BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
The sector of Urbanization and Human Settlement encompasses social, economic and environmental
activities and interventions with a spatial reference in both urban and rural areas. As it is outlined in
Rwanda Vision 2050 and the National Strategy for Transformation (NST1) Rwanda targets to become
an upper middle-income country by 2035 and eventually a high income country by 2050, and both
documents recognize the pivotal role of urbanization and integrated rural settlement toward
achieving the targeted economic growth and sustainable development. It is in that regard that
urbanization and human settlement sector was established under the overall coordination by the
Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA) to coordinate and effectively manage Rwanda’s human
settlements. The sector coordinates implementation of enacted policy and legal frameworks, projects
and programs that aim to promote efficient land use, acceleration of urbanization and development of
compact and integrated rural settlements that provide economic opportunities to Rwandan Citizen.
The priorities of the Sector are aligned to the three thematic pillars of NST1 namely Economic
Transformation, Social Transformation and Transformational Governance. The Joint Sector Review
forum brings together multiple Sector Working Group (SWG) stakeholders such as public institutions,
private sector, development partners, academia and civil society organizations’ to engage in policy
dialogue and to ensure and enhance ownership, accountability and transparency in the
implementation and monitoring processes of the urbanization and human settlement development
priorities. The Backward Looking Joint Sector Review assesses the progress towards implementation
of the sector’s annual priorities while the Forward Looking Joint Sector Review discusses the
prioritized areas for the following fiscal year.
The 2022/2023 Forward Looking Joint Sector Review (FLJSR) has five (5) main objectives:

AREAS PRIORITIZED DURING PLANNING AND BUDGETING PROCESS FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023
The urbanization and human settlement sector strategic plan (2018-2024) has set out priorities in terms of the
policy actions that will be implemented toward achieving the sector targets in the course of NST 1
implementation from 2017- 2024. The policy actions and targets inform planning and budgeting process for
every fiscal year and this gives the basis to prioritize activities taking into account the available budget.
The last Backward Looking Sector Review meeting held in October 2021, recommended the following key areas
to be considered during planning and budgeting process of fiscal year 2022-2023:
Priority area 1: Urban Settlement Planning and Development
Enabling sustainable urban settlements requires adequate urban planning policy and regulations.
Rwanda aspires to achieve 35% rate of urbanisation by 2024 and 70% by 2050. Such high rate of
urbanization corresponds with high demand of basic infrastructure and services into settlements to
maintain the well-being of urban dwellers. This creates a critical need to strategize urban planning
frameworks and prioritizing urban development capital investments that aim to promote off-farm
employments as urban pull-factors.
In that regard, updating urban Master Plans for district towns and implementation of flagship projects
through provision of basic infrastructure and services are among the key priority areas of the sector
to sustain urban settlements. Table 1 below summarizes the Specific policy actions to be implemented
during the fiscal year 2022-2023 on this particular area:

RUDP II, a World Bank funded project is being implemented for 5
years since 2021. RUDP II will deliver basic infrastructure in six
secondary cities and upgrading of unplanned settlements and flood
risk management through restoration of urban wetlands in the city
of Kigali. In the coming FY 2022-23, RUDP II will focus on upgrading
works in Mpazi informal settlement development of storm water
master plan in Kigali and elaboration of detailed engineering designs
and Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for infrastructure
projects (Phase 4). In SCs RUDP II (Phase 3) will construct access
roads of 40.6km and 3.6km standalone drainage.

UEDI, a project funded by Enabel is on-going in the cities of Musanze,
Rubavu and Rwamagana. The project is expected to provide socialeconomic infrastructure to boost business in the beneficiary cities. By
end of the fiscal year 2022-2023, the scale up phase of the project will
review and update Rwamagana District Master plan, refurbish 5
urban roads of about 5Km and support construction of the modern
market (first phase) and the handcraft center. In Rubavu, UEDi will
construct one-way road on Market street with NMT lane, as well as
the 2nd phase of interconnecting roads in & around Agakiriro. In
Musanze, construction of youth promotion and talent center and an
agri-product market and food court.
UEDi is also piloting Land Readjustment in the 3 Districts. And
piloting and testing National Strategy for Public Art Development by
developing different arts in public spaces with the help of local
artists.

To ensure enforcement of the law, regular inspection is conducted in
all districts (15 districts per year) on compliance with the provisions
of the master plans, while for buildings in Category 4 & 5 are
inspected every year in all 30 districts, with findings shared to
district officials for improvement. In the FY 2022-23 compliance
inspection will be undertaken in all 30 districts. And the BPMIS
system will be upgraded to ensure maximum use & impact of the
system.
Priority area 2: Rural Settlement Planning and Development
Integrated Rural settlement is a basis to transform rural areas toward the modern households that is
the objective of NST1 under ‘’ Social Transformation Pillar’’. In rural areas, villages are developed as
part of the integrated development Program (IDP) with provision of socio-economic opportunities to
rural population. Under IDP, the Cross-sectoral interventions include feeder roads program, ICT
expansion to rural areas to link communities to markets, electrification programme, modern biomass
and other cooking methods, and full coverage of quality water and sanitation. The target of NST1 is to
reach 80% from 61.7% representing the current households living in integrated rural settlements.
5
On yearly basis, the Agency in charge of urban and rural settlement development with partnership of
local administrative entities prioritize at least one site to be developed as IDP model village. The
village accommodates rural households from scattered settlements where poor families, vulnerable
people and households living in environmental hazardous areas known as high risk zones are given
priority during the allocation of houses. In the fiscal year of 2022-2023, Another IDP model village will
be selected and prioritized to be inaugurated on liberation day, July 4th 2023. The site shall have
houses, basic infrastructure and services will be constructed to serve rural households living in
inadequate settlements.
Other efforts to promote livable, well-serviced and connected rural settlements include the plan to
resettle about 11,070 households in well planned settlements (10,065 HHs from scattered
settlements and 1,005 HHs from high risk zones). The database for HHs in scattered and HRZ
settlements will also be updated during the next FY. And delimitation of 48 rural settlements villages
in 4 districts as well as plot servicing with 429.115km of roads.
Priority area 3: Informal Settlement Upgrading
Urban upgrading as supported by the National Urban Upgrading Strategy (2017) is as an important
factor to support hubs of mixed use economic opportunities and ensuring that all urban inhabitants
have the necessary rights to vital infrastructure and services. Rwanda wishes to reduce the ratio of
urban informal settlement from 61.3 % to 52% by end of NST1 (2024). This target will be achieved
through upgrading of existing informal settlement as well as to devising strategic mechanisms to
prevent escalation of new informal settlements. The Government of Rwanda has adopted multiple
approaches for urban upgrading such as upgrading projects with provision of basic infrastructure and
services to improve people’s living conditions, land-readjustments/pooling to allow sufficient space
for housing redevelopment and provision of socio-economic facilities like commercial buildings, open
public spaces, health centers and schools among others.
The urban settlements upgrading priority actions considered for the planning and budgeting process
of the fiscal year 2022-2023 include:
-
Upgrading investments in six (6) Informal Settlement in the City of Kigali: Among the six, 4 sites
(Mpazi, Gatenga, Nyagatovu and Nyabisindu) covering approximately 384.5ha will be supported
under RUDP II and 2 sites (Kagugu and Rwezamenyo II extended) covering about 227ha will
benefit from AFD/EU funding. The six settlements will be provided with basic infrastructure and
services to improve the living conditions of residents by unlocking accessibility constraints,
reducing flood risks and providing socioeconomic opportunities in those areas. During FY 2022/23
RUDP will focus on upgrading works in Mpazi, while AFD/EU sites will undergo complementary
studies and detailed designs to inform the investment decision.
-
Piloting Land Readjustment in Rubavu, Musanze and Rwamagana: This will be undertaken
under UEDI support, by Enabel. Land readjustment intends to help the benefiting cities to grow in
6
planned manner. Under the pilot phase, every city shall have two sites of not less than 100ha each
covered, where irregular urban parcels are transformed into regular plots to allow better physical
development of the areas. Land readjustment approach has been prioritised as preventive
mechanism to avoid escalation of new informal settlements in these cities.
-
Community Rehousing and Neighborhood Upgrading Project at Mpazi sub-catchment area
(Mpazi project phase2): in partnership with CoK and SKAT, 67 DUs in 3 building blocks will be
completed and handed over. In total 4,200m2 (10%) of project target area (4ha) will be
transformed into safer and decent neighborhood, along with 80 masons trained in Rowlock Bond
construction technology. It is also intended to develop a guide for participatory neighborhood
transformation and related tools.
-
Leveraging technologies and expertise available in RSA (Rwanda Space Agency), MININFRA,
RHA & RLMUA to automatically monitor/detect sprouting informal settlements using spatial
information system. Once operational the system will add to the current used approach (physical
visits) to increase the level of efficiency in detecting and mitigating the evolution of unplanned
settlements.
Priority area 4: Housing Development
Housing development is a key milestone toward achieving the NST1 and Vision 2050 targets of
urbanization. The high rate of urbanization is highly correlated with an increase in housing demand.
However, the major concern is whether the existing stock of houses matches the lifestyle and
affordability of urban inhabitants, which makes access to adequate housing a top priority of the
urbanization sector. As has been revised (but not yet approved) at SSP mid-term review, the housing
projects with promising prospects are expected to avail 9,458DU by 2024. This target will be achieved
through partnerships of the private sector leading the way with facilitation by the Government.
Since the Government is committed to give infrastructure subsidies to affordable housing developers,
the budget for infrastructure is prioritized for every planning and budgeting cycle. In the fiscal year
of 2022-2023, the priority is given to pay arrears on infrastructure subsidies that have not been
cleared in this ending fiscal year of 2021/22. Besides that, an added emphasis will be to enhance the
RHFP (Rwanda Housing Finance Project) to facilitate delivery of massive affordable houses. In this
regard, an awareness campaign for the RHFP to support increased uptake of mortgage is planned to
start with this June to run for 2 years.
The quick-wins projects that are in pipeline to receive infrastructure support are summarized as
follows:

Continuous mobilization of private investors in CoK and Secondary Cities to invest in affordable
housing,
Under RHFP, operate and maintain BRD established online registration platform
(https://iwanjye.brd.rw/) for affordable housing applicants’ eligibility verification,
RSB in partnership with Enabel are developing standards for MiR Stones and Clay construction
materials and it is aimed to have final standards approved and published in the next FY.
SKAT/PROECCO to set up a Brick Industry Cluster in Rwamagana District to help increase
production of modern bricks.
Priority area 5: Sector capacity building
In collaboration with partners we will continue building technical capacities in areas of urbanization,
housing development and human settlement, project management and construction technology within
the sector as well as enhancing operational efficiency of the U-SWAP secretariat. The table below

Priority area 6: Government Assets Management
A Government Asset Management Policy and Framework adopted in 2015, provides the foundation
for life–cycle management of government assets, clarifies the responsibilities of stakeholders, as well
as guides the management of government office spaces. The agency in charge of building assets, RHA,
is responsible for government owned buildings across sectors and its key responsibilities include
planning and design, maintenance requirement forecast, new constructions, sale and disposal. This is
even more significant as the agency is taking over the responsibility of construction of all sectoral
government facilities including health, education and sports facilities among others.
Efficient and effective management of Government assets reduce rentals for public institutions
through increasing the square meters of work place and ensuring safety of building users by removing
asbestos materials from public buildings. It is SSP target to acquire 49,912 m2 to accommodate
renting public institutions and 822,092.8 m2 of asbestos materials to be removed from Government
buildings. During the next FY more public buildings will be constructed, the existing buildings
maintained, also payment of arrears on completed/ongoing constructions. The following are the
priorities for government assets;



Upgrading of Amahoro National Stadium, Paralympic stadium and Petit Stade,
Rehabilitation and upgrading of Huye Stadium,
Acquisition of two (2) public buildings to accommodate Government Institutions in Kigali,

Note: As Covid-19 pandemic weakened economic patterns in all sectors of the country’s economy,
Infrastructure and human settlement are among the sectors to get interventions in order to boost
economic growth towards recovery. Key priorities to respond to economic recovery include housing
development particularly affordable housing, continuous support of vulnerable families in rural areas
through relocating them into integrated and economic viable settlement (IDP Model villages), and
capital investment in hard infrastructure that will potentially deliver employment opportunities as
10
well as improve the livelihood of urban inhabitant through urban upgrading projects (RUDP II, UEDi,
AFD/EU Urban development project).
IV.
POLICY-RELATED STUDIES TO BE CONDUCTED IN 2022/23 FISCAL YEAR
In line with the sector priorities in FY 2022-2023, key analytical works and consultancy services will
be conducted to support effective delivery of the sector targets and their respective policy actions:
Figure 1. Policy-related analytical studies to be conducted
Review of the National Urbanization Policy (NUP,2015)
and Elaboration of the National Housing Strategy
•The reviewed NUP will provide general directives to implement the National Urbanization
Agenda as it is stipulated in the Vision 2050. The Comprehensive Housing Strategy will
unlock housing supply challenges toward massive delivery of housing units especially
affordable houses. Both documents are expected by mid-2023.
Study on Housing Market and low-cost materials &
efficient technologies for affordable housing
•The study will be financed through Rwanda Housing Finance Project (RHFP), managed by
BRD. The findings of housing market study will define the current and future patterns of
affordable housing market, demand and preferences in urban areas; and will recommend
appropriate financing mechanisms of affordable housing based on income capacities of
prospective buyers. The study will kick off this June, with the final report to be submitted
after 8months.
Development of National Sites and Services Strategy (NSSS)
•GoR is promoting sites and services program as one of home grown solutions to mitigate the
proliferation of informal settlements and effectively implement city master plans. The NSSS
will facilitate and guide development of urban land and infrastructure provision for
sustainable urban growth through technical guidelines to be used at the national level.

LATEST STATUS ON SDGs INDICATORS ALIGNED TO URBANIZATION AND
HUMAN SETTLEMENT SECTOR
The sustainable development goal aligned to urbanization and human settlement sector falls under
11th goal “Make Cities and Human Settlements Inclusive, Safe, Resilient and Sustainable”, and the
following indicators are supposed to be reported by the sector:
i.
Proportion of population living in cities that implement urban and regional development plans integrating
population projections and resource needs and by size of city: Current status is at 18.4% as reported by
the fifth integrated households living condition survey (EICV 5) of 2017.
ii. Proportion of Urban population living in informal settlements or inadequate housing: Current status
is at 61.3 % as per EICV 5.
iii. Average share of the built-up area of cities that is open space for public use for all: This indicator is
not yet reported in VNR but the study commissioned by MININFRA for monitoring this indicator
was conducted in ten (10) cities and findings demonstrate the current status at 19.89%. This
rate is against the NST1 target of 30%.
This report has been jointly agreed by MININFRA as the lead responsible institution in the
Urbanization and Human Settlement Sector and the World Bank its Co-Chair.
