Development of the agriculture sector is crucial to economic recovery in Rwanda, a need particularly urgent in the northeastern province of Umutara. Sub-projects will be carried out in the Kabare, Muvumba and Kahi districts, as well as the municipality of Umutara, and will include the follwing:

  • expansion and rehabilitation of four water supply conveyance systems;
  • rehabilitation or construction of valley dams;
  • drilling of cattle-watering points;
  • upgrading of around 177 km of feeder roads; and
  • provision of the tools, materials and knowledge farmers need to increase crop and livestock production.
On completion, water supply services for around 38,000 homes will be enhanced through the project.
