The government has allocated Rwf 9 billion to address the issue of ravines in and around refugee camps, aiming to combat environmental degradation and improve living conditions for refugees and host communities.
In the Kigeme refugee camp in Nyamagabe district, runoff from the camp's infrastructure has caused deep ravines, posing safety risks and threatening local infrastructure.
The Ministry in charge of Disaster Management, through the Jya Mbere Project funded by the World Bank, has designated Rwf 9 billion to rehabilitate 40 ravines in and around refugee camps in Kirehe, Karongi, Gatsibo, Gisagara, Nyamagabe, and Gicumbi districts. Dusabe Bamurange, a refugee, highlighted the economic benefits of the rehabilitation work."The income I make from working at the site is crucial. We earn monthly wages that help address my family's needs," she said. Currently, 80 people from both refugee and host communities are involved in the rehabilitation efforts.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
