FRDP NYABIHU UPDATED RAP April 2020 REPUBLIC OF RWANDA PREPARED BY: MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND ANIMAL RESOURCES UPDATED BY: RWANDA TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND NYABIHU DISTRICT THROUGH JV CSC&EC AND FAIR CONSTRUCTION AND JV CRBC & NPD RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN FOR SELECTED FEEDER ROADS Feeder Roads Development Project (FRDP) (Pl26498, P158092) NYABIHU DISTRICT April, 2020 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Government of Rwanda (GoR) has received Additional Financing form Multi Donor Trust Funds (MDTF) for the Feeder Roads Development Project for rehabilitation of selected feeder roads in the six districts, namely Gatsibo, Nyagatare, Nyaruguru, Gakenke, Rutsiro and Nyabihu. In March 2017, the project prepared the Resettlement Action Plan for Feeder Roads rehabilitation in Nyabihu district, however with the new contract approach of Design Build and Maintain (DBM) where contractor has to conduct detailed design, it was found necessary to update the initial RAP to take into consideration of the detailed design conducted by the contractors that have been hired in June and September 2019. This updated RAP identified new and old PAPs, their affected assets/properties, their value and provides a strategy for resettlement compensation to ensure that the PAPs’ livelihoods are restored or improved. The rehabilitation of the feeder roads requires the preparation of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) to ensure that the planned activities are socially implemented in full compliance with Rwanda’s and the World Bank’s social policies and regulations. In this regards, MININFRA/FRDP has contracted CSC&EC in association with FAIR CONSTRUCTION Ltd; CHINA ROAD&BRIDGE CORPORATION (CRBC) in association with NPD Ltd. to update the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) of the selected feeder roads of Nyabihu District. The present RAP report presents the main findings from Nyabihu District. The objectives of this RAP were to provide a baseline with regards to the socio-economic conditions of PAPs after field investigation, identify the national and international legal tenure framework to abide with as well as the institutional arrangements, to assess the potential impacts and their mitigation mechanisms;. ; to estimate the cost necessary for compensation and to conduct public consultations with PAPs and other project stakeholders through raising awareness of the project and its consequence’s among the public in general The methodological approach used to achieve the objective of the assignment, include the desk review of existing reports on feeder roads in Rwanda and socio-economic data on Nyabihu district, the review of the existing national policies and legal instruments governing the resettlement compared to the Word Bank standards and requirements, among others. Furthermore, the Contractor conducted public participation and Consultation meetings and field visits informing the people about the upcoming project and also to gather needed data. The study findings revealed that the population living or having properties within 10.5 m right of way is 7,318 (3,876 females and 3,442 males) grouped into 1,444 families; About 52.3% of the affected community is literate, with mostly primary education level. Majority of the affected families (58.8%) have 4 to 6 people/ household and the vulnerable group represents 18.4% of the total affected families. 78% of the total affected 2 families own at least one type of livestock and survive from agriculture. All PAPs and other stakeholders consulted are supportive of the proposed project implementation. During the survey it was realized that a total of 100 households will be fully displaced. In these 100 HH with 447 PAPs in all these PAH are in the category of people who were living in houses closer to the roads with space at the backside in the same plots and they will build their new residential house if they don’t want to leave the neighborhood. Only 10 people will be displaced at a short distance in the settlement near their residence. To mitigate relocation issue, the project together with Nyabihu district will assist them finding new location in the selected settlement in villages or model villages where basics needs (electricity, water schools) are easy to be provided. The socio economic survey conducted in Nyabihu district has shown that 267 people in 167 households are vulnerable divided into 2 categories (1. very old and 2. Need special attention). The affected land is mainly a small portion of land that is partial/small size ranging between 6.4m. The biggest number of projects affected persons live on their land and own a bigger size of land. During consultation meetings, the majority of the PAPs requested/preferred cash compensation for the small piece of affected land, the remaining PAPs land will remain economically viable during and after road construction. For the PAHs to be displaced, it was discussed and agreed on with the PAHs on the three types of relocation; PAPs who are completely/fully losing their land, PAPs that will partially lose their land, and PAPs that will temporally loss land due to campsite installation and burrow pits. On loss of houses, the majority of the PAPs to be displaced preferred and requested for Self-relocation that is losing the house (s) but want to construct houses in their same plot since the remaining land is viable. Other PAPs mentioned having second house/alternative plots elsewhere and need cash compensation since there will be no need for construction of a new house. Relocation support will be provided (land tittle transfer given specific attention , disturbance allowance 5%, among others for self- construction and those people who will not be able to construct their houses in the same plots, the PIU will work/collaborate with the District to provide land in the model villages for PAPs to construct their new homes. 3 On The prevalence of GBV there no data available per district and there is a study to be conducted by the Gender Monitoring Office and the findings will be published The rehabilitation of six (6) prioritized feeder roads will need an average of 32.9 ha of additional land to have 10.5 m right of way, of which 80% is agricultural land to be compensated by cash payment as opted by the PAPs during consultation. During public consultation all the PAPs voted for cash payment as the partial land to be acquired is very small and leaving to somewhere else they don’t have activities is not beneficial and the government only owns forest and marshland considered restricted land The potential land acquisition is likely to lead to loss of 100 houses and 52m of live fence, 6.2 ha of crops and forests and approximately 10,193 trees, with at least 30cm of girth size, five (5) water valve chambers and Seven (7) water taps are also likely to be affected. All the affected properties will be compensated prior to the civil works. The resettlement and compensation of crops, trees, houses and land will be made as per Rwandan law and the World Bank’s policies (OP 4.12); the latter will prevail. MININFRA, MINECOFIN, MoE, RLMUA, MINAGRI, RTDA and NYABIHU District are key implementers of this RAP. Compensation of PAPs affected properties will be done before the beginning of any kind of civil works. Grievance redresses committees at the Subproject and road level will be established to supervise the safeguards compliance throughout the project period and resolve related issues raised by the project affected persons that may arise during or after the project works. A strong monitoring system will be put in place to receive and resolve PAPs issues raised. The estimated budget/cost of RAP for the interventions to improve the feeder roads in Nyabihu District for the six (6) prioritized roads is 960,913,569 FRW. The Cross- cutting issues like GBV, VAC and SEA as they affect human being are costless but there is mitigation measure of raising the awareness campaign by the local service provider as stated in the signed contract in Nyabihu district. The Government of Rwanda will disclose this RAP report locally and will authorize the World Bank to disclose it electronically through its Info Shop. In view of the RAP results, it could be concluded that the project will bring a lot of benefits to Nyabihu community. The resettlement impacts are within the manageable limits and can be mitigated with the proposed resettlement management plans. However, for the successful implementation of planned development activities, the timely implementation of the proposed mitigation measures is required. 4 BASIC DATA OF THE RAP S/Nº Description Impacts in Quantity 1.

Data were collected among 100 potato growers randomly selected in Kabatwa sector for the season 2014B. A well structured questionnaire was distributed in August 2014, and required information about the respondent’s identification, fertilizer use, potato production and related constraints. The paired-samples T-test was used for data analysis. The results show that fertilizers have positive effects on potato output. The results from the paired-samples t-test show that the difference between the average crop production after and the average crop production before the adoption of fertilizers in the study area (1,155 kgs) is statistically different from zero following that the corresponding p-value (labelled Sig. 2-tailed) is smaller than 0.05. Accordingly, there has been a statistically significant difference between the potato output level comparing before and after fertilizer use in the study area. It was recommended that the Government should enhance fertilizer accessibility through credit facility to farmers, facilitate access to proximity extension services and encourage farmers to group into cooperatives.

  • CBD Fifth National Report
    REPUBLIC OF RWANDA FIFTH NATIONAL REPORT TO THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY March, 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The preparation of the Fifth National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is one of the key obligations of the Parties to the Convention. It is an important communication tool for biodiversity planning, providing the analysis and monitoring necessary to inform decisions on the implementation of the convention. This report is structured in three major parts: i. An update of biodiversity status, trends, and threats and implications for human well-being; ii. National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), its implementation and the mainstreaming of biodiversity in different sectors; and iii. An analysis on how national actions are contributing to 2020 CBD Aichi Targets, and to the relevant 2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). PART 1: AN UPDATE OF BIODIVERSITY STATUS, TRENDS, AND THREATS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR HUMAN WELL-BEING This section comprises four main sub-sections including statements on the importance of biodiversity for the country; the main threats to biodiversity both in natural and agro-ecosystems; the major changes that have taken place in the status and trends of biodiversity; and the impacts of the changes in biodiversity for ecosystem services and the socio-economic and cultural implications of these impacts. Importance of biodiversity for the country’s economy: it has been demonstrated that the country’s economic prosperity depends on how natural capital is maintained. Now, in Rwanda, there is a good understanding of linkages between biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being, though the value of biodiversity is not yet reflected in country broader policies and incentive structures.

Visits were made to RAB in Kigali, Eastern provincial headquarters, districts, sectors and cells whereby key informant interviews were undertaken to understand the extension systems in Rwanda. In addition, various NGOs and extension service providers were also visited. The major areas of focus were: Extension technologies disseminated to farmers Community engagement Capacity and efficiency Linkage with other institutions Commercialization and marketing Local innovation Extension in Rwanda is under two ministries: MINAGRI (Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock) which sets policies and guidelines and MINALOC (Ministry of Local Government) which implements the policies. RAB (Rwanda Agriculture Board) is an institution under MINAGRI whose mission is to develop agriculture and animal husbandry through the use of modern methods in crop and animal production, research, agricultural extension, education and training of farmers in new technologies. At RAB there is the Deputy Director General who is in charge of extension, and works with officers in other fields, agronomy, livestock and forestry. The lowest level of extension is at the village (Umudugudu) level, here there are farmer promoters who coordinate extension activities.

  • Technical Efficiency and Its Determinants on Irish Potato Farming Among Small Holder Farmers in Trans-Nzoia County-Kenya
    International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science (IJRISS) |Volume III, Issue V, May 2019|ISSN 2454-6186 Technical Efficiency and Its Determinants on Irish Potato Farming among Small Holder Farmers in Trans-Nzoia County-Kenya Augustine Wafula Barasa1, Paul Okelo Odwori2, Josephine Barasa3, Steven Ochieng1 1Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, University of Eldoret, P. O. Box 1125-30100, Eldoret, Kenya, 2Department of Economics, University of Eldoret, P. O. Box 1125-30100, Eldoret, Kenya. 3Department of Soil Science, University of Eldoret, P. O. Box 1125-30100, Eldoret, Kenya. Abstract: - Increased pressure on land brought about by result of institutional failures, market constraints and limited increased population in the highlands of Western Kenya such as transfer and adoption of improved technologies by Trans Nzoia County has led to increased land fragmentation and smallholders farmers hence stalling agricultural productivity forced farmers to diversify their crops to alternative value chains and growth (Kassie, Teklewold, Jaleta, Mareny, 2015).This that are more profitable and take less time to mature. An low productivity has resulted in stagnated rural incomes, example of an innovation being promoted is the adoption of Irish potato as an alternative to maize farming. However, in fuelling a vicious cycle of poverty and food insecurity among determining farm productivity, onlyfew studies have looked at the local communities (Valbuena, Groot, Mukalama, Gérard, the efficiency of the Irish potato production. This has prompted B., & Tittonell, 2015).Thus, farmers need to diversify and this study to determine the technical efficiencies of smallholder seek for alternative crops that require less time to mature in farmers’ Irish potato production in the study area by providing order to achieve the expected high yields.
