Sustainable Waste Management System for Improved Local Economic Development in Rwandan Cities Waste Management Waste Sustainable waste management REGIONS OF CLIMATE ACTION system for improved local economic development in Rwandan cities Expected project CAPEX : 9’000’000 € Mandating Authority : Rwanda association of local government authorities (ralga) Summary As the agriculture contributes highly to the Rwandan economic output, the project named sustainable waste management for enhanced local economic development in Rwandan Cities consists of transforming waste to compost fertilizer to increase agriculture produc- tivity, reduce inorganic fertilizer import and create jobs from collection, transport, disposal and transformation. Location and population City Of Kigali, Rubavu District, Musanze District, Muhanga District, Huye District, Nyaga- tare Districtb And Rusizi Dis- trict, Rwanda, 3’567’469 inh. Social and environmental impact As regard the environment impact of the project, the improved collection system will reduce the quantity of untreated waste in the environment which occasionally con- taminate water source and spread diseases. The collection and transport of waste from informal settlements where live poor families will be improved hence living conditions in such place will become better. The project will target social equity as the compost produced will be affordable to all segment of the population (including the poor). The industry around waste management will increase jobs especially for the youth and women.

  • 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.
