I also undertake that the facts given in the Environment and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA)/Environmental and Social Management Plan(ESMP) for the three irrigation schemes in Ndego Sector Kayonza District of Eastern Province in Rwanda are factually correct to the best of our knowledge. Théogène HABAKUBAHO Managing Director Bureau for Engineering and Environmental Studies ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction Rwanda is undergoing massive economic development and it is imperative to have facilities that can support the country’s ambitions. In this framework, the Government of Rwanda received funds from International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) to implement Kayonza Irrigation and Integrated Watershed Management Project(KIIWP), in Kayonza district, Eastern Province in Rwanda. The Ndego project is part of a larger scale investment by GoR to develop up to 7000ha of irrigated land over four sites in Kayonza district. This is in supporting the government of Rwanda to achieve its strategic goals of economic transformation whose focus is to unlocking rural growth in order to increase agricultural production, increase beneficiary farmers’ income, reduce poverty, and improve living conditions. The project is implemented by Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) through Rwanda Agriculture Board (RAB). Though the proposed projects is expected to have more benefits on socio-economic development, some of the proposed activities such abstraction of water in lakes, construction of irrigation canals, water storages, land husbandry works and use of fertilizers may have negative impacts on receiving environment and local communities. Therefore, the implementation of the proposed projects should be done in full compliance the law on Environment of 2018, Ministerial Order of 2019 Ministerial Order establishing the list of projects that must undergo environmental impact assessment, instructions, requirements and procedures to conduct environmental impact assessment and General Guidelines and Procedures for Environmental Impact Assessment (2006). Further, the project should comply with IFAD’s Social Environmental and Climate Assessment Procedures (SECAP, 2017). To this effect, RAB contracted Bureau for Engineering and Environmental Studies (BESST LTD) to conduct an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) that includes an Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (ESMMP). The present ESIA is for Ndego irrigation schemes with a targeted irrigated area of around 2,000ha net divided into three blocks, Ihema, Kibare and Nasho. Objectives of the ESIA study The overall objective of the assignment is to develop an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the proposed Ndego irrigation schemes to ensure that the project is implemented in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner and in full compliance with national environmental regulations as well as best international Policies. Specific objectives of this ESIA are to: Contribute to the environmental and social design for the schemes, (ii) establish a baseline for biophysical, climatic conditions and socio-economic data, (iii) identify all potential adverse environmental and social impacts of the schemes and recommend measures for mitigation, and (iv) develop a comprehensive Environmental and Social Management and Monitoring Plan (ESMMP), which will include costs for mitigation; Approach and Methodology of the study To achieve the study objectives consultant was guides by terms of Reference prepared by Rwanda Agriculture Board (RAB) and approved by Rwanda Development Board(RDB) EIA department, National general guidelines on Environmental impacts assessment, as well as international policies especially IFAD’s Social Environmental and Climate Assessment Procedures (SECAP, 2017). The study adopted the following approach: (i) Preliminary assessment and review of preliminary design of the project, design studies, KIIWP Environmental and Social Management Framework(ESMF) and EIA reports of similar project, (ii) review of secondary data on baseline information (iii) review of policies and regulations, (iv) interviews with key stakeholders, and (v) field surveys at the project sites including socio-economic baseline, flora and fauna data collection. Spatial data ,site locations, land cover, proposed infrastructure were described fully with clear maps using Global Position System(GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) tools for a comprehensive understanding of the area and project activities and to make the task of planning and monitoring easier during the implementation of the mitigation measures for the identified impacts. Project location and description Ndego irrigation schemes are part of Kayonza Irrigation and Integrated Watershed Management Project (KIIWP) funded jointly by International Fund for Agriculture (IFAD) and Government of Rwanda. KIIWP will be implemented in the most drought-prone Sectors of Kayonza District in Eastern Province, Rwanda. The iii district is bordered to the north and north-west by Gatsibo District, Rwamagana District to the west, Ngoma District to the south-west and Kirehe District to the south. It shares its eastern border with Tanzania. The Ndego Schemes covered under this Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) are is located in Ndego sector, Kayonza District, in the Eastern Province of Rwanda. The Targeted irrigated area is around 2,000ha net divided into three blocks, block Ihema, block Kibare and block Nasho, or designated as s Block 1,2 and 3. The irrigation infrastructures include balancing storages, CPT, pipelines, sprinkler and drainage canals. In addition to the irrigation facilities, land husbandry works will be implemented in this area. The command area catchment for each block will be treated and it totals up 2,491.75 ha accounting for 55.25 % of the total project site. The major portion of the command area catchment (86.2%) is situated in 0-6% slope class while 6-16% slope category cover only 13.8% of the total catchment. This shows that the project sites are almost flat and will therefore be treated with appropriate biological measures while the land on 6-16% of the slope will be treated with water retention ditches (or anti-erosive trenches) supported with appropriate biological technologies. The command area (CA) is situated on the shores of the lakes and is under agricultural crops. Based on the soil and the slope maps for Ihema, Nasho and Kibare sub catchments, the slope of the area is dominantly characterised by gentle slopes ranging from 0 to 16%. The big part of CA (72.4%) is dominated by slopes varying between 0-6% while the rest ranges between 6 and 16% of slope. The construction of irrigation infrastructures and the implementation of land husbandry technologies are planned as the main activities of Ndego project. The irrigation facilities will only be installed in the command area while the command area catchment will remain rain fed. The land husbandry infrastructures will be executed both in CA and CAC. Land husbandry technologies were proposed based on the nature of the project watershed features of the command area catchment and the command area (ie slope category, soil depth). Access roads and post-harvest infrastructures are among other activities to be supported in Ndego area. Legal and regulatory framework The preparation, implementation, and implementation of Ndego irrigation schemes will comply with both national regulations and IFAD environmental and Social Policies. At national level, environmental regulations start with the Constitution of the Republic of Rwanda, promulgated in 2003 and revised in December 2015, which articulates the rights and responsibilities of all citizens and the role of the state regarding the environment by providing that every citizen is entitled to a healthy and satisfying environment and that very person has the duty to protect, safeguard and promote the environment. The Constitution recognizes ownership of property and every person’s right to private property. Consequently, private property, whether individually or collectively owned, is inviolable. However, the right to property may be overruled in the case of public interest,

Abstract Water is an indispensable natural resource that is often prodigiously threatened by anthropomorphic activities. This study evaluated the physicochemical properties of water and selected heavy metals in edible muscles of a piscivorous fish (Protopterus annectens) from Nyabarongo and Nyabugogo rivers of Rwanda. Edibility health risk was evaluated using the target hazard quotient method. Water samples were taken in triplicate from Ruliba station and Kirinda bridge on Nyabarongo river and Giticyinyoni on Nyabugogo river. Fish samples were obtained from the sampling stations on Nyabarongo river. All samples were analyzed following standard methods and analytical results indicated that the average temperature, pH, total dissolved solids and electrolytic conductivity of water from the rivers were within WHO acceptable limits.
