Résumé

This Water Resources Management Strategy 2011-2015 of the Ministry of Natural Resources primarily seeks to operationalise the National Water Resources Management Policy, which was recently formulated by the Government. It will enhance stakeholder engagement (especially private sector participation) and improve financing and coordinated planning. National development towards a medium income country with a healthy and productive population, as laid out in Vision 2020 and medium term plans, such as the second being the Economic Development and Poverty reduction Strategy (EDPRS) 2007-2012, implies strong demands on the country’s water resources. Strategic exploration and productive utilisation of water resources such as through hydropower production, supplying clean water to all Rwandans, expanding irrigated agriculture, and supporting industrialisation, will increase considerably. To meet this demand sustainably, Rwanda will restore the productivity of its watersheds, control pollution and promote efficient use. It will also have to strengthen the synergy among the different sectors dependent on water resources. Rainwater harvesting is being piloted, a number of watershed rehabilitation projects are ongoing, and we have adopted a Sector-wide Approach (SWAp). Thus the main challenge of this strategy is meeting increasing multiple water demands, in the face of declining water quantity and quality, and inadequate governance framework.
