The District of Karongi is one of the 7 Districts that make the Western Province and is bordered by Rutsiro and Ngororero to the North, Muhanga and Ruhango districts to the East, Nyamasheke and Nyamagabe districts to the South and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Karongi District stretches over an area of 993 km2with a population of 331,571, composed of 175,684 females and 155,887 males, which represent a Sex Ratio of 89 and distributed into 77000 households. It is among the districts of Rwanda which has a high density of 334 persons per square kilometer and faces to the demographic growth with average annual growth rate of 1.7 %. The majority of the population of Karongi District is young, with 80% of the population aged less than 40 years old. About 54% of the population is aged 19 years or younger. People aged 65 years and above make up 5% of the population. The Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources is planning to develop feeder roads in the district as a way of increasing the agricultural production and access to the market. The planned total length under this phase is 75.25 km. The main objective of updating this resettlement Action Plan is to accommodate new changes made during the final design studies and to include compensation for land. The specific objectives are: To review and update the existing RAP by undertaking independent assessment of existing report which was developed based on the feasibility study to accommodate the land acquisition changes after the detailed design. To ensure that the RAP is in line with new laws, guidelines, policies and regulation of the Government of Rwanda (GoR) and the operation policies and safeguards measures of the World Bank (WB). The Project Safeguards Team reviewed the Karongi RAP report prepared and disclosed in November 2013 as well as the Karongi Design Report in July 2015 and carried out census for PAPs assets identification and valuation in October - November 2015.In the Karongi RAP report of November 2013, the actual numbers of people likely to be affected due to the development of the project were not identified. Based on review and census, the missing data was collected, compiled and analyzed during field studies. The participation of stakeholders has also been taken into consideration in formulating the approach and methodology for the study. The study was conducted in such a manner and procedure that it fulfills the requirements of Government of Rwanda, and the World Bank’s safeguard policies (OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement). The cost of the implementation of the resettlement management plan and monitoring programs were estimated and budgeted for. The Rwanda National Acts, Legislation and Laws were consulted with a view to ensure compliance with various requirements. Legislation and Laws were consulted with a view to ensure compliance with various requirements. F 1 Geography of Rwanda, Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia 3 | P a g e The cost of the interventions to improve the feeder roads is estimated during the feasibility study. The total estimated cost to improve 75.25 km of feeder roads amounts to US$ 6,816,881 million; the average cost per km amounts to US$ 92,495 USD. The RAP cost is estimated to 194,159,275 Frw, contingency inclusive, including monitoring cost. The details are as follows: Resettlement Action Plan :157,934,275 Frw Resettlement Action Plan Monitoring : 26,979,320 Frw Contingency rate (5%) : 9,245,680 Frw The RAP cost is 3.4% of project costs The widening of ROW will need 22.41 ha of additional land for the road rehabilitation. The loss of houses will be 38 in number, including one institutional building. The project will affect 1,021 households with a total population of 5,105 persons. The loss of various trees species at different growth stages will be 30,000.The resettlement and compensation of crops, trees, houses and other structures will be made as per the law of Rwanda and the safeguard policies of the World Bank (OP 4.12). The land to be acquired is private domain and will also be compensated for. It is worth to note that from 2010 most of the land in the country has been registered and we have observed two categories of landholders being property owners and tenant. No squatters or informal landholders were identified along selected roads.

  • The Surface Investigations of the Geothermal Resources of Rwanda Have Been Carried out Along Approximately the Last 30 Years
    Proceedings ARGeo-C5 2014 Arusha, Tanzania 2014 Geological and geothermal manifestation mapping in the Karisimbi prospect, Nyabihu District, North-western Rwanda Jean-Claude Ngaruye1 (1)Energy, Water and Sanitation Authority, P.O.BOX 537 KIGALI, Rwanda, Email: [email protected] Keywords: North-western Rwanda, East African Rift System, geological mapping, exploration drilling, geothermal ABSTRACT The surface investigations of the geothermal resources of Rwanda have been carried out along approximately the last 30 years. The investigations were carried out in two potential prospects which are: the young volcanic lava flows of the Virunga massif which are hosting active volcanoes in its western limb in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira volcanoes) and the Upper-Tertiary volcanic field of the Bugarama graben in the South- western part of Rwanda. In both domains, the geothermal manifestations are mainly hot springs, warm springs, gas- rich mineralized springs and travertine either along North-South faulted zones of the Virunga area or in the Bugarama graben. The Virunga geothermal domain was investigated in details and two exploration wells (of the three planned) were drilled. The Bugarama, Gisenyi and Kinigi prospects did not go beyond the reconnaissance phase. Sampling of cold waters, hot waters, soil gas, gasses and rock samples for their chemical analyses and interpretations, geophysical measurements using TEM, MT, passive seismicity etc. and finally the remote sensing-based geological investigations were used for the reconnaissance survey. The key outcome of these researches was that a geothermal resource may exist within the Virunga Massif and/or surroundings. A cross-check of different lithological units, tectonic features and different cones/craters was conducted from October 29th to November, 7th, 2012.

    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,
