Detailed Programmes of ActionProgramme 7: Green Industry and Private Sector DevelopmentResponsible Stakeholders (lead in bold)MINICOM, Rwanda Development Board (RDB), MININFRA, RNRA, MINIRENA, NLC, OGMR, REMA,MINAGRI, PSF, UNIDO-UNEP, World Bank GroupSummary of Programmes and ActionsRwanda is actively improving its investment climate by improving start-up and operating conditions forbusiness and industry, addressing water and energy requirements, and establishing special economic zones(SEZs) to attract foreign investment. Resource efficient and clean production has been introduced toindustry in Rwanda and needs to be scaled up to improve energy and water efficiency, thus reducingemissions and promoting resilience. SEZs should employ energy efficient technologies, water recycling andwaste management systems, and low carbon building design. Climate innovation centres (CICs) canpromote win-win scenarios by supporting investment in industries producing green technologies and thoseadopting green technology. infoDev has proposed setting up a CIC in Kigali. Support for the private sector isneeded to reduce industry emissions and build a local renewable energy sector. Action 1: Resource Efficient IndustriesThe Rwanda Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Centre (RRECPC) is a joint project of the Ministry ofTrade and Industry (MINICOM) and UNIDO-UNEP housed in the Private Sector Federation. Resourceefficiency and cleaner production methods can reduce business risk, directly translate into cost savings, andcould promote sector growth. To build efficient industries, Rwanda will establish a framework for reportingenergy and water use, setting energy intensity targets, investigating differentiated electricity tariffs thatpromote off-peak use, and developing guidelines, standards and support for clean production. Action 2: Greening the Special Economic Zone and provincial industrial parksRwanda is establishing a Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a world-class business and industrial park in Kigali,to attract foreign direct investment. It is also implementing provincial industrial parks in other urban centres.It is timely that a green approach is considered in preparation of the SEZ and industrial parks to encourageenergy and water efficiency; green site preparation, industrial and building design; and to investigate wastetreatment options. Rwanda will implement a green SEZ to realise ‘triple-win’ opportunities: cost savings inproduction and operation, environmental benefits, and climate resilience. These opportunities will helppromote investment in the site, incentivise good practice, and attract key industries that will supportRwanda’s development of a low carbon green economy. Action 3: Promoting Green TechnologiesClimate Innovation Centres assist developing countries to accelerate the deployment of low carbon andadaptive technologies, companies and industries. They link green small- and medium- enterprises (SMEs)with support organisations, incubators, centres of excellence, and multilateral programmes; identifyinstitutional and capacity gaps; and explore early stage climate finance opportunities. By hosting a ClimateInnovation Centre within the SEZ, Rwanda will benefit from the advisory and support services provided.Beyond these services, technology transfer is crucial to low carbon industrial growth. The government willwork with the UNEP-Risoe Technology Transfer Programme to identify priority sectors and technologiesspecific to Rwanda. The Private Sector Federation will also promote green technology industries byestablishing SME and private sector support programmes for technology awareness. Action 4: Building Carbon Trading CapacityThe Clean Development Mechanism and voluntary carbon markets offer innovative funding opportunities forthe private sector in renewable energy, energy efficiency, low carbon building and transport, forestry, andorganic waste management. To fulfill the highly technical requirements, Rwanda will establish a trainingprogramme for the private sector, linked to the CIC, on project design, baseline calculations, carbonaccounting, and monitoring, reporting and verification.68Government of Rwanda
