  • National Contingency Plan for Volcanic Eruption
    REPUBLIC OF RWANDA MINISTRY IN CHARGE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT (MINEMA) NATIONAL CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR VOLCANIC ERUPTION January, 2019 1 | P a g e FOREWORD Volcanic eruption is one of natural disasters that affect millions of people every year. Western part of Rwanda is located nearby a region prone to volcanic activity in Eastern DRC where two active volcanoes, Nyamulagira and Nyiragongo may enter into activity at any moment. In 2002, Nyiragongo Volcano erupted and estimated 400,000 people fled to Rwanda. Even though lava flow did not reach the Rwandan territory, impacts were significant to Rwanda due to a huge number of people who fled to our country. Disaster management focuses on effective preparedness for, and responds to various disasters and crises of all magnitudes, including volcanic eruption. Strengthening disaster preparedness is thus critical to save lives, protect livelihoods and strengthen recovery from disasters and crises. In order to avoid gaps that may exist in saving lives of affected people, a better integration of diverse practices of contingency planning for volcanic eruption is compulsory for emergency preparedness and response. Contingency planning ensures that we know what to do when a disaster strikes, and have the systems and tools to respond fast. It means anticipating the types of disasters we might face and knowing practically how to manage disasters when they do strike. The 2002 volcanic eruption and the mass movement of the people who fled to Rwanda is an experience from which lessons must be learned in order to be prepared to other eventual incidents, and a contingency plan for volcanic eruption is one of the best tools to be put in place.

  • Rwanda MINIMAL ADVANCEMENT
    Rwanda MINIMAL ADVANCEMENT In 2013, Rwanda made a minimal advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Government of Rwanda approved its National Policy for the Elimination of Child Labor, its 5-year Action Plan to Combat Child Labor, and its Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy, which includes child labor issues. The Government also participates in and implements several programs to combat the worst forms of child labor. However, children in Rwanda continue to engage in child labor in agriculture and in the worst forms of child labor in domestic service. In 2013, children were recruited, some of them forcibly, by the March 23 Movement (M23) for armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. M23 was an armed group based in the Democratic Republic of Congo that the Government of Rwanda supported, but that was disbanded in November 2013. Rwanda has received an assessment of minimal advancement, because the Government’s support for M23 undermined other advancements made during the year to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. I. PREVALENCE AND SECTORAL DISTRIBUTION OF CHILD LABOR Children in Rwanda are engaged in child labor in agriculture and in the worst forms of child labor in domestic service.

  • 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.

  • Improving Eye Care in Rwanda
    Lessons from the field Improving eye care in Rwanda Agnes Binagwaho,a Kirstin Scott,b Thomas Rosewall,c Graeme Mackenzie,d Gweneth Rehnborg,c Sjoerd Hannema,c Max Presente,e Piet Noe,f Wanjiku Mathenge,g John Nkurikiye,h Francois Habiyaremyea & Theophile Dushimea Problem Visual impairment affects nearly 285 million people worldwide. Although there has been much progress in combating the burden of visual impairment through initiatives such as VISION 2020, barriers to progress, especially in African countries, remain high. Approach The Rwandan Ministry of Health has formed partnerships with several nongovernmental organizations and has worked to integrate their efforts to prevent and treat visual impairment, including presbyopia. Local setting Rwanda, an eastern African country of approximately 11 million people. Relevant changes The Rwandan Ministry of Health developed a single national plan that allows key partners in vision care to coordinate more effectively in measuring eye disease, developing eye care infrastructure, building capacity, controlling disease, and delivering and evaluating services. Lessons learnt Collaboration between stakeholders under a single national plan has ensured that resources and efforts are complementary, optimizing the ability to provide eye care. Improved access to primary eye care and insurance coverage has increased demand for services at secondary and tertiary levels. A comprehensive strategy that includes prevention as well as a supply chain for glasses and lenses is needed. Introduction the cost of equipment and treatment can be an obstacle.4,8 Chal- lenges with data collection and measurement of the burden Visual impairment – both preventable and treatable – affects of visual impairment complicate efforts to generate support an estimated 285 million people globally.
