Executive summary
The DDS for 2018/19-2023/24 presents a thorough status review of the district, all sectors
and crosscutting areas, identifies key challenges and outlines strategies to overcome these.
In particular, target objectives are set out, as outlined in Table 5 in the annex section. These
targets represent the key areas of progress to be achieved throughout the duration of the DDS
and will be measured under NST-1.
The DDS is elaborated on the basis of accomplishments of the previous DDP and EDPRS 2
(2013/14-2017/18) as a medium term strategy integrating global and regional planning
commitments including the sustainable development goals (SDGs), the EAC Vision 2050,
the Agenda 2063, and other commitments such as Paris agreement etc.
The DDS elaboration was conducted through a highly participatory and consultative process
involving the citizens, central and decentralized institutions, and development partners
including civil society and the private sector and the JADF members in general. This process
was overseen by the Ministry of finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN), working
closely with the Ministry of Local Government (MINALOC). The formulation of priorities
involved both bottom up and top down communication channels: Priorities were identified
from the citizens’ need assessment, through community assemblies (at Village, Cell, Sector
and District levels) and Joint Action Development Forums (JADFs), and were fed into
National level priorities developed by technical working groups (TWGs), Sector Working
Groups (SWGs) and the NST-1 priority areas. The process took into consideration with great
attention stakeholder participation and engagement, ambition and evidence based planning,
sense of urgency, and particularities of the District.
This strategy is expected to guide the District of Rwamagana to implement the NST-1
priorities and contribute to the implementation of international and regional mandates such
as SDGs, AU Agenda 63, and Paris Agreement and national context such as Green Growth
and Climate Resilience strategy (GGCRS, 2011) among others.
The main challenges that Rwamagana District are facing and need to be addressed are the
following: (1) Unmodernised agricultural practices (less than 30% of farmers engaged in
traditional agriculture); (2) Low levels of private sector involvement in District development
projects; (3) Low levels of urbanization n 6.3% of households living in urban areas); (4)
Insufficient infrastructures such as roads, water, electricity in rural and urban areas; (5) Un
developed tourism sector; (6) Insufficiency of social and economic infrastructure in
regrouped settlements associated with the road network in bad conditions; and (7) The
gender inequality in participation across all sectors and its data not disaggregated
The Vision of the District of Rwamagana is to increase the quality of life of all citizens
through rapid and sustainable economic growth and accelerated poverty reduction” with
overall target for poverty reduction from reduce poverty from 39.1% to 7.2%, and to
eradicate extreme poverty to less than 1%. As such it shares the Vision 2050: “ensuring high
standards of living for all Rwandans” with objectives of:
Increasing the number of farmers using modern agriculture technics up from 30% to
at least 60%, promoting climate-smart agriculture
Increasing production of cash crops (Coffee, Mulberry and horticulture) by 50%,
adopting crop varieties that are more resistant to climatic stress and modifying the
use of inputs (e.g., fertilizer and water)
5
Establish conducive infrastructures for tourism, business and skills development by
30% to create an environment of decent jobs
Increasing agro-processing units by 40%,
Promoting urbanization and rural settlement with 35% of households living in urban
areas and 85% living in Integrated Green Model Villages
Developing and maintaining water infrastructures and accessibility up to 100%, and
strengthening rainwater harvesting systems, collecting, storing and efficient use of
storm water especially during drought periods
Developing and upgrading energy infrastructures and accessibility up to 100% by
promoting renewable energy (solar, hydro, biogas)
Extension, upgrading and maintenance of road infrastructure network by 80 % in
Rural and urban areas.
Reducing the proportion of citizens living below poverty line from 25.4% to 15%
and extreme poverty from 8% to 3%
Increasing disease prevention and making accessible health services at community
level
Promoting access to quality education for all
To increase citizen satisfaction on the services delivered at local level by at least 90%
Working together with Private Sector and Development Partners to disseminate
agroforestry systems in crops areas in order to increase supply of woody biomass for
rural household cooking energy, improve soil fertility and erosion control, diversify
sources of revenues for farmers, improve overall parcel productivity, better
contribute to food security, improve resilience of agro-system to climate change,
using the existing Farmer Field School groups.
The main focus of this strategy is to deliver on (1) accelerating urbanization to facilitate
economic growth so that Rwamagana District could maximize the profits offered by its
proximity to the City of Kigali, (2) promoting business development through industrial
development, attracting and working closely with the private sector. (3) In agri-business, the
District is planning to increase agriculture and livestock quality, productivity and production
by promoting climate smart agriculture. Another emphasis is on youth employment as well
as social protection.
The implementation of this Strategy depends on the collaboration and participation of all
levels of the community and public institutions, and commitment of the District and JADF
to ensure the involvement of the private sector and other key stakeholders.
This strategy has set up a monitoring and evaluation system where under each priority; there
are a number of interventions and indicators with their targets. The District through annual
plans and Imihigo will ensure the implementation of this strategy (see the annex 1, the logical
framework).
The cost of funding Rwamagana DDS programs and actions for the period 2018/19 –
2023/24 is estimated at 92,022,065,514 Rwandan Francs. The Central government is
expected to be the source of the financing plus Rwamagana own/internal revenues as well
as the contribution of the private-sector and other partners.

1 Chapter 1: Introduction
1. General Introduction
In the course of the elaboration of the National Strategy for Transformation (NST1) and
Vision 2050, Districts are required to develop inclusive 6-years Development strategies that
will guide different actors in the District development over a medium term (2018/19-
2023/24). The elaboration of the District Development Strategies will generate sustainable
strategies that will be inspired by and align with the various national policies such as Vision
2020, Vision 2050, NST1 and other international commitments such as EAC Vision 2050,
Africa Agenda 2063, SDGs, and Paris Climate agreement.
To achieve this, the instrument for implementation of the Vision 2050 will be the National
Strategy for Transformation (NST1) which will integrate from global to regional
commitments such as (1) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), (2) the Africa Union
Agenda 2063 and its first 10-year implementation plan, aspiring an Africa that is integrated,
peaceful and prosperous, (3) the East African Community Vision 2050 focusing on job
creation and employment, (4) Paris agreement, where the parties to this agreement have
agreed to determine, plan and report their contribution to mitigate global warming. In
7
addition, NST1 also considers the manifesto of the RPF (the winning party in the Presidential
elections) and Presidential Pledges.
The figure below demonstrates the development planning framework of both Vision 2050
and NST 1 and the place of the Sector Strategic plans and District Development Strategies.

2 Overview of the District
2.1 District Profile
Geography
Rwamagana District is one of the seven Districts of the Eastern Province. It is bordered by
Gicumbi and Gatsibo Districts in the North, Kayonza District in the East, Bugesera and
Ngoma Districts in the South, Kicukiro and Gasabo Districts in the West. It is composed of
14 Sectors with a total surface area of 691.9 km2.

The hydrographic network of the District of Rwamagana belongs to the river AKAGERA
basin, the main tributary of Lake Victoria. The District has Lake MUGESERA in the South
and Lake MUHAZI in the North, two rivers SUMO and NYABARONGO and accounts for
some marshes gorged with water namely: Cyaruhogo, Bigezi, Kavura, Rwarugaju,
Nyabarongo, Mutukura, Ruhita, Cyimpima, Rwandenzi, Sumo which constitute a significant
potential for rice growing and horticultural production.
The main water body in Rwamagana District is Lake Muhazi shared with Kayonza, Gicumbi,
Gatsibo and Gasabo Districts. Lake Muhazi3 regulates the upstream part of the Nyabugogo
catchment with a catchment of 872 km2.
This District is subdivided into 2 level one catchments namely Nyabarongo lower and
Akagera upper catchments4.
Climate
The climate is a moderate tropical climate with four seasons (two dry and two wet seasons),
with a tendency to aridity. The rainfall increases during the months of April-May and
October-December of every year. Average annual precipitation is 1000mm while the
average temperature ranges between 19o C and 30o C with the minimum of 13oC and
maximum of 30o C sometimes exceeding, and less variability throughout the year. The
District has very fertile soils (Rwamagana DDP document, 2013).
Rwamagana District has been in recent years (2011, 2012) experiencing severe weather
characterized by windstorms associated with heavy rains causing a lot of damages,
destroying many houses, schools and especially agricultural crops such as banana
plantations: in 2011, 222 houses were damaged and destroyed, and 455 ha of crop lands were
affected while in 2012, 129 houses were destroyed, and in 2013, 177 houses were destroyed
and 1 person injured and 5 ha of cropland affected5. The causes and impacts of windstorms
in Rwamagana are mainly the flat topography, with little or no wind breaks such as trees
near the houses, schools and other type of infrastructure, and poor construction materials
with which buildings were made, poor roofing techniques, the low vegetation cover, and
lower implementation of the building code6.

Land use cover
According to the 2012 mapping7, a total of 5,459ha (on public and private lands) of
Rwamagana District were described as forested. This comprises 2.19% natural forests,
96.83% Eucalyptus forests and the rest was a mixture of a variety of plantation species
including Pinus patula, Callistris robusta, Grevillea robusta and Cuppressus lusitanica.
There is a total of 280 public plantation stands in a total area of 1,556.5 ha of the District8.
Small forests of less than 2 ha comprise a total of 128 stands but these occupy only 115ha
while 9 stands of forests bigger than 30 ha occupy an area of 436ha. The smaller forests are
poorly stocked (wood volume = 22.05m3/ha in small forest of less than 2ha) but the bigger
forests are relatively better stocked with total wood volume of 70.5m3/ha for forests greater
than 30ha. Exotic species are dominant in these public forests, where Eucalyptus forests
occupy 1,436.7 ha of the total forest area equivalent to 92% and these are the most degraded
forests.
The productivity of these forests is low mostly because they have been managed for a long
time without a plan. Public forest plantations which are not overexploited are too old to
grow, hence they have gradually became unproductive.
Rwamagana District has a total area of 682 km2 and the 2012 census gave the total population
as 313,461 (51% female and 49.0% male) and a population density of 460/km2.
About 53% are aged 19 years or younger. People aged 65 years and above make up 4%. The
majority of the population is young, with about 82% still under 40 years of age. The District
is inhabited by 51% female and 49% male. The literacy rate for the population above 15
years in Rwamagana District is 79.7% (EICV4).The average age of the Rwamagana
population is between 14 and 35 years (Rwanda Census, 2012).

9.7%10 (Rwanda Labor Force Survey - August 2017).
Given the close proximity to Kigali city, high rapid industrial development, attractive
business environment and the upgraded infrastructures in place, the District provides high
potential employment opportunities for its citizens in the next six years (2018-2024).
The extreme poverty index shows that the level of extreme poverty is 8.0% compared to
16.3% at Country level in 2013/14 while 25.4 % of the population are poor (EIVC4) .
Use of Pesticides: pesticides are used at 10.6% mainly cypermenthrine (29%), dimethoate
(15.9%), dithane (15.9%), dursiban (7.3%), ridomil (1.5) and other uncategorized pesticides
at 30.4%.
Livestock-Fish
Although the fishing has never been a major economic activity, the available data indicates
that Rwamagana is has got fishing areas, and in 2013, the fishing harvest was 1,438 tonnes,
although in 2008 the fishing harvest was at 3, 316 tonnes. The trend is not clear and the
report does not include the causes of this fluctuation. Moreover, an increase in fish harvests
does not indicate the health of fish stocks, but it points to overfishing.
Despite the abovementioned gap, Rwamagana District has got a positive environment for
agriculture: sufficient available land, sufficient water resources for irrigation, varieties of
crops, good climate etc.

Agriculture in this district is threatened by erosion: 3.8 % of moderate (Diffuse overland
flow erosion, Overland flow erosion, erosion by infiltration) and 96.2 % of low (Splash
erosion) erosion. Due to its terrain, there was no sign of Severe (Rill erosion, Gully erosion,
Mass movement/landslides) erosion. 73.1 % of plots are with anti-erosion activities while
26.9 % are not used mainly using cover plants and grasses (66%), mulching (8.2%), dicthes
(6.6%), bench terraces (6.6%), trees/wind breaks/shelter belt (3.7%), water drainage (3.4 %),
progressive terraces (3%), beds & ridges (2.3%). Inorganic fertilizers: 21.5% of plots in
Rwamagana use inorganic fertilizers while 78.5% do not use inorganic Fertilizers. DAP is
the most used (at 42.2%), followed by UREA (35%), NKP 17-17-17 (15.6%), NPK 20-10
(3.3%), KCL MOP (3.3%) and NPK25-5 (0.6%). Organic fertilizer is used in 45.8 % of plots
while 54.2 % of plots do not used organic fertizers. Only 6.9% are improved seeds while
93.2% of seeds are traditional seeds. The main source of improved seeds is RAB providing
70.2% of the seeds, 22% is coming from shops of improved seeds while 7.8 % comes from
recognized seed multipliers/ NGOs. This presents a challenge in the face of climate change
and resilience.
Although, Agriculture has been placed as the major source of income for most of the
District’s residents, the sector is still practiced in subsistence manner characterized by
availability of unexploited land, unskilled farmers with low access to finance, inappropriate
post-harvest handling, rain fed agriculture, and no clear strategies for value chain and
market-oriented agriculture.
In the face of Climate change, Agriculture sector is more prone to disease outbreaks, pests,
weed, droughts, and climate variability.
Irrigation would benefit optimally from the presence of lakes and rivers. The lakes present
an opportunity in fishing industry. The landscape and soil of Rwamagana, and the presence
of swampy and boggy areas, suitable for cultivation should be exploited.
The major challenges facing Livestock development is inadequate milk processing plants,
modern slaughter houses, hatchery plants and low exploration of fishing industry potential
of both lakes Muhazi and Mugesera.
According to labour force survey report (2017), the labour force participation rate in the
District is at 52.9% and employment rate is at 9.7% based on the new international standard
definitions of labor force and unemployment. The District has got many employment
opportunities that include availability of Lake Muhazi in North and Mugesera Lake in South
which strengthens its capacity to develop tourism, recreation, water transport and fish
farming and production. Additionally, given the close proximity to Kigali city, high rapid
industrial development, attractive business environment, and upgraded infrastructures in
place, the District provides high potential employment opportunities for its citizens in the
next six years (2018-2024). There is still need to upgrade the capacity of existing electric
energy lines (Monophase) that cannot meet energy demand of the growing businesses.
Despite the availability of tourism potentials in the District, there is a still inadequate
infrastructure such as roads around Lake Muhazi and Mugesera to support the utilization of
lakes as prospective tourist destinations.
14
Transport Sector
Important infrastructural assets (roads especially feeder roads in rural areas for agriculture
produce marketability), water and energy infrastructure are vital for business development.
In terms of greening the transport sector, 72.2 % use public transport regularly while 12.5 %
use public transport often, 13.1% use it sometimes. And 39.9% of households spend 20-50
minutes walking to the nearest public transport, 10.7% walk above 120 minutes, while 28.4%
walk between 0-19 minutes. Other means of transport are mainly use of bicycles at 34.1%
of households own bicycles while 2.9 own motorcycles.
According to District report, District road class one constructed: 17/65KM; District road
class two constructed: 151.6Km/308KM; Asphalt road constructed in urban areas: 2.5KM;
and phase one for construction of District Taxi Park is at 50%. Despite the current status of
road construction and rehabilitation, the District still face challenges related to in adequate
capacity for operation and maintenance of road infrastructures.
The level of satisfaction of people using public transport is still low, where 91% of people
using public transport claim not to be satisfied although 48.6% declared that the service has
been improving while 50.8 claimed that the service is still the same. Public private
partnership is very much encouraged in this area. It is also important to note that the progress
in improving transport through construction of different roads depend entirely on MINIFRA
and RTDA.
Energy Sector
In 2014/15, Rwamagana Solar Power Plant was installed with the capacity of 8.5 MW.
According to the data from the District, Electricity access is at 41.7% (35.7% on-grid and
6%) off-grid.
ECIV 4 report indicated that, Firewood is still the fuel used for cooking by the vast majority
of the rural population at 85%, followed by charcoal at 14.3%. No data available for the
extent to which households in Rwamagana District use biogas and biomass
Primary Fuel for lighting: The percentage of households using electricity as the main source
of energy for lighting is 26.7% in Rwamagana District, followed by batteries at 31.1%,
Lantern 21.7%, oil lamp at 7.6% and candle at 6.5% while Solar panel use is still at 1.7%.
In terms of access to clean water, 84,5% of New Households have access to clean water
while 93.7% of HHs in Rwamagana use improved drinking water sources mainly from
public standpipe (42.8%), protected spring (36.7%). Unimproved or other drinking water
sources are at small percentages like 0.7 % still using unprotected well, 0.5% using
unprotected spring and 4.2% using surface water. Additionally, traveling time to improved
water source is on average at 13.9 minutes.
In terms of sanitation, the percentage of households with access to improved sanitation
facilities such as flush toilet is at 0.6%, protected latrines is at 97.2%, unprotected latrines is
at 2.2%
15
In terms of Waste management facilities in Rwamagana, households methods of rubbish
disposal being used is at the following level: 1.7% use publicly managed refuse area, 1.6%
use rubbish collection service, 40.1% throw waste in bushes or fields, while 56.4% use
compost heap.
ICT
In terms of digital transformation, the number of citizens with smart phones in Rwamagana
is at 4.3%. There are 5 schools with internet connectivity, 4 health centres with internet
connectivity, 3 public places with free internet, while ICT centres in Sectors empowered to
meet ICT needs by citizens are currently 2 and 4 Cells administrative offices with internet.
However, important effort has to be made to increase forest area where possible, especially
in Sectors of Munyigina, Rubona, Gishari, Muhazi, Kigabiro and Munyaga where forest
cover is below 7%.
The crops and agroforestry areas (including scattered rural settlement integrated in
agriculture landscape) are covering roughly 85% of the total district land area.
The tree resources in crops and agroforestry lands are constituted by scattered trees and
woodlot. Dominant species are Grevillea robusta, Eucalyptus spp, Persea Americana
(avocado), Mangifera Indica (mango) and Ficus spp
In terms of afforestation and rehabilitation, Rwamagana has planted new private forests at
5932 ha, 3955 ha of new public forests, 420 ha of public forests rehabilitated. 87% of public
11

forest cover is well maintained while 60% of private forest cover is well maintained. 5240
ha of land is covered by agroforestry trees.
25% of mining quarry sites have been rehabilitated (2 out of 8) and 990 ha of the buffer zone
of both Muhazi and Mugezera lakes are protected. The implementation of District projects
with Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) is at 50% against 82% of EIA studies. There
is currently no catchment with functioning water resource management committees, nor
water users with permits (especially big water users).
In terms of improving uptake and usage of financial services, 34% of citizens in Rwamagana
District have bank accounts in financial banks and micro finances. 7 Commercial
banks operate in the District while 16 are microfinance institutions including 14 Umurenge
SACCOs with deposits of worth 2,505,981,633 Rfw accumulated by 102, 952 members
(48548 males and 54404 females)
According to EICV4, The District extreme poverty rate is at 8% while the population below
poverty line is 25.4%.
In terms of improving coverage of social protection programs, 1,745 eligible households
benefited from VUP- PW (958 females and 787 males headed households) while 418 (272
female and 146 male headed households) benefited from VUP direct support. Ubudehe
categorisation report indicates that:
- 596 people grouped in to 122 households are under Ubudehe category 4;
- 49,314 households with 220,261 people under Ubudehe category 3,

More than 12,679/15398 poor families have been given cows through one cow per poor
family program.
Health
In the context if health infrastructures, the District has 14 health centres and hosts the
Provincial hospital which is a key facility for health care services provision and 11 health
posts and 12 maternity units have been constructed.
District health report indicates the performance of the District against key health indicators
as follows;
Use of contraceptive modern methods is at 59.5%

Education facilities such as vocational training centres, technical secondary schools and 3
high learning institutions offer a possibility for skills development especially for youth that
is essential for entrepreneurship and service sector development. 138 pre-primary schools
have been established with 7764 pupils (3780 boys and 3984 girls) according to District
education statistics report for 2017. None of the pre- primary school has adaptive
infrastructures and materials for pupil with the disability.
In Primary education, the District has 77 schools (23 public, 30 government aided and 24
private schools). Pupils Classroom ratio is 82, while pupil per desk is 6. The total number of
primary pupils was 77340 (38559 boys and 38781 girls). The promotion rate in primary is
82% (80.4% for boys and 83.7% for girls). Repetition rate is at 10.3 % (11.2% for boys and
9.4% for girls) while dropout rate is at 7.7 % (8.4% for boys and 6.9% for girls).
In terms of computer use in primary schools, 87% of schools have computers. Ratio of pupil
per computer is 9 while percentage of schools of with internet connectivity is 32.5%.
In secondary education, the total number of schools registered in 2017 are 56(23 public, 23
government aided and 10 private schools). The Pupils Classroom ratio is 35 with 3 students
per desk. The total number of students is 19164(8320 boys and 10844 girls). In terms of
computer use, 79% of secondary schools have computers with the Ratio of students per
computer counted to 9. Percentage of schools with internet connectivity is 46%.
The District has been implementing strategies to scale up education for all which include
construction of classrooms under 9-12YBE program. In line with 12YBE program, the
District constructed 520 classrooms and 951 latrines. However, there are challenges related
to insufficient financial means to maintain and rehabilitate school infrastructures
accompanied by low involvement of private sector in establishment of vocational training
centres necessary for technical skills development especially for the youth.
The District has got 8 vocational training centres (2 public, 6 private). There is no
government aided VTC in the District. The registered number of trainees in 2017 was
510(320 boys and 190 girls. 63% 0f VTCs have computers and the ratio of student per
computer is 6%. The percentage of VTCs with internet connectivity is 38%.
18
In terms of public service delivery to citizens, at least 90% of services are delivered to
citizens are online, while 89.6 % of citizens are satisfied with the service delivery at local
levels. District decentralised entities have been empowered to ensure effective service
delivery to citizens. Staffs at sector and cell level were recruited and conducive
infrastructures to support delivery of service to the citizens constructed.
Despite the District efforts to build the capacity of local administrative entities, the District
is still challenged by in adequate capacity to recruit all required staff at sector and cell level,
rehabilitation and extension of cell administrative offices as well as provision of office
equipment for sector and cell offices.
The District has registered an increasing trend of revenues which is evidenced by 126%
increase of revenues collected in 2013-2014(667,077,445) to 1,512,319,052 Rfw collected
in 2017/2018. There are commendable efforts by the District to increase its revenue base
which will increase its auto financing capacity.
In terms of public financial management, the District audit opinion by auditor general’s audit
conducted for the fiscal year 2016/2017 is qualified opinion on financial statement and
advance opinion on compliance while implementation of audit recommendations is at 72%
for the fiscal year 2015/2016 fiscal.
The capacity of Non- Budget Agencies in terms of public finance management has been
improved through peer review and learning approach conducted by the District.

3.1. Methodology
The elaboration of the DDS involved a highly participatory planning process that involved
people at all levels at the District i.e. the citizens, the District officials, key stakeholders and
private sector among others. The participation of citizens was a prerequisite in order to make
sure that this DDS is by the people and for the people. The District undertook this process
of citizen’s need assessment, collecting all information that served as a backbone of the
DDS.
The Citizens’ need assessment was conducted by the District Authorities through the
Community outreach programs such as Umuganda in September 2017. The objectives of
this step are: to exchange information to better understand and consider citizens’ needs
during the DDS development, to ensure the public ownership of the DDS and to improve
cooperation between the local government and the citizen by building confidence and
transparency. The outputs from this assessment were mainly the identification of the needs
and problems which would be subsequently ranked into priorities.
34
35
Literature review
A desk review of District priorities collected during the citizens’ need assessment was
carried out; together with other relevant literature that gives an insight on the past and current
status of the District. From this, a district profile was developed in terms of economic, social,
governance and environmental aspects. In addition, an emphasis was made on the district
vulnerability to climate change. The documents that were consulted at the district level are:
- District Performance Reviews
- EICV 4
- DHS 5
- Imihigo achievements reports
- DDPs and Evaluation document
- LED strategy
- Secondary Cities guiding tools & developed documents
- District profile from the NISR website,
- MINECOFIN, NISR, MINALOC, LODA Websites
- District Master Plan
- District Potentialities report
- Rwanda National Water Resources Master Plan
- Nyabugogo catchment plan (2018-24)
- Presidential Pledges and commitments made during campaigns
In terms of harmonization and alignment, the DDS document delivers on the challenges and
issues captured in the NST1 and Sector Strategic Plans. Thus, the priorities and interventions
in the following sixteen sectors and seven crosscutting areas are reflected in this DDS
document:
1. Agriculture
2. Private sector Development & Youth Employment
3. Transport
4. Energy
5. Water and Sanitation
6. Urbanization and Rural Settlement
7. ICT
8. Environment and Natural Resources
9. Financial Sector Development
10. Social Protection
11. Health
12. Education
13. Governance and Decentralization
14. Justice, Reconciliation, Law and Order
15. Sport and Culture
16. Public Finance Management (PFM)
Crosscutting areas that were integrated into the DDS are the following:
1. Capacity Development
35
36
2. Regional integration
3. Gender and Family promotion
4. Environment and climate change
5. Disaster management
6. Disability and social inclusion
7. HIV/AIDS and non-communicable diseases and
All concerned actors and staff were approached during the elaboration process of this DDS
document at the District level and Province level to ensure harmonization. Those are: All
Directors at the District, Directors of Planning at Province level; District Executive
Committee; Commissions of the District Council, JADF Commission, Private Sector
Federation etc. Data were also collected using qualitative method of Focal Group discussions
and key stakeholders such as CNF, CNJ, PDWs, NYC; Civil Society, Rwamagana Forum &
Opinion Leaders were consulted.
Consultations with various District Officials, JADFs, Council Members, and Key
Stakeholders of the District, PSF, and various staff of the District were conducted. The
results from the citizen’s needs assessment were put together at the District level, and
priorities and interventions were selected. These priorities were brought to the
aforementioned review meetings and consultations. This facilitated the elaboration of key
milestones of the DDS such as M&E matrices. Consultations on possible strategies and
recommendations were made on regular basis especially with JADFs and PSF. A list of Key
Stakeholders and their area of intervention in the district was provided by the District
Authorities. The District Council strategic guidance was of paramount importance in
determining the priorities contained in this document.
Key weaknesses identified are: incapacity of the District for operation and maintenance of
the existing infrastructures for water and roads accompanied by low capacity of electric
energy (Mon0phase) that cannot meet energy needs of the growing businesses.
Furthermore poor road networks in urban areas supported by poor urban planning and
management has limited urbanization and hence business development in the District
especially in parts of Rwamagana town. Despite the tourism potentials in the District, there
is a still inadequate infrastructure such as roads around Lake Muhazi and Mugesera to
support the exploitation of lakes. Business infrastructure is still low such as markets and
handcraft production centres to facilitate the transition from agriculture to non-farm
activities.
Although agriculture has been placed as the major source of income for most of the District’s
residents, the sector is still practiced in a subsistence manner characterized by availability of
unexploited land, unskilled farmers with low access to finance, inappropriate post-harvest
handling, high dependency on rain fed agriculture, and lack/limited clear strategies for value
chain and market-oriented agriculture. The major challenges facing Livestock development
36
37
is inadequate milk processing plants, modern slaughterhouses, hatchery plants and low
production of fish in lakes of Muhazi and Mugesera.
The identified challenges were classified into four areas namely (i) Citizens’ participation,
(ii) Service Delivery, (iii) Local Economic Development, and (iv) Capacity Development.
The percentage of citizen’s satisfaction in their participation in preparation of District budget
and plans is still at 26.5% while the percentage of citizens’ satisfaction with their
participation in performance contracts (Imihigo) planning stands at 52.5%. The percentage
of court judgments executed within a period not more than 3 months is at 60% while the
percentage of citizens attending citizen assemblies (Inteko z’abaturage) is at ≤ 60%. The
percentage of citizens’ satisfaction with their financial contribution to Government programs
is still at ≤ 60%.
The use of online services is still low due to low level of community literacy in Information
Technology.
The offices of decentralized entities are still ill equipped and their conditions are to be
improved.

The vision of the Rwamagana District is to “Increase the quality of life of all citizens through
rapid and sustainable economic growth and accelerated poverty reduction” with overall
target for poverty reduction from 25.4% to 15% and extreme poverty from 8% to 3%.
Mission
Objectives
To reduce the proportion of citizens living below poverty line from 25.4% to 15%
and extreme poverty from 8% to 3%
To increase the number of farmers using modern agriculture technics up from 30%
to at least 60%
To increase production of cash crops (Coffee, Mulberry and horticulture) by 50%
To increase conducive infrastructures for tourism, business and skills development
by 30%
To increase agro-processing units by 40%
To promote urbanization and rural settlement with at least 35% of households living
in urban areas and 85% living in planned imidugudu sites.
To develop and maintain water infrastructures and accessibility up to 100%.
To develop and upgrade energy infrastructures and accessibility up to 100%
Extension, upgrading and maintenance of road infrastructure network by 80 % in
Rural and urban areas.
To increase disease prevention and make accessible health services at community

48
49
To increase the capacity of the District for operation and maintenance of the existing
infrastructures for water, roads accompanied by increasing the capacity of electric
energy that can meet energy demand of the growing businesses and attract more.
Invest in improving transport infrastructure: road networks in urban areas supported
by urban planning and management to facilitate urbanization and hence business
development in the District especially in parts of Rwamagana town.
Invest in tourism potentials in the District, through infrastructure such as roads
around Lake Muhazi and Mugesera to support the exploitation of lakes. Business
infrastructure is still low such as markets and handcraft production centers to
facilitate the transition from agriculture to non-farm activities
Invest more in Agriculture focusing on unexploited land, improving the knowledge
of unskilled farmers and opportunities to get access to finance, improve post-harvest
handling, increase irrigation and put in place strategies for value chain and market-
oriented agriculture development. Milk processing plants, modern slaughterhouse,
hatchery plants and production of fish in lake Muhazi and Mugesera are among other
priorities to improve economy, and livelihoods.
Development of the Industrial park infrastructure (such as roads, water and energy
infrastructure)
Mainstreaming climate resilience and low carbon economy in key sectors such as
agriculture, urbanization and rural settlement, promoting resource use efficiency, and
inclusivity
Important effort has to be made to increase forest area where possible, especially in
Sectors of Munyigina, Rubona, Gishari, Muhazi, Kigabiro and Munyaga where
forest cover is below 7%.

Capacity Building
Rwamagana District will identify organizational and individual capacity gaps and put in
place some priorities embedded under sectors such as Private sector development and Youth
empowerment, Agriculture, Justice, through trainings and coaching:
- The district will offer trainings to semi-skilled and unskilled youth, women and
PWDs under Massive short term vocational training (all sectors). The district will
provide to apprentices and short-term vocational trainee start up toolkits for self-
employment (all sectors)
- The district will mobilize and coach MSMEs and Businessmen to access the financial
institutions( all sectors)
- A number of interventions in Agriculture sector such as capacity development of

District will strive to build capacity by improving professionalization of livestock
farmers in order to increase the quality, production and productivity of their output
- In terms of enhancing peace and security, the district will strengthen capacity of
security organs for effective discharge of their functions so that they can continue to
play a constructive role in development programmes and projects where required.
In social protection, the district will continue to
o provide formal skills training to extremely poor individuals,
o to give TVET training to PwDs
The goal of the national gender policy is to promote gender equality and equity in Rwanda
through a clearly defined process for mainstreaming gender needs and concerns across all
sectors of development. Gender being one of the cross-cutting areas in the NST1, and an
aspiration of Government strategy to attain gender parity in all levels of development; DDS
97
98
should be designed, executed, monitored and evaluated, and coordinated in a way that
integration of a gender perspective into all priority sectors is clear.
Some of the gender and family promotion challenges identified include but not limited to:
low number of women and youth setting up and owning large and SMEs; little capacity and
access to productive jobs for youth and women; low number of women’s financial inclusion
; low participation of women involvement in cash crop production and their access to
agricultural credits; women adaptation capacity to climate change; gender digital divide and
attained parity in ICT access, usage and innovation; Girls’ enrolment in STEM related trades
in TVET; low access to reproductive health services and information (especially family
planning and adolescents sexual and reproductive health); Low level of graduation out of
extreme poverty especially for women; few Early Childhood Development to cell level;
Improved measures to address GBV (Prevention & response); and low decision-making
power of women at all levels. All these issues will be addressed at some extent during this
DDS through the following interventions across all sectors
98
99
o To link ECD with the ePW scheme to allow women to take part in productive
activities (considering women child caring in ECDs as part of ePW)
o Awareness raising on Laws, GBV forms, rights;
o Encourage legal marriage to protect men, women, and children’s rights
o Streamline Umugoroba w’ababyeyi and men inclusion;
o Launching the GBV free family certificates for the all deserving Rwandan
Modern Household (Itorero ry/umudugudu)
o Promote positive masculinity through Men Engage approach
o Enhance the partnership and role of FBOs, in preventing and managing
domestic conflict
o Reinforce community education by CHWs to promote the continuous use of
long-acting and permanent methods of FP services
o Male active involvement in the use of FP services
o Strengthen integration of family planning in post-natal care services
o Conduct anti-teenage pregnancy campaigns in primary and secondary
schools
o Reinforce counselling services in “Icyumba cy’umukobwa” at primary and
secondary school on adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health
o Promote positive sexual behaviors among adolescents girls through effective
communication between adults (parents/educators) and adolescent girls
through Umugoroba w’Ababyeyi and “Family Days”
o Create and expand Yego Centres at sector level with operational ASRH
services
o Enhancing youth friendly sexual and reproductive health services in health
centres
o Sensitization of adolescents girls to increase their demand for ASRH services
o Establish and strengthen ASRH clubs in secondary schools
o Community education and awareness on good nutrition practices and
complementary feeding practices
o Reinforce establishment of “kitchen gardens” at households levels
o Provide nutrition support to severely malnourished pregnant and lactating
women with micro-nutriments supplements
o Regularly monitoring overweight/ obesity among women in reproductive age
o Raising awareness on common signs and symptoms of anemia
o Sensitization of women on importance to check for the levels of hemoglobin
o Sensitization on a healthy diet that includes sources of iron
o Conduct behavior change communication activities to promote positive
sexual behaviors among male and female population
o Promote safe sex among male and female sex workers
o Expand access and promote utilization of STIs prevention and treatment
services to male and female population
o Establish the system to track male and female students drop out in primary
and secondary education (e.g. parents – teachers association, IT based record
of student’s mobility)

Health ST: Ensure availability, accessibility and affordability for NCD patients to
quality and modern medical laboratory and imaging technologies, treating
technology and medicines. The access rate will increase from 20% (2017) to 100%
(2024). And a number of awareness campaings are planned and will be conducted in
all sectors.
Health ST: Sustain the universal access to ARVs for all HIV+ pregnant and
breastfeeding women, newly diagnosed and older cases of HIV and undertake
community mobilization for testing and prevention. This will reduce HIV Incidence
rate from 1.3 % (2017) to 0.5 % (2024)
Rwanda’s economy continues to heavily depend on its environment and natural resources.
However, environmental degradation, pollution, unsustainable natural resources
management and climate change are major obstacles to addressing poverty and economic
development. MoE has selected 4 main sectors for E&CC mainstreaming: Agriculture,
Urbanization, Industries, Energy and these Priority Sectors are based on GGCRS and NDCs,
as well as the overarching global (SDGs, Paris Agreement) and regional Strategies (Agenda
2063, EAC 2050)
Priority has been given to Forestry, Integrated Water Resource Management, renewable
energy and Climate Change, etc.
In agriculture, farmers will continue to practice integrated pest management, the land
covered by erosion control measures such as new radical terraces, progressive
terraces, and rehabilitation of existing one, will be increased and the land covered by
Agro-forestry will also increase. Another intervention is to promote hillside
irrigation and small scale irrigation within an Integrated Water Resources
Management Framework. Marshlands will be rehabilitated, and there is a plan to
mobilise the population to use organic fertilizer etc. There are some management
actions that farmers might take to deal the impact of projected climatic changes on
their farming activities. These include: 1) adopting crop varieties that are more
resistant to climatic stress and modifying the use of inputs (e.g., fertilizer and water);
2) adopting improved practices for conserving and managing water; 3) altering the

Regional Integration
Regional integration can fast-track development and prosperity for individual nations. The
East African community integration is one of the examples of regional integration, with a
number of initiatives that has already yielded positive impacts such as free movement of
people, goods and services, customs union and joint infrastructure projects. One of the joint
projects that will touch also the District of Rwamagana is rolling out the Standard Gauge
Railways, a 2000km project which will further ease movement of goods and increase
regional connectivity. The benefits of the railway projects to these countries including
Rwanda are obvious. The railway netwok will contribute in reducing Rwanda’s landlocked
status, hence leading to a significant reduction of transport costs, linking the main port to
upcountry. In general, transportation is made easier, faster and cheaper; infrastructure is
built; jobs and revenues are created; and related economic projects are stimulated.

Civil society is one of the key features of good governance. Active and independent civil
society can provide an important framework for citizens to express and aggregate their
needs, concerns and demands, and offers a channel to engage them into the governance area.
More broadly, civil society is universally recognized as one of the key actors to hold public
institutions accountable (Rwanda Civil Society Development Barometer, 2015). During
implementation of DDS, Civil Society organizations will support the District to monitor
crucial elements of accountability and citizen participation in planning and budgeting
process, enhance information flows and participation of the population through established
and new channels
The role of the citizens in development is very vital. The population having been involved
in planning, they must also be involved in implementation of the planned activities for more
115
116
ownership and appropriation. The role of local leaders is key in this arena. Programs that
need mass action such as tree planting, land consolidation and public works will need high
level mobilization of the citizen if they are to participate and own the activities and programs.
This is very vital when it comes to sustainability of the planned projects, programs and
activities.
Across all planning process for DDS, Private sector have been consulted to ensure private
sector member’s participation and awareness about key District projects to be implemented
by the District in partnership with members of private sector. The purpose is to maximise
the participation in District development through implementation of the projects such as
modern markets, mini markets and industries that provide diverse employment opportunities
and creation of non-farm jobs especially for youth and women. Members of private sector
in the District and those living outside the District will be organised into umbrella named
’’Rwamagana Forum’’the forum brings together business men and women, politicians and
civil servants orginating from Rwamagana District with an objective of raising their
awareness and participation in development process of the District.

coordination and information sharing mechanism between stakeholders and partners. The
coordination role for the implementation of District Development Strategy will be
spearheaded by the District authority. The core functions will include among others annual
planning and general monitoring and evaluation of projects, decision making towards setting
priorities of program interventions as well as providing capacity building to the concerned
staff. The District will establish an information flow for the DDS implementation status
which will be descended to the community levels. District council will review the
implementation progress of the DDS twice a year and approve District annual priorities
aligned to the DDS priorities.
JADF as an umbrella for all partners operating in the District will be reviewing the progress
and support in implementation of the DDS. JADF will also enhance citizen participation and
inclusiveness in annual District and planning to ensure increased participation of citizens in
implementation of DDS.
5.2.3. Risk mitigation strategies
Irrespective of the nature of the risks, development can occur only by successfully
confronting risk and pursuing opportunity. Many strategies failure to be implemented as a
result of mismanaged risks. No less important, many opportunities are missed because
preparation for risk is insufficient and necessary risks are not taken—the “risk of inaction.”
It is therefore essential to shift from unplanned and ad hoc responses when crises occur to
proactive, systematic, and integrated risk management. As such, risk management can build
the capacity to reduce the development losses and improve the benefits that people may
experience while conducting their lives and pursuing development opportunities. Crises and
losses from mismanaged risks are costly, but so are the measures required to better prepare
for risks.
116
117
strategies to avoid losses and failure to reach the intended objectives. The planned risks for
DDS implementation will be managed with in the District units but with overall coordination
and monitoring by the management committee members. Throughout this process, District
stakeholders will be communicated and consulted for the implementation of risk mitigation
strategies. The anticipated risks for the DDS implementation are as follows:
External Risks Inadequate funding from High High Early mobilisation of funds

The implementation of this DDS requires a closed monitoring and evaluation system. This
will be performed by a joint action of different actors both internal and external. However,
the assessment or Monitoring and evaluation of level of implementation of DDSs' Projects
allow determining whether all Projects planned in DDSs are aligned to planned schedule of
planned activities, and it will assess whether projects of DDS are producing desired impacts.
In this regards, monitoring will help Rwamagana District as follows:
1. To learn from experiences to improve practices and activities in the future DDSs;
2. To have internal and external accountability of the resources used and the results
obtained, in spirit of Socio-transformation of District and entire Population;
5. Not only have these, but also, the evaluation of implementation assessed, as
systematically and objectively as possible, a completed projects (or a phase of an
ongoing project that has been completed). Evaluations appraise data and information
that inform strategic decisions, thus improving the project in the future DDSs.
a) At the end, the evaluations will help the District to draw conclusions about five main
aspects of the intervention: (i) Relevance, (ii) Effectiveness, (iii) Efficiency, (iv)
Impact, and (v) Sustainability
Information gathered in relation to these aspects during the monitoring process will provide
the basis for the evaluative analysis and the catch-up to the remaining projects to attain 2018-
2024 targets planned in Districts Development Strategies, and in NST1.
The process of monitoring and evaluating DDS implementation should include two
phases:
120
121
that are progressing well according to the plan, and those that are falling short, and
suggesting any actions or adjustments that may be needed for the plan to succeed.
A final evaluation after the plan is concluded to determine overall success and
impact. This stage is supposed to be conducted towards the end of June 2024.
All Units under implementation of related priorities will retrieve required information and
submit a clear report to the Executive Secretary. The later will consolidate this report
according to the progress of DDS and present it to the JADF and District council. This M&E
is chaired by the Mayor, Vice-Mayor in charge of Economic affairs and Executive secretary
of the district in their respective duties. Directors of different departments will make the
annual action plans and related performance contracts (Imihigo) and ensure execution in
their respective domains and Clusters. In addition, they will make a progress report and
achievement reports and submit them to the District Executive Secretary. This will permit
the determination of the effectiveness and efficiency of planned activities. The success of
this DDS is based on the commitment of all involved implementers, ie District’s Officials,
Community as beneficiaries and their internal and external stakeholders.
In this regards, Rwamagana District will put on place and institutionalize a Management
Review Process (MRP), and Measuring and Monitoring Process (M&MP) steps.
