The importance of health enhancing physical activity participation (HEPA) has always been emphasized globally, as one of the means to reduce the risk of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) occurrence. In Africa, it is more relevant currently, due to the growing burden of NCDs that is coupled with the existing encumbrance of communicable diseases. In Rwanda, specifically, there are limited national strategies to promote health-enhancing physical activity. Consequently, the level of physical activity among Rwandans, especially government office workers, is likely to diminish, which could possibly be attributed to the rapid urbanization that comes with lifestyle changes. Basically, most people tend to abandon the traditional labour-intensive activities, which are associated with high energy expenditure, to more sedentary activities. Therefore, the need to promote health enhancing physical activity participation is crucial. Physical activity participation is an intricate and multifaceted behaviour that may not be viewed from a linear perspective. This current study adopted a socio-ecological framework to assess the factors that influence Leisure Time Physical Activity (LTPA) among government employees in Kigali City. The study used an exploratory, sequential, mixed methods of qualitative and quantitative designs, in order to comprehensively explore and understand the research problem. Qualitatively, a Case study and exploratory design was used to collect data, specifically from the Rwanda Sport Policy and its implementing stakeholders.

  • FACTORS RELATED to SPORT PREFERENCES AMONG YOUTH with PHYSICAL DISABILITY in RWANDA Pierre BARAYAGWIZA
    FACTORS RELATED TO SPORT PREFERENCES AMONG YOUTH WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITY IN RWANDA Pierre BARAYAGWIZA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Physiotherapy, Faculty of Community and Health Sciences, University of the Western Cape SUPERVISOR: Prof. Julie PHILLIPS November 2011 KEYWORDS Disability sport Youth Physical disability Sport preference Sport enjoyment Sport commitment Parental encouragement Physical ability Challenges Rwanda i ABSTRACT Sport participation can play a vital role in enhancing life of youth with physical disabilities. This is because of the rehabilitative influence sport can have not only on the physical body but also on rehabilitating people with disability into society. A successful sport programme in which the youth with disabilities are involved should possibly respect youth‟s wishes regarding the preference of the sport. The Review of the literature revealed that little has been documented about the status of disability sport in developing countries. Given the psycho- social and physiological benefits of sport in everyone‟s life, including those with physical disabilities, there is a need for a study to document the status of sport of this sub-population in Rwanda. This study, therefore, aimed to identify the factors associated with sport preferences among youth with physical disabilities in Rwanda. A sequential mixed model design was used to collect data, specifically the sequential explanatory strategy. Data was collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire and a total number of 204 participants voluntarily answered the questionnaire. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among four (4) NPC staff to collect data regarding the challenges experienced by youth with physical disabilities with regard to sport preferences.

  • Complexities and Dangers of Remembering and Forgetting in Rwanda
    Olivier Nyirubugara Olivier Complexities and Dangers of Remembering and Forgetting in Rwanda Can a society, a culture, a country, be trapped by its own memories? The question is not easy to answer, but it would not be a bad idea to cautiously say: ‘It depends’. This book is about one society – Rwanda – and its culture, traditions, identities, and memories. More specifically, it discusses some of the ways in which ethnic identities and related memories constitute a deadly trap that needs to be torn apart if mass violence is to be eradicated in that country. It looks into everyday cultural practices Rwanda in Forgetting and Remembering such as child naming and oral traditions (myths and tales, proverbs, war poetry etc.) and into political practices that govern the ways in which citizens conceptualise the past. of Dangers and Complexities Rwanda was engulfed in a bloody war from 1990 until 1994, the last episode of which was a genocide that claimed about a million lives amongst the Tutsi minority. This book – the first in the Memory Traps series – provides a new understanding of how a seemingly quiet society can suddenly turn into a scene of the most horrible inter-ethnic crimes. It offers an analysis of the complexities and dangers resulting from the ways in which memories are managed both at a personal level and at a collective level. The main point is that Rwandans have become hostages of their memories of the long-gone and the recent past. The book shows how these memories follow ethnic Complexities and Dangers lines and lead to a state of cultural hypocrisy on the one hand, and to permanent conflict – either open and brutal, or latent and beneath the surface – on the other of Remembering and hand.
