Rwanda

Rwanda - Construction of a market in Nyamata in the Bugesera region within the framework of the project for rural development

Gradual withdrawal

Only two projects were still being implemented in Rwanda in 2012, in the health and rural development sectors. In light of the winding down of the Bugesera project for integrated development, efforts were focused on income-generating and environmental protection activities, particularly within the field of irrigation in which Luxembourg’s programme is a pilot project.

Another pilot initiative within the context of the implementation of the strategic plan for the health sector for 2009-2012, was the consolidation of decentralisation through the establishment of a hospital master plan at the Rwamagana district hospital - a plan that can be rolled out to all the other district hospitals. A budget extension was granted in 2012 for the neonatal element of the project and the implementation of the hospital master plans for the country’s 40 district hospitals.
