Inauguration of Rukumberi Green Village
The Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with the Rwanda Housing Authority and in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has inaugurated the Rukumberi Green Village in Ngoma District.
Rukumberi Village was constructed in 2014 to relocate 57 households from high risk zones around the sector. The main objective was to resettle households as a way to improve access to basic services including electricity, water, schooling, healthcare, waste collection and more.
Rukumberi Village was later selected to be improved with the green village components through the Green Economy Programme under the Ministry of Environment, and supported by UNDP.
The green village components implemented in Rukumberi Village include biogas, rainwater tanks and biodegradable waste collection centre. These elements aim to address environmental challenges and improve the wellbeing and livelihood of the community.
This approach of resettling households in Green Villages is part of a national effort to move households to safer locations that are more resilience to the impacts of climate change.
