Detailed Programmes of ActionProgramme 3: Integrated Water Resource ManagementResponsible Stakeholders (lead in bold)RNRA, MINIRENA, MININFRA, EWSA, REMA, MINALOC, MOHSummary of Programmes and ActionsRwanda is endowed with substantial freshwater resources. Regular rainfall patterns and minimalconsumption has, until now, not necessitated water storage, irrigation and monitoring. There is a clear gapof observed data and monitoring frameworks for Rwanda’s water and climate. The challenges of rapidpopulation growth, increased urbanisation and industry, environmental degradation and pollution are leadingto accelerated depletion and degradation of available water resources, while climate change is bringinguncertainty in future supply. Rwanda must consider downstream nations, primarily the beneficiaries of theKagera basin and riparian states of the Nile. Preserving environmental flows and protecting biodiversity willbecome increasingly difficult. Establishing a robust Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM)framework that can better understand current and future abstraction, and better plan for and respond toimpacts of climate change is crucial to securing the nation’s water resources. Action 1: Establish National Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) frameworkRwanda will prioritise establishing a robust national framework for Integrated Water Resource Management(IWRM) that establishes clear roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes for all water-relatedactivities across the relevant sectors for improved coordination. The national framework will be coordinatedby the Integrated Water Resources Management Department under the Rwanda Natural ResourcesAuthority. An Inter-Ministerial Council will facilitate participatory mainstreaming processes in water usesectors. The national framework for IWRM will be cascaded down to district and catchment levels. It willinclude compliance and enforcement, information access polices and custodial arrangements. Action 2: District and Community Based Catchment Management under National IWRM FrameworkAs part of the National Land Use Planning and IWRM framework, Rwanda will integrate management ofwater resources at the district and community levels, define catchment wide responsibilities, clustercatchment partner-districts according to sub-catchment regions, and improve understanding of water userswithin districts and catchments. These actions will ensure a common management and service deliveryframework. Water User Associations will also be established to ensure responsible and equitable water useat the community level. Action 3: Understanding the Water Balance: Monitoring, Modeling and Analysis, InformationManagementTo allow precise planning of water resources and improved allocation, Rwanda will develop water balancesat district and catchment levels, supported by hydrological models, improved rainfall monitoring, a betterunderstanding of agro-meteorology and water quality testing. The important national water datasets will beidentified to enable monitoring of the water balance, model abstraction and future demand. Furthermore,assessments will be undertaken of water resources under a range of climate change scenarios. Action 4: Water security through efficiency and conservationRwanda will establish a comprehensive National Water Security Plan to expand water storage and irrigationinfrastructure, rainwater harvesting, water conservation and water efficiency practices. The plan will bringtogether the national policies and strategies for irrigation, water supply and sanitation, IWRM and energy.Rwanda will investigate available water efficient use and water recycling technologies, and waterconservation practices for domestic, industrial and agricultural uses. Rwanda will mainstream water savingtechnologies and practices into the planning system, EIA/EMPs and building codes.60Government of Rwanda
