  • Assessing Risk in Times of Climate Change and Covid-19
    ASSESSING RISK IN TIMES OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND COVID-19 City region food system of Kigali, Rwanda â Urban expansion of Kigali (FAO, 2020) Introduction The city of Kigali Î Population of 1 132 686 (2015) Î Hosts more than 50 percent of urban population in Rwanda Î Urban growth rate of 3 percent Î More than 50 percent of the population under 25 years â Boundaries of the Kigali CRFS (FAO, 2020) The city region food system (CRFS) of Kigali In its preliminary definition, the city region of Kigali has been defined using two criteria: Î The administrative boundaries: The city region is defined by the administrative boundaries of the districts that are part of the city of Kigali as well as the neighbouring districts of Kamonyi, Rulindo, Bugesera, Rwamagana and Gicumbi. Î The food flows: Neighbouring districts have been selected based on food flows between them and the city of Kigali as most food consumed in the city region comes from these districts. The boundaries will be further refined following the assessment of the city region food system (CRFS) project. Key food commodities The Rwandan diet is based primarily on starchy foods and vegetables. In particular, the common diet consists of roots and tubers (Irish potato, sweet potato, cassava), fruits (plantains), legumes (bean and soybean), vegetables (cabbage, spinach, amaranth), and oil. High value products, such as, meat, dairy products and other fruits (oranges, pineapples, papaya, mango, avocado, banana, passion fruits and tree tomato), are consumed less frequently — only once or twice a week. Generally, banana, Irish and sweet potato, cassava, vegetables and beans make up the most important source of daily consumed calories across the entire Kigali city region.

  • RWANDA SFG3154 Public Disclosure Authorized
    REPUBLIC OF RWANDA SFG3154 Public Disclosure Authorized MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND ANIMAL RESOURCES RWANDA FEEDER ROAD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Public Disclosure Authorized FINAL REPORT Public Disclosure Authorized UPDATED ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK Public Disclosure Authorized February, 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Roads are one of the most economically important infrastructures in Rwanda, given the fact that more than 95% of the country’s international trade is handled by land and there are hardly any land alternatives (such as railway). Internal communication is also almost exclusively by road. Yet the terrain and the economy of Rwanda are such that developing roads is a very costly venture both financially and environmentally. Unfortunately, district and unclassified roads, that principally constitute the feeder roads network, are in dismal state and are major constraint for the mobility of the rural population. The Government and development partners are intensifying their support not only to agriculture but also to infrastructure development to reduce post-harvest loss and the high transport price in the project areas. In this regards, the Government of Rwanda launched the Rwanda Feeder Roads Development Project (RFRDP) to develop agricultural marketing roads. This project completed designs for the rehabilitation, upgrading and maintenance of 500 km of indicative feeder roads in 4 Districts, namely Rwamagana, Gisagara, Karongi and Nyamasheke. Furthermore, the Government applied for additional financing for the rehabilitation,

  • Integration of Household Water Filters with Community-Based Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion—A Process Evaluation and Assessment of Use Among Households in Rwanda
    sustainability Article Integration of Household Water Filters with Community-Based Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion—A Process Evaluation and Assessment of Use among Households in Rwanda Abigail Bradshaw 1 , Lambert Mugabo 2 , Alemayehu Gebremariam 3, Evan Thomas 1,* and Laura MacDonald 1 1 Mortenson Center in Global Engineering, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309, USA; [email protected] (A.B.); [email protected] (L.M.) 2 Amazi Yego Ltd., Kigali 20093, Rwanda; [email protected] 3 Catholic Relief Services, Kigali 20093, Rwanda; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Unsafe drinking water contributes to diarrheal disease and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in low-income contexts, especially among children under five years of age. Household- level water treatment interventions have previously been deployed in Rwanda to address microbial contamination of drinking water. In this paper, we describe an effort to integrate best practices regarding distribution and promotion of a household water filter with an on-going health behavior messaging program. We describe the implementation of this program and highlight key roles includ- ing the evaluators who secured overall funding and conducted a water quality and health impact trial, the promoters who were experts in the technology and behavioral messaging, and the implementers who were responsible for product distribution and education. In January 2019, 1023 LifeStraw Family Citation: Bradshaw, A.; Mugabo, L.; 2.0 household water filters were distributed in 30 villages in the Rwamagana District of Rwanda. Thomas, E.; MacDonald, L. Approximately a year after distribution, 99.5% of filters were present in the household, and water Integration of Household Water was observed in 95.1% of filters.
