The grant includes a fixed tranche of $17.64mil (already disbursed in 2015/2016) and $7.56mil variable tranche funding yet to be disbursed in November 2017. The $7.56mil variable tranche funding is linked to three specific indicators thus: Equity: Pre-Primary Gross Enrolment Rate (GER) increased from an average of 10% in 2014 to 17% by 2017 in the 22 poorest performing districts (defined as those that had GER of less than 17% in 2014); Efficiency: Education statistics 2016, disaggregated at district level, available by March 2017; Learning Outcomes: National sample based assessment of learning outcomes in literacy and numeracy at P2 and P3 conducted in 2016 and P6 conducted in 2017, used to inform teaching and learning. $1.26milion will be paid against the P2/P3 (once the report is submitted by October 2017) and the remaining $1.26million will be paid against P6 once is completed. To satisfy the ‘efficiency’ criterion under the GPE variable tranche funding requirements, this document attempts to describe Pre-Primary Gross Enrolment Rate (GER in the 22 poorest performing districts) and Education statistics 2016, disaggregated at district level for pre- primary, primary, secondary,TVET and Adult Literacy. SECTION 1: EQUITY INDICATOR: PRE-PRIMARY GROSS ENROLMENT RATE (GER) IN 22 POOREST PERFORMING DISTRICTS As indicated abaove that the GER in Pre-Primary increased from an average of 10% in 2014 to 18.5% by 2017 in the 22 poorest performing districts (defined as those that had GER of less than 17% in 2014). The table below shows the trend enrolment in 2016 and 2017 in 30 districts. Table 1.

The enrolment increased to 221,722 in 2017 from 185,666 in 2016. This represents an additional 36,056 students enrolled in 2017 vis-à-vis 2016, which is a 19.4% increase from 2016 to 2017. However, in Nyanza district enrolment declined from 7,533 in 2016 to 7,169 in 2017. Similarly, five districts- Kirehe, Bugesera,Nyagatare,Gakenke and Rulindo reported only marginal increases in the enrolment figures (the percentage changes were 1.2%, 2.5%, 0.1%,3.7% and 1.5% respectively). All other districts show a significant increase in the enrolment figures with Rutsiro topping the list with a percentage increase of 93.9% from 2016 to 2017. Page 4 of 36 Table 2.

  • 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.

In the aftermath of such extreme circumstances and human rights violations, societal healing should be conceptualized and approached based on a multisystemic framework that considers these three sectors—mental health, social cohesion, and livelihoods—as well as their interactions. The aims of the present study are twofold: (1) to review evidence on multisystemic healing initiatives already applied in Rwanda using fieldwork notes from interviews and focus groups, alongside relevant scholarly and gray literature, and (2) to propose a Alexandros Lordos, PhD, is a Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at the Department of Psychology of the University of Cyprus and the Special Advisor on Mental Health and Peacebuilding at Interpeace, Geneva, Switzerland.

  • 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.
