 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Government of Rwanda adopted the Vision 2020 in 2000, with the main objective of
transforming Rwanda into a lower middle-income country by 2020. The Vision 2020 is being
implemented through the medium-term planning framework that began in 2002 with the first
Poverty Reduction Strategic Plan (PRSP I). This has since been followed by the Economic
Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS I) which covered the period of 2008-2012
and the Second Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS 2) which is
being implemented from 2013/14 to 2017/18.
The Vision 2020 is remaining with 2 years of implementation while the EDPRS 2 is entering its
final year. The National Leadership retreat of 2015 resolved that the Vision 2050 should be
elaborated. The concept note of the Vision 2050 presented at the same forum in 2016 at which a
target was set for Rwanda to become an upper middle income country by 2035 and a high income
country by 2050. In the same spirit the National Strategy for Transformation (NST 1) considered
as 7 Year Rwandan Government Program is elaborated and will cover the period from 2017/18 to
2023/24.
The District Development Strategy (DDS) elaboration was conducted through a highly
participatory and consultative process involving the citizens, central and decentralized institutions,
development partners, civil society and the private sector in Gatsibo district.
Moreover, DDS elaboration referred to the formulation of priorities, alignment with Sector
Strategies, Citizens’ and stakeholders’ engagement, Consolidation of District priorities, District
Performance Reviews, District Profiles and Districts priorities shared with Sectors.

These DDS will be implemented within the district by different institutions: public Institutions,
national and international NGOs and civil society. Before this implementation,
The formulation of Gatsibo District priorities has entailed both bottom up as well as top down
communication channels. The bottom up channel ensured that priorities from citizens are collected
to shape the current and future citizens’ needs in the long and medium term while the top down
channel ensured that the overarching national development ambitions are well understood,
contextualized and packaged in Gatsibo DDS. In order to consider the full alignment of DDS with
NST-1, all three pillars (Economic Transformation, Social Transformation and Transformational
Governance) as well as all priorities composing DDS were translated from the NST-1 without any
modification.
Gatsibo District Development Strategy for 2018/19-2023/24 presents a thorough status review of
the district in all sectors and cross-cutting areas, identified key strength, weaknesses, opportunities
and as well as threats that the District encountered and outlines strategies to overcome them. In
particular, targeted objectives are set out, as outlined in chapter 4 of this strategy”. These intended
outputs and their corresponding indicators represent the key areas of progress to be achieved
through the duration of the DDS. The objectives and targets set in DDS will help the District to
achieve its Vision and Mission, where vision and mission of District are:

5
 Vision

Main challenges addressed by DDS referring to the elaborated NST1 in each Pillars

1. Economic transformation pillar

In this pillar the following challenges were addressed:
o 50 % of households have very small land varying between 0 and 0.19 ha;
o Low use of agriculture inputs such as fertilizers, selected seeds and low level of livestock
productivity;
o Isolated habitat in the District and its implication on other sectors (84%);
o High pressure on forest due to human activities (charcoal, firewood and timber);

6
 o Lack of agro-processing plants

2. Social transformation pillar

In this pillar the following challenges were addressed:
o 28% of households use unimproved drinking water from surface water of river and lake,
and unprotected spring;
o High number of old primary classrooms to be rehabilitated;
o Insufficient of Technical Vocational Education Training Centre and laboratory and
libraries in secondary schools;
o 30.1 % of individuals aged 15 and above do not know how to read and write;

3. Transformational Governance Pillar

The main challenges that the district is facing which affect its development are the following:
o The insufficient skills and professional capacity for staff in technical, planning and decision
making positions across all District levels and in private sector.
o Low level of District’s own revenues collection;
o Lack of promotion of Values and Home grown solutions for Transformational Governance

 To address above mentioned challenges, some interventions were formulated in the DDS.

 CHAPTER I: GENERAL INTRODUCTION

1.1.Introduction
In the course of the elaboration of the National Strategy for Transformation (NST1) and Vision
2050, Districts are required to develop inclusive 6-years Development strategies that will guide
different actors in the District development over a medium term (2018/19-2023/24). The
elaboration of the District Development Strategies will generate sustainable strategies that will be
inspired by and align with the various national policies such as Vision 2020 and other international
mandates such as EAC Vision 2050, Africa Agenda 2063, SDGs, and Paris Climate agreement.

1.2.Context and rationale of elaboration of District Development Strategies (DDS)

All the 30 districts of Rwanda are required to develop a comprehensive Medium-Term
Development Strategy for 2018-2024 commonly known as DDS. It is a strategic document derived
from participative consultations and consideration of different regional and national plans and
strategies which will guide the concerned districts and their different partners/ actors in the
mentioned period.

Among the national documents on which the DDS is based on are the Vision 2020 with the main
objective for Rwanda to become a middle-income country. The vision has been made operational
by medium-term national Strategies which started by Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP I
2002-2007), the second was Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy EDPRS I
(2008-2012) and EDPRS II (2013-2018) with a priority given to accelerating growth, creating
employment and generating exports. One of the principles on which EDPRS 2 and the above
mentioned thematic areas have been built on is District-led development. Districts have been
involved in elaboration and implementation of EDPRS 2 through District Development Plans
(DDSs). DDSs together with sector strategic plans (SSPs) have been elaborated simultaneously to
ensure coherence among national planning documents.

Vision 2020 is remaining with less than 4 years of implementation while the EDPRS 2 is in its
final year. It is in this context that the Government of Rwanda has adopted the elaboration of the

9
Vision 2050 with an objective of transforming Rwanda into an upper middle income country by
2035 and a high income country by 2050 (MINECOFIN, 2016). It will focus on five priorities1:

1. High quality and standards of life

2. Developing Modern Infrastructure and livelihoods
3. Transformation for prosperity
4. Values for Vision 2050
5. International cooperation and positioning.

To achieve this, the instrument for implementation of the Vision 2050 will be the National Strategy
for Transformation (NST1) which will integrate from global to regional commitments such as (1)
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), (2) the Africa Union Agenda 2063 and its first 10-year
implementation plan, aspiring an Africa that is integrated, peaceful and prosperous, (3) the East
African Community Vision 2050 focusing on job creation and employment, (4) Paris agreement,
where the parties to this agreement have agreed to determine, plan and report their contribution to
mitigate global warming. In addition, NST1 also consider the manifesto of the RPF (the winning
party in the Presidential elections) and Presidential Pledges.

The figure below demonstrates the development planning framework of both Vision 2050 and
NST 1 and the place of the Sector Strategic plans and DDS.

It is in the aforementioned process that the Districts were required to develop comprehensive 6
years development strategies (DDS) that will guide actors in the District over the medium term.

1.2.The elaboration process of DDS

The Elaboration of the DDS was done in alignment with the National Strategy for Transformation
(NST1) in the framework of Pillars “Economic Transformation, Social Transformation and
Transformational Governance”; hence contributing to the achievement of the Vision 2020
remaining tasks as well as the implementation of the first four years of the Vision 2050, the target
being to achieve an upper-middle income by 2035 with an annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
per capita income of 4,035$ and High-income Country by 2050 with 12,476$ of GDP per capita.
The elaboration of the DDS was a fully participatory process since the beginning, where awareness
and ownership of it was raised among all the District actors and stakeholders composed of District
authorities, staff, District Council, JADF, the Private Sector, Civil Society and the Community
from the lowest level. Throughout the process, primary and secondary data collection methods
were used so as to make the document more comprehensive and feasible. In this regard, secondary
data was collected through desk review of existing information extracted from different documents
such as Gatsibo DDP 2013-18, LED Strategy, Gatsibo District Potentialities, Gatsibo City Master

11
Plan, Local Community Priorities; together with National Strategies such as the NST1, Vision
2020, Vision 2050, National Road Map for Green Secondary Cities, as well as the regional and
global commitments. On the other hand, primary data was collected through an iterative process
of awareness creation, consultative meeting sessions, training workshops with the District involved
actors and stakeholders.
The elaboration process of DDS has been conducted through a highly participatory and
consultative process involving citizens, decentralized administrative leaders and employees as
well as all stakeholders operating in Gatsibo District.
Other documents were also reviewed in order to collect quantitative data and qualitative data were
collected using both primary and secondary data collection techniques EICV4, RDHS 2014/2015
were consulted and also the Citizen’s consultations were undertaken to collect primary data related
to District priority actions.

1.3. Structure of the Gatsibo District Development Strategies (DDS)

The DDS is constituted with six chapters as follow:

Chapter 1: is related to the introduction of DDS describing the context and purpose of its
elaboration as well as the process in order to come up with a comprehensive DDS.

Chapter 2: concerns the overview of Gatsibo District. It presents the District profile with the
geographical aspects and socio-economic environment. The chapter portrays the overview of
Gatsibo District achievements during DDP implementation in 16 sectors and depicts key district

DDS has defined the results chain in three pillars (economic and social transformation and
transformational governance). It presents a logical framework considering all pillars and
priorities defined in NST-1 and consider all crosscutting areas.

12
Chapter 5: describes the implementation of DDS with a clear sequencing of interventions, DDS
implementation strategy, role and responsibilities of partners and stakeholders. In addition, the
chapter presents the coordination mechanisms and information sharing during DDS
implementation, a description of risks mitigation strategies as well as communication and
marketing strategies of DDS.

Chapter 6: presents the monitoring and evaluation of DDS with a clear management of
information and monitoring framework. It defines the mechanisms to be used during the
implementation of DDS as well as the evaluation mechanism so that tracking the progress will be
easy and fruitful.

Chapter 7: presents the cost and financing process of DDS. The total cost for implementing DDS
is evaluated approximately at One Hundred Seven Billions Twenty Millions Two Hundred
Thousands Rwandan francs (107,020,200,000.Frw).encompassing the cost for Economic and
Social Transformation and Transformational Governance.

allies. The District is located in the granite low valley whose average altitude is 1550m spread on
the plateau and the savannah of the Eastern part of the country. This kind of topographical layout
constitutes an important potentiality for modern and mechanized agricultural farming. This relief
offers to Gatsibo a vocation agro pastoral and tourism5

South-West of the District. The termite mounds cover the biggest part of the District.

The combined action of the lithosphere (rock and roll mother granite), atmosphere (rains), and
biosphere (man and the other living beings) developed deep grounds drank of which the fertility
by the drought of the more stressed climate by drying out winds blowing East. Thus the
xérokaolisols in the party remains the ground type the more dominating. To the surface, they
identify themselves by the narrowness of to bush-hammer humus-bearing brought by the grassy
savannah.

The grounds of Gatsibo District contain Minerals such as the Cassiterite, the Colombo-tantalite,
the wolfram, etc. they also contain ores of construction materials like the gravel, sand, hardcore,
clay, etc.

2.2.5. The flora

The flora of District Gatsibo is characterized by a vegetation cover of steppe wooded. Its hills are
covered by short grasses as well as small trees and shrubs. Concerning afforestation, the District
of Gatsibo has access to Eucalyptus and Pinus trees that are generally as a result of afforestation.
Agro-forest is also predominant in the north – west region of the District where coffee
plantations are the major cash crops6.

2.2.6. The fauna

As for the wildlife, the District Gatsibo has access to an inheritance of the former domain of
hunting from Akagera National Park with diversified birds notably the rapacious, ones are sparrow
hawks, the owls, the sparrows, the guinea fowls, the partridges, the heroes, the ibis, the crows, the
prick beef, etc. Also the Hares, the wild boars, the monkeys and other rodents live in the hills
where there are small natural shrubs. The hippopotamus are met in the river Umuvumba and in the

6 Gatsibo District potentialities (LODA 2013)

17
lake Muhazi. The crocodiles exist also in certain valleys dams, especially in Rwimbogo Valley
Dam. The antelopes, the buffalo and other ruminating animals occupying the Akagera National
Park.

2.2.7. Socio-Economic Environment

Gatsibo District is a rural District in the Eastern Province whose economy is principally dominated
by Primary, Secondary and Tertiary sectors. These sectors are not yet modernized and hence the
productions and productivity are still very low. Many challenges observed these Sectors constitute
barriers to District’s Development, consequently contribute to Poverty.

Therefore, the economic activities of Gatsibo District is divided into 3 main sectors depends on
what are predominant in term of productions and their occupants, which are Primary, Secondary
and tertiary Sectors.

2.2.8. The Primary Sector

This sector in Gatsibo District is characterized by activities associated with primary economic
activity includes agriculture both subsistence and commercial, mining, forestry, farming &
grazing, Fishing and quarrying.

2.2.9. Secondary Sector

The secondary sector includes those economic sectors that produce a finished, usable product
production and construction. This sector generally takes the output of the primary sector and
manufactures finished goods or where they are suitable for use by other businesses, for export, or
sale to domestic consumers. This sector is often divided into light industry and heavy industry.
Many of these industries consume large quantities of energy and require factories and machinery
to convert the raw materials into goods and products. They also produce waste materials and waste
heat that may pose environmental problems or cause pollution. The secondary sector supports both
the primary and tertiary sector.
In Gatsibo District still has a long journey to make this sector, since there is insignificant number
of agro-processing for transforming agriculture produce. Only coffee washing stations well
installed and functioning, and One maize processing unit initiative not yet operationalized, while

18
leather unit into different equipment is at the assembling stage not yet be transformed to a factory
can make animal skin into finished products.
Agro-processors are critical in this important sector as they act as large-scale buyers of farmers’
products. They also engage in significant value creation. MINICOM works with agro-processors
across varied SMEs, including essential, coffee, maize, pineapple, passion fruit, tomatoes, honey,
dairy, animal feed, among others. In this framework, Gatsibo District is aiming to promote Gatsibo
Private Sector in order to cooperate and build their capacity in order to valorize these kinds of
opportunities in alignment of self-resilience and Kora-Wigire program, always in Made Rwanda
spirit.

2.2.10. Tertiary Sector

The tertiary sector of the economy is also known as the service industry. This sector sells the goods
produced by the secondary sector and provides commercial services to both the general population
and to businesses in all three economic sectors. Inspite of lack of developed Secondary Sector can
procure tertiary Sector in Gatsibo District; this Sector exists in dependency of products imported
within a Rwanda as countrywide. However, in Gatsibo District tertiary sector recognized a lot
numbers of activities associated described as following : Retail and wholesale sales,
Transportation and distribution, Restaurants, Clerical services (Offices’ Services), Education
services, Media, Tourism, Insurance, Banking, Healthcare, and law (Cabinet d’Acovat for
instance, etc..)., Education and information technology.

2.3.Key achievements of Gatsibo District in different Sectors

The achievements of Gatsibo District are observed through different priority activities and
programs implemented under corresponding sectors7. In this concern, this part will covers all
Sectors and their high recognized achievements as follows:

2.3.1. Economic Development by sector

a) Agriculture

Agriculture production and livestock is the principle economic activity in Gatsibo District.
According to EICV5, 16.8% is Percentage of land under consolidation compared to 15.9% at

7 DDP implementation report(2013-2018)

19
national level, 72.7% is Percentage of land protected against soil erosion compared to 68.5% at
national level, 3.7% is Percentage of land under irrigation compared to 6%% at national level.
According to EICV4, 77.3% are employed by agriculture sector including the wage farm (13.6%)
and independent farmers (63.7%). The rest are either in the service or informal sectors.

 Crop production

According to Seasonal Agricultural Survey - 2017 Season A, agricultural physical land represent
% of the district’s land, including cultivated land (75.2%), fallow (4.7%) and pasture and non-
agricultural land represent only 20.1%. The same survey showed that the main crop produced are
cereals (maize and Rice) representing 29.5% of cultivated land, followed by legumes and pulse
with 28.5% and banana on 23.14% agriculture data8 (NISR, 2017 Seasonal Agricultural Survey -
Season A)

Source: NISR, 2017 Seasonal Agricultural Survey - Season A

In fact, the season A of 2017, in Gatsibo district mixed cropping was found in 91.9% of cultivated
land which is higher than the national average (83.2%), while pure cropping is 8.1% and improved
seeds are used in only 5% of cultivated land. This put out the weakness in use of improved seeds
need to be improved in order to increase production and productivity to the land cultivated, since
the land as production factor is no longer increased. Moreover, the use of fertilizers still at low
level where by in cultivated land organic and inorganic fertilizers are used in 41.2% and 10.3% of
all plots respectively while pesticides are used in 3.2% of those cultivated plots.

Another factor for crop production is irrigation and anti-erosion practice. In fact, considering the
weather and climate of Gatsibo district as external factor and treats facing agriculture sector, the
development of practices that would enhance the independence on rains is very crucial. Currently
as reported by NISR (2017), the irrigation is practiced on 2.6% of cultivated land in Gatsibo
District using mainly the stream water (95.5%). But, the District put more efforts in introducing
new Technology of adopting Small Scale irrigation and some valley dams have been developed,
and yet are not well exploited rationally.

 Livestock

In addition to crops, livestock is another important source of income and food for agricultural
households. In Gatsibo District, 69.7% of HHs own any livestock mainly cows including 73.3%
in HHs headed by male and 58.1% in HHs headed by female. The milk production is increasing
over year following the introduction of exotic breeding being replacing local breeding. Today
Gatsibo District counts 63,848 local cows while Jersey and Friesian are 1,427 and 3,102
respectively, whereas cross Cows estimated at 14,406 Cows. However, Gatsibo has five milk
collections centre located in Rwimbogo, Kabarore, Ngarama, Kiziguro and Kiramuruzi Sector
with a collection capacity of 2,000 liters (MINAGRI Record 2013).

21
b) Urbanization and Rural Settlement

Gatsibo District is characterized by small semi-urban centers and the largest part is entirely rural.
According to EICV4, the housing in Gatsibo District are mainly in grouped in community
settlement (Imidugudu) represented by 62.7% of HHs while unplanned clustered rural housing is
at 25.4%, isolated rural housing 6.3%, modern planned area 4.2%. Master plans for Kabarore and
Ngarama towns have been completed as well as master plan for Development of Muhazi Lake
Shores. Systematic land registration has been completed in all 14 sectors and land owners in four
sectors have been issued with land titles. The movement of the population towards Imidugudu is
discouraged largely by the fact that there are no socio-economic infrastructure developments
available in such housing sites.

 Transport

In terms of road network, the District has feeder roads networks of 413.93 km and out of that,
199.82 km are in good conditions whereas 214.11km need rehabilitation. Gatsibo District is
crossed by a tarmacked road Kayonza-Kagitumba. The District has 20 bridges whereby 8 are in
good condition, 3 in and 9 in bad conditions need to be rehabilitated.

 Energy

The primary source of energy used in Gatsibo District by households for lighting was categorized
as follows: electricity, oil lamp, firewood, candle, lantern, solar panel, battery, and other
unspecified sources. EICV4 (2014) showed that the battery is the main source of lighting of most
HHs (59.5%) in Gatsibo. Moreover, 19% of households use electricity as main source of lighting
which is below the national average (19.8%). Meanwhile, this situation has improved compared
to 2012 whereby the use of electricity as main source of lighting in Gatsibo was at 13.4%.

Although the number of households using electricity for lighting has increased since 2012 it is still
very low by all standards. Today Households connected to electricity are 27%, and it requires
making more efforts to attain 70% planned into 2020 closely to be matured. Concrete actions shall
therefore be needed to increase the number of households accessing electricity.

According to EICV4 (2014), the main cooking fuel in Gatsibo district is firewood representing
93.2% of HHs followed by charcoal used by 6.0% of HHs while gas is used by 0.2% of HHs. The

22
District shall have to work extra hard to reverse the situation. We need to use other sources of
energy for cooking other than firewood to preserve our forests and protect the environment.

 Water and sanitation

The EICV4 reported that 74.3% of Gatsibo district households use improved drinking water source
which are accessed in meantime of 15.7 minutes compared to 84.8% which are accessed in
meantime of 11.2 minutes at national level. This survey showed that majority of households use
protected spring water (30.6%), followed by public standpipe (29%). Other improved sources are
piped into dwelling or yard, borehole, protected well and rain water. Meanwhile, according to
EICV4, the access to improved drinking water source has been improved of 2% from 72.3% to
74.3% in 2011 and 2014 respectively.

In terms of sanitation, the EICV4 reported that Gatsibo district has 86.3% of households which
use improved sanitation facilities, which is slightly above the national average (83.4%). Other
households use unimproved sanitation facilities except 0.5% of HHs which do not have toilet at
all.

 Environment and Natural Resources

Gatsibo District is characterized by a vegetation cover of stipple wooded. Its hills are covered by
short grasses as well as small trees and shrubs. Concerning forests, the District lacks sufficient
forest cover/trees. The forest cover in the Gatsibo District is 24,085 ha out of 158,200 ha surface
of Gastibo District, represents 15.22%. Refer to this percentage it needs more 14.78% to reach a
national average of 30%. (2015-16 Eastern Province’s annual report) Agro-forest is also
predominant in the District. Environment protection activities carried out in the District are
essentially to fight soil erosion by reforestation and digging terraces.

According to EICV4, 79.8% of land are protected against soil erosion, 18.6% of land are affected
by land consolidation while only 1.8% of land are irrigated which is very low compared to national
average (4.0%).

23
According to EICV4 (2014), the main problems resulting from environmental destruction are due
to the destructive rains (12.2%), mountain slides (2.1%) and floods (0.21%). Despite that, only
10.7% of HHs in Gatsibo has rainwater catchment systems compared to 17.4% at national level9.
The mining sector in the District is still undeveloped despite some mineral deposits like casseterite,
wolfram and Coltan discovered in different parts of the District. For instance Coltan mineral
deposits discovered in Kamate, Rwikiniro and Nyamatete cells in Rwimbogo Sector. Casseterite
discovered in Bugarura, Bibare, and other areas to mention but a few. However, local miners
extract the minerals in unsafer way without considering and respecting the law protecting the
environment and by the people without legal documents.

c) Private sector and youth employment

Gatsibo, like other districts, has young and active population. According to EICV4 (2014), in
Gatsibo District, youth aged between 14 and 35 years represent 36.8% of the total population.
Regarding employment levels in the district, the overall employment rate is 82.3% of the resident
population aged 16 years and above, the unemployment rate is 1.1% (RLFS-August 2016-
Febrauary 2017)10. This employment rate is high compared to the national average which is 78.2%
and 4.9% according to RLFS-August 2016-February 2017:74).

In Gatsibo District, small and medium enterprises and cooperatives are more vibrant in craft
production activities. Craft centers were developed with the aim of promoting employment sector
based on promotion of District craft products, by producing good quality and competitive items
on the national market. Craft production centers are also established to provide the working
facilities which most craftsmen and women cannot afford on their own.
In order to attract additional businesses, the District has supported the construction of District
Hotel and Integrated Craft Production Centre (ICPC)-AGAKIRIRO. The remaining works should
be completed and be operational in order to serve different entrepreneurs dispersed in Kabarore
Center.

24
In addition to that, every administrative sector has an operational modern market: Modern markets
of Kabarore, Rwagitima, Kiramuruzi, Muhura, Ngarama, Mugera, Rwikiniro, Ndatemwa and
Gasange. Working in a group improves the quality standards and the production capacity whereby
experienced producers train young apprentices. Tables 3 and 4 below indicate small and medium
enterprises and cooperatives operational in Gatsibo District.

To these, there are other opportunities for private sector development especially those related to
tourism development. In fact, Gatsibo offers a few ranges of hotels and restaurants. Only Gatsibo
Guest Hotel is newly opened while it has many touristic natural sites that attract numerous visitors.

The tourism attractions include Lake Muhazi, Urutare rwa Ngarama, Utubindi twa Ruganzu twa
Rubona and Kibondo Ibigabiro of King (Gatsibo k’Imitoma) and Akagera National Park. The
District needs to attract potential investors in eco and cultural-tourism to sustainably develop and

25
manage those sites for increased District revenue and employment. Moreover, together with the
Districts of Gatsibo and Kayonza, Gatsibo hosts a share of the Akagera National Park.

d) Financial Sector Development

The access to finance is among the priorities of the government of Rwanda in order to facilitate
the creation of new businesses and ensure poverty eradication. According to EICV4 2014, 37.8%
of households in Gatsibo District have at least one saving account;

In Gatsibo, there are two kinds of financial sector: formal sector and informal sector. The formal
sector includes financial institutions (banks, microfinance institutions and insurance companies).
Currently, the district has two banks’ branches: Bank of Kigali and BANQUE POPULAIRE;
Nineteen microfinance institutions (UMWARIMU SACCO, 14 UMURENGE SACCO, RIM,
Vision Finance, DUTERIMBERE, and CT Murambi) and three insurance companies
(SONARWA, SORAS and RADIANT). To those formal financial institutions, there are many
informal financial groups among the population aiming at facilitating savings as well as access to
finance. The main challenge of this financial sector is the accessibility from the remote areas. In
fact, most of the formal institutions are condensed in developed areas mainly around the
headquarters of the district except Umurenge SACCO which is at sector level, thus, it is not easy
for HHs to access their services.

2.3.2. Social Development cluster

Achievements: In the previous EICV5, the poverty rate at district level was 42.1% including
18.8% in extreme poverty. This shows that there is no graduation from poor to non-poor population
(0.3%) and this 0.3% was increased to extreme poor since EICV 4 was 18.5%11. This was a result
to increase efforts of the district in supporting HHs in extreme poverty through different
mechanisms. Those may include Ubudehe programs, VUP, support to old poor people, promotion
of SMEs, and implement modern agriculture.

a) Sporting and cultural activities

In Gatsibo District, sports activities are more focused on football, basketball, volleyball and are
mainly practiced by the youth in the sectors and schools. The main challenge of this sector is
related to infrastructure whereby the most playgrounds used belong to schools. Therefore, youth

11 Gatsibo DDP implementation report (2013-2018)

26
out of schools do not easily accessing those infrastructures. There is no multipurpose hall for
cultural activities to entertain youth in cultural activities. Finally, cultural clubs are also mainly
found in secondary schools. In this coming DDS the District plans to construct accessible sports
infrastructure to develop this career.
b) Education

 Pre-primary education

The Government of Rwanda describes ECD as “the processes by which children from pre
conception to six years grow and thrive physically, mentally, emotionally, morally and socially”.
“Pre-primary schooling” or nursery schooling is an important part of ECD. (ECD policy and
strategic plan MINEDUC 2011b).

Pre-primary education in Gatsibo District is still not developed although the number of nursery
schools has risen from 85 in 2012 to 135 in 2017. The District is confronted by insufficient number
of schools in relation to the demand. This is largely due to the lack of funds for construction and
to cover the running cost. Currently the only 45% of children attends the nursery schools at Gatsibo
district. (Annual District education report).

This progress was due on the partnership between parents and schools aiming at enabling children
to acquire required pre-primary knowledge. Moreover, the sensitization and role model schools
have been reinforced in last 4 years.

 Primary education

According to EICV4, gross attendance rate dropped from 151.4% in 2012 to 138% in 2014 while
the Net attendance rate in primary schools decreased from 90.4% to 88.6% for the same period. In
this regards, the district reports shown that Gatsibo District has 85 primary schools which are
geographically equitably distributed in all administrative Sectors with 106,025 pupils out of which
53,991 are female while 52,034 are male with 1,521 teachers while the pupil teacher ratio is 69:1
(Annual District education report)

However those schools do not function efficiently as desired for several reasons: most of them
have buildings which are in a very bad state and require urgent rehabilitation. The total number of
pupils in almost all schools far exceeds the capacity of each classroom; Teaching materials are
literally not enough in all schools. There is a high school drop-out rate of 4% due to the following
reasons: Parents who are generally poor, Children lack any form of counseling from their parents,
pregnancy cases and repeated failure which discourage children who repeat certain classes, cases
of early child labor and others

 Secondary education

27
According to EICV4, gross secondary school attendance rate dropped from 34.1% in 2012 to
32.2% in 2014 while the net secondary school attendance rate has increased from 15.9% to 16.8%
for the same period. The literacy rate for persons having at least 15 years old also increased from
62.5% in 2012 to 71.3% in 2014 while the computer literacy rate among the same group of people
is 4.6% (male are 6.3% and female are 3.1%).

According to district reports, Gatsibo District has 48 secondary schools with 20,841 total number
of students out of which 10,449 are female and 10,392 male with 777 teachers while the student’s
teacher ratio is at 27:1. The dropout rate is 3.3% in Primary School and 3.7% in O level while
1.1% is for A level. The District has 7 TVET schools with 410 students with 1112 teachers which
express the teacher student ratio of 38 students each teacher. Gatsibo District do not have any
Higher Learning Institution or technical schools training tertiary level.

c) Health
A heath population is fundamental in economic growth of any District. Gatsibo District has 19
health establishments and 2 hospitals of Kiziguro and Ngarama, 11 health post are available with
2,412 health community workers which implies that each administrative village have got 4 health
community workers and one District pharmacy.( District health annual report ).

Health personnel in each health center are insufficient both in terms of quality and quantity.
Similarly, available laboratories are insufficient in number and often lack the necessary
equipment12.

d) Social Protection
In Gatsibo district, vulnerable household represent 38.1% including 23.8% headed by women,
12.6% headed by disabled person and 1.7% headed by a person aged less than 21years old as
reported by EICV4 (2014). This situation is not improving compared to 36.1% whereby HHs
headed by disabled person doubled from 6.0%.

Under the ubudehe categorization, communities periodically rank the households in their area on
a scale of 1 to 4 according to their perceived poverty and vulnerability status, with a score of 1
being the most vulnerable and 4 the least.

To support those vulnerable HHs, the Government of Rwanda in General and Gatsibo district put
in place supporting programs including VUP, Girinka, support to genocide survivors, people with
disabilities, returnees from Tanzania, Marginalized people, etc.

2.3.3. Good Governance and Justice Cluster

12District annual report,2017

28
 a) Decentralization and Good governance
Gatsibo District is committed to successful implementation of decentralization policy, respect of
human rights and rule of law, exercising good governance and promoting the well-being of its
population. The intention is to improve the quality and efficiency of services, strengthen fiscal
management, enhance private sector development and increase local participation in decision-
making processes. The District has streamlined the working relationship with partners in
development (JADF). The principle of accountability is applied at all levels of district
administration while service delivery assessment is done quartely. This is explained by the CRC
findings whereby Gatsibo District ranked as the 1st with 75.6% (Rwanda citizen report card
survey 2016 ).

b) Justice, Reconciliation, Law and Order

In line with national policies on justice, reconciliation, law and order; Gatsibo district put much
emphasize on the security from village level whereby a number of community policing agents are
in place and efficient supplemented by DASSO and ordinary security organs (Police and Military).
The justice is rendered to each and every person through various organs from community forum
(inteko z’abaturage), mediators (abunzi) established from cell level and courts at district level. For
the vulnerable people a special legal aid is available at district level know as MAJ (Maison d’Aide
à la Justice).

The newly established akagoroba k’ababyeyi at village level, helped much in preventing crimes
in HHs as well as GBV. In order to mainstream Rwandan values among its population, Gatsibo
district put also much emphasize on National Itorero which is organized from village level up to
the district. Moreover, the district established one transit centers at sector and district level for
correcting, educating and orienting delinquent people before their reintegration into the
community.

The reconciliation is ensured and enhanced by organizing public talks during the period of
commemoration of genocide against Tusti in 1994, supporting survivors, maintaining memorial
sites, and rewarding role model persons who saved lives from genocide known as Abarinzi
b’igihango.

c) ICT

29
The use of ICT in Gatsibo district is still at a low level. In fact, the telephone network coverage is
at 30% .. Moreover, according to EICV4 (2014), only 0.6% of households own a computer, 63.9%
own radio, 58.6% own a mobile phone, and 6.0%of HHs own a TV set in Gatsibo district. The
internet use is also at a very low level whereby only 0.6% of the population uses regularly the
internet service facility, 1.6% accesses them sometimes and 43.4% do not use them at all.
Meanwhile, the awareness of internet services have increased from 2012 to 2014. According to
EICV4 (2014), the percentage of people who don’t know about internet service dropped from
90.5% to 53.8% in 2012 and 2014 respectively. This may due to the increase of public services
delivered online through government portals like Irembo, E-recruitment, RRA, etc. such services
obliged the district to ensure availability of utilities at district level and increased the awareness
among the population.

d) Public Financial Management

Gatsibo district like any other public institution in Rwanda, is striving to be effective and efficient
in terms of management of public finance. Moreover, it is committed to increase internal revenue
by strengthening collection mechanisms of taxes. Today Gastibo District was raised 802,270,926
Rwf of own revenues coming from 557,565,996 Rwf collected in 2014/2015 and the District has
a target of collecting 904,414,336 Rwf by 2017/2018, always in spirit of Self reliance financially.
The aim of PFM district level is to have a clean audit opinion from OAG as well as implementation
of Auditor General’s recommendations on the previous year’s audits at 100%.

 2.4.Key District economic potentialities
Gatsibo District is having enough potentialities that can be backbone of its economy. To begin with, there is availability of suitable land
for coffee growing to enable agriculture export, agribusiness activities, like growing banana, maize, soybeans and beans growing and
cattle keeping for fresh milk production. Further, there are also mineral deposits and quarries for mining development (coltan, cassiterite,
clay, stones and sand). Mining is a strong opportunity to Gatsibo District since it provides diversified source of revenues and can create
job opportunities to the population in Gatsibo District. The Figure 2 below gives an overview of the local potentialities of Gatsibo
District. Tourism is a great socio-economic development potential for Gatsibo District since it is part of the Akagera national park but,
enabling tourism infrastructures such as hotels need to be established14.

2.6.Gatsibo SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis is a useful technique for understanding institution’s Strengths and Weaknesses, and for identifying both the
Opportunities open to a given institution and the Threats it is being facing in. However, the SWOT Analysis as technique was carried
out in order to assess the internal strengths and weakness as well as internal and external opportunities that the district would benefit of
and threats which may affect negatively the transformational journey of the district. This technique guided in analysis of all Sectors and
cross cutting areas for aiming the alignment of DDS to NST1 through contributing priorities. In this regards, the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats for Gatsibo District are observed through all 16 Sectors as follows:

2.7. STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS

Gatsibo District has registered a considerable number of development stakeholders that are mainly
categorized into government institutions, civil society and private sectors. The first category could
be the Government institutions (Ministries, Parastatal agencies and Public projects) followed by
civil society organizations such as non-government organizations, associations and churches. The
third category of partners include private sector and Gatsibo Community which comprises of
banks, insurance companies, hotels, transport companies, cooperatives and individuals. All these
stakeholders are very active and are contributing to the development of the District.
However, during the elaboration of this DDS, several internal and external actors have been
involved at its different levels. Indeed, internal actors include private sector and civil society while
international actors are mainly international NGOs. Currently, the district has about 61 NGOs
involved in different domains within the district and 22 religious institutions. (See on appendix the
list of partners working within Gatsibo district and their respective interventional domain). The
domains of intervention of the above NGOs are grouped under four clusters which are Economy,
Social development, Health, Good governance and Justice. All of these partners are locally
represented and do participate in District meetings through the JADF forums.
Some Ministries and related institutions are working in Gatsibo towards district development. We
may specify some of them such as MINALOC through its program of Social Protection and LODA
which intervene mostly in rural development by Financing development Projects, Social programs
such as VUP and Ubudehe, MINICOM by implementing its program of promotion of SMES and
Cooperatives support, MININFRA through RTDA, REG and WASAC which contributes mostly
in roads development, electrification of the district, Water Supply and sanitation facilities
respectively. RDB also intervenes in tourism development within Akagera National Park and
MINEDUC and its affiliated agencies provide more efforts in education development by
enhancing skills development and so on.

CHAPTER III: ALIGNMENT WITH NATIONAL POLICY FRAMEWORK AND
METHODOLOGY

3.1. Introduction
This chapter put out the importance of District Development Strategies undertaken, the intended
outcomes and outputs in vision of Gatsibo District towards NST1 as national priorities guiding
District contributions and Rwanda wants in 2050. Then, the following chapter tries to cover all
District's overview that put out its geographical features, demography and by inspired by SWOT
Analysis approach it clarified its weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and threats which are
embodied the District or are based on for its socio-economic and governance transformation. It
will illustrate clearly the methodologies and techniques undertaken.

This chapter illustrates also how the Gatsibo DDS are integrated in National Strategy of
transformational (NST1) as inspired by other long term national and regional plans such as: Vision
2050, SDGs, Sector Strategic plans, Green development strategies, EAC vision 2050, African
Agenda 2063 with a deep reference to their pillars and their priority areas in terms of interventions
to achieve the respective visions and goals to become a middle-income country by 2020 and a
high-income country by 2050.

These DDS are centered on three pillars which are Economic transformation, Social
Transformation and Transformational Governance and distributed into sixteen sectors Strategic
Plans, 7 crosscutting issues and unfinished District Development plans (DDPs) targets.
3.2. Methodology
Elaboration of District Development Strategies of Gatsibo District was guided necessary by
different methods and techniques which were applied in function of needs assessment, sampling,
analysis and interpretation of the data gathered for accuracy of information and decision making
accordingly. Information was collected from four main sources: documentation, interviews,
focus group discussions and surveys with household representatives.

In this regards, the elaboration of Gatsibo DDS referred to the formulation of priorities, alignment
of DDSs and Sector Strategies, Citizens’ and stakeholders engagement, Consolidation of District
priorities, District Performance Reviews, District Profiles and Districts priorities shared with
Sectors.

3.2.1. Formulation of priorities.

This entailed both bottom up as well as top down communication channels. The bottom up channel
ensured that priorities from citizens are solicited to shape the future Rwandans want in the long
and medium term (Vision 2050, EDPRS 3 and DDS) while the top down channel ensured that the

65
overarching national development ambitions are well understood, contextualized and packaged in
Gatsibo District Development strategy.

3.2.2. Citizens’ need assessment

The elaboration of the DDS is a highly participatory planning process that involved people of all
level at the district i.e. the citizens, the District Officials, Key Stakeholders and private sector
among others. The participation of citizens is a prerequisite in order to make sure that this DDS
was community needs.
The Citizens’ need assessment was conducted by the District Authorities through the Community
outreach programs such as Umuganda in Mi-October up November 2017. The objectives of this
step were: to exchange information to better understand and consider citizens’ needs during the
DDS development, to ensure the public ownership of the DDS and to improve cooperation between
the local government and the citizen by building confidence and transparency. The outputs from
this assessment are mainly identifying the needs and problems community are facing as demands
which would be subsequently ranked into priorities to be translated into actions to be taken.

3.2.3. Documents review

In this regards, a desk review of District achievements was carried out by assessing relevant
literature that gives an insight on the past and current status of the District. The information
gathered help in preparation of district profile was developed in terms of economic, social,
governance and consideration of environmental aspects of the District.

To elaborate this DDS, several documents have been reviewed in order to understand the district
profile, to determine priorities and their baselines. In fact, District Performance achievements
reports, DDPs Projects implementation report, national surveys and census mainly EICV 3&4,
DHS (3,4 &5), LED strategy, District profile from the NISR website, Website MINECOFIN,
NISR, MINALOC, LODA, Climate Resilient documents (REMA), Master Plan, District
Potentialities, Rwanda National Water Resources Master Plan have been consulted to complement
District Development Strategies. The documents reviewed used here have to be mentioned in
order under the importance of these documents and relationships.

Other Leading documents for the review will include: 7YGP/NST 1, Vision 2020, EDPRS 2,
SDGs, MDGs, AU Agenda 2063, AU Agenda 2063 Ten Year Implementation Plan, EAC Vision
2050, The manifesto of the RPF (the winning party in the Presidential elections), Presidential
Pledges and commitments made during campaigns.

66
 3.2.4. Interviews

Interviews were conducted, where all identified actors and staff were approached during the
elaboration process of this DDS document at the District level and Province level to ensure
harmonization. Those are: All Directors at the District including Director of Planning at Province
level, Executive Committee, Commissions of District Council, JADF Commission, PSF
Commission.

3.2.5. Foca1 Group Discussions

District has key different actors should be considered during elaboration process of DDS. To cover
all domain that are influential in decision making as they are closely to people as centre od DDS,
the focused groups are highly considered. In this framework, the Data were also collected using
qualitative method of Focal Group discussions and key stakeholders such as CNF, CNJ, PDWs,
NYC; Civil Society and Opinion Leaders were consulted.

3.2.6. Review meetings and consultations

The objective of these meetings and consultations were to receive inputs on what works and what
does not work well from the perspective of stakeholders, and recommendations on how to reform
the existing processes to better serve the objectives of the system.
However, consultations with various members of the District Officials, JADFs, Council Members,
and Key Stakeholders of the District, PSF, and various Staff of the District were conducted. The
results from the Citizen’s needs assessment were put together at the District level, and priorities
and interventions were selected. These priorities were brought to the aforementioned review
meetings and consultations. This facilitated the elaboration of key milestones of the DDS such as
M&E matrices. Moreover, consultations on possible strategies and recommendations were done
on regular basis especially with JADFs and PSF. A list of Key Stakeholders and their area of
intervention in the district was provided by the District Authorities.

3.2.7. SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis is a useful technique for understanding institution’s Strengths and Weaknesses,
and for identifying both the Opportunities open to a given institution and the Threats it is being
facing in. In elaboration process of District Development Strategies SWOT Analysis was carried
out in order to assess the internal strengths and weakness as well as external opportunities that the
district would benefit of and threats which may affect negatively the transformational journey of
the district

67
 3.3. Main issues at District level

3.3.1. Economic transformation pillar

Gatsibo District is among the districts with higher percentage of population identified as poor.
According to the EICV4 (2014), whereby (56.2%) of the population of district are under
poverty line (non-poor), while (43.8%) are under extreme poverty line (poor) against 39.1% and
16.3% at national level respectively. (Including 18.5% in extremely poverty against 16.3 % at
national level). The main challenges that the district is facing which affect its economy are the
following
o 50 % of households have very small land varying between 0 and 0.19 ha;
o Low use of agriculture inputs such as fertilizers, selected seeds and low level of livestock
productivity;
o Isolated habitat in the District and its implication on other sectors (84%);
o Low access to electricity (20.6 % of households);
o Road more damaged by landslide;
o 77,3 % live from income from agriculture, while 27% from wage income as well 5% live
from income generated from businesses;
o High pressure on forest due to human activities (charcoal, firewood and timber);
o Lack of agro-processing plants

3.3.2. Social transformation pillar

Achievements: In the previous EICV3 (2012), the poverty rate at district level was 43.1% poverty
rate, including 18.8% in extreme poverty. This shows that there is a little graduation from poor to
non-poor population (0.7%) and 0.3% graduated from extremely poverty to poverty scale. This
was a result of efforts of the district in supporting HHs in extremely poverty through different
mechanisms. Those may include Ubudehe programs, VUP, support to old poor people, promotion
of SMEs, and implement modern agriculture. The main challenges that the district is facing in
this Cluster which affect its economy are the following;
o 28% of households use unimproved drinking water from surface water of river and lake,
and unprotected spring;
o High number of old primary classrooms to be rehabilitated;
o Insufficient of Technical Vocational Education Training Centre and laboratory and
libraries in secondary schools;
o 30.1 % of individuals aged 15 and above do not know how to read and write;
o Insufficient of health facilities and old health infrastructures:

68
3.3.3. Transformational Governance Pillar

The main challenges that the district is facing which affect its economy are the following:
o The insufficient skills and professional capacity for staff in technical, planning and decision
making positions across all District levels and in private sector.
o Low level of District’s own revenues collection;
o Lack of promotion of Values and Home grown solutions for Transformational governance

3.4. Alignment of DDS to NST1

DDS relied on 7 priorities and 15 outcomes as defined in economic pillar, 5 priorities and 12
outcomes related to the social transformation, while transformational governance covers 5
priorities and 11 outcomes. All those outcomes will lead to achievement of Gatsibo District
Mission. The following constitute the strategic intervention.

3.4.1. Economic transformation pillar

The overall objective of the economic transformation pillar is to accelerate inclusive economic
growth and development founded on the Private Sector, knowledge and existing natural
resources. The economic transformation will be achieved through job creation for economic
development and poverty reduction, acceleration of urbanization, promotion of industrial
development, increasing agriculture and livestock quality, productivity and production as well as
sustainably exploitation of natural resources and protection of environment.
In this context, 7 priorities were identified and from each priority, strategic intervention was
defined as indicated in the table

Chapter IV: STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK

4.1.Introduction

This chapter constitutes the core of this DDS. It contains priorities for the next 6 years according to the above challenges. After analyzing
the district current situation, challenges, identification of district priorities and existing potentialities, this chapter provides the strategic
framework for the district to achieve its vision and therefore, contributing to the country's development. The chapter presents the
district’s vision, mission, detailed discussion of different strategies that will be used to achieve intended outcomes and linking them to
the National Strategy for Economic Transformation, Social transformation and Governance Transformational globally into NST1. The
result chain through which this DDS will be implemented is also described below.

4.2.The District Vision, Mission and Objectives

The vision of an organization spells out the dream of the organization’s leaders about how they want to see the organization look like
at some specified time
4.2.1. Vision
The vision of Gatsibo District is focused on “Poverty eradication through promoting private sector investment, agriculture
transformation, sustainable human settlement and infrastructure development while protecting environment sustainably.”

4.2.2. Mission
Pursuant to law n°08/2006 of 24/02/2006 determining the organization and functioning of the District, with respect to policy,
administration, economy, social welfare and culture, Gatsibo District has a mission of:
 Implementing the government policy;

88
 Giving services and helping sectors to deliver quality services;
 Establishing, coordinating and implementing development programs;
 Promoting solidarity and cooperation with other Districts

4.2.3. Objectives of the District.

 General Objective:

The general objective of Gatsibo District and off course that of the DDS is anchored on its vision and the aspirations of its people. Thus,
the general objective for Gatsibo District is:
“To build and strengthen an agro based economy with a view to making the District an agricultural hub so that it is self-sufficient in
food production, have a surplus for the market and create jobs for its people, the ultimate goal being to reduce endemic poverty, fight
hunger and malnutrition in the District”.

 Specific Objectives:

 To increase agricultural production and productivity in agriculture;

 To establish agro based industries for the processing of different agricultural products found in the District;
 To expand and improve infrastructure of all types with a view to supporting production in different sectors of the economy and
also offer better services to the people;
 To improve health services in the District because as the saying goes, “a healthy people are a healthy nation”;
 To improve the quality of education, especially technical education because the District needs qualified technicians who will be
the driving force in the private sector
 To improve governance and service delivery in the District.

89
4.3.Main Priorities at District level

Scholars of Economics define Economics as a study about “allocation of scarce resources to satisfy unlimited needs of society, it is a
discipline that advocates for prioritization and making choices in the process of allocating the scarce resources between competing needs
with a view to maximizing the satisfaction of society”. That being the case, therefore, in Gatsibo District, given the limited budget, we
have to prioritize and make choices between the competing unlimited needs our people have with a view to maximizing the services we
give them. The table below contains a list of priorities in Gatsibo District as per the wishes of the people from different administrative
sectors.
The methodology adopted to identify the priorities was based on the collection of wishes from the population of different administrative
sectors, grouping the wishes of the population according to socio-economic sectors in which they fall, assigning each group of wishes a
weight using IPAR's evaluation weights, counting the frequency of appearance for each group of wishes, calculating the total weight by
multiplying the weight with the frequency and finally ranking the wishes of the population as per the total weighted value. The identified
priorities were matched with the District LED priorities to produce the overall priorities which are shown in the table below.

Priority Areas Title of the projects as per the wish of the people Rank

Transport Feeder roads construction projects 1

Energy Electricity extension projects 2
Water Water supply projects 3

4.4.Results Chain

The above diagram illustrates the logical arrangement of different interventions that create a series of results culminating into the bigger
ultimate result which is the impact. In other words, it represents the sequencing of interventions that lead to the achievement of results
at different levels, the utmost result being the impact of all the interventions to entire society.
Relating the above schematic representation to DDS, we can say that down at the input level, we have different resources in terms of
finance, human resource, and even natural resources that will be committed to different programs and projects in the DDS for the
realization of the targets therein.
At the activity level, we have the utilization of resources to carry out various activities for the realization of outputs targeted in the DDS
and at the output level, we have tangible products produced by carrying out different activities. For example, the outputs can be schools,
hospitals, tons of maize, rice, beans etc. that will be produced by carrying out various activities.
At the outcome level, we have behavioral changes that will accrue to the citizens of Gatsibo District after the realization of various
outputs targeted in the DDS. Whereas it easy and possible to budget for the outputs, it is impossible to explicitly budget for the outcomes.

92
 In the DDS, therefore, we shall budget for the outputs by costing them, the summation of which will help us determine the total budget
of the DDS.
Finally, at the impact level, we expect to have wide spread improvement in the lives of citizens in Gatsibo District. Such change shall
be measured at the end of the of the sixth year i.e. in 2023/24 in an ex-post or summative evaluation to determine the extent to which
the DDS has impacted the lives of the citizens in Gatsibo District.
The sequencing of interventions in the DDS is clearly elaborated in the log frame, as shown below

4.6.Crosscutting areas and associated challenges related to the District’s development

The DDS elaboration took into consideration the cross cutting areas challenges and are reflected below by each cross cutting area

1. Capacity Development
 Insufficient skills of staff at local levels in planning, budgeting, procurement procedures and results based management as pre-
requisite to well implement their planned activities or performance contract
 Limited skills in human and resources management and low skills in technical areas and ICT
 Lack of capacity in many sectors especially energy, good governance and decentralization, urbanization and rural settlement,
2. Regional integration
 Gatsibo District is still having a small production in agriculture and livestock for export
 Low level of quality of education especially technical skills in different foreign languages like Kiswahili, English and French
 Lack of use of international language in different skills
 District roads network is in bad condition that result high cost of transport

3. Gender and family promotion

 Low skills on the technics used in ECDs teaching in Gatsibo District
 Few number of women in cooperatives operating in agricultural value chain comparatively to the number of men
 High unemployment rate for youth and women
 Low level of income generating activities especially for women and youth,
 Low level of entrepreneurship skills and financial education especially for women, low access to financial facilities through
financial institutions like for women and youth,

152
4. Environment and Climate change
 Limited alternative sources of energy to biomass usage,
 Limited knowledge and skills on environmental health
 Within Gatsibo district, 93.2% use firewood for cooking, this have a negative impact as the environment is destroyed

5. Disaster Management
 Existence of many people who are scatted in high risk sites (Zones)
 Many run off and landslide from hillside and misuse of land master plan
 The mismanagement of forest has a negative impact on the environment as it is a main factor of appearance of floods.
 Rain water from shelters and main roads not retained that cause the erosion of adjacent soils.
 The use of traditional techniques in mining is a source of several deaths at mining sites.
 Limited infrastructure such as lightning road in public places exposes to accidents.

6. Disability and social inclusion

 Physical accessibility
 Lack of health devices (orthopedic materials)
 Slow graduation from poverty,
 Social protection programs that are not sustainable,
 Poor mentality regarding gender and disability
 Insufficiency of a comprehensive national program to build the skills of people with disability
 Infrastructures not adapted to PWDs requirements
 5% of people live with major disability in Gatsibo district,

153
 7. HIV/ AIDS and Non Communicable Diseases
 Low awareness on HIV/ AIDS and Non Communicable Diseases prevention and treatment
 Low knowledge on non-communicable diseases
 Increased prevalence of continued spread of HIV/AIDS infection and non-Communicable diseases and high malnutrition which
exacerbates the HIV/AIDS.

4.7.Mainstreaming 7 cross cutting areas

During the elaboration of this DDS, Greening was taken into consideration as follow:
District challenges faced in the implementation of DDSs
Under EDPRSII, are presented below under different sectors:

Greening Agriculture and Animal Resources Sector

With green growth in Agriculture, Gatsibo District has the problem of practices that are not in conformity with the green economy. They include:
Climate change that brings prolonged drought that affected livestock and agriculture, Crop diseases such as Bacteria xynthomonas wilt disease

156
(Kirabiranya) which affected banana production, burning of post-harvest crop-biomass which generates heavy smoke in the atmosphere, little
application of organic manure and human activities that are harmful to the environment

In this DDS, measures will be put in place to correct the above issues and ensure green economy in the District especially by shifting to modern-
water-saving irrigation systems where sustainable agricultural practices have many benefits. These are represented in reduced water and energy
consumption costs, increased revenue resulting from increased land productivity, crop yields, reduced labour cost as well as the cost of fertilizers
and pesticides. Benefits from sustainable agriculture are also reflected in improved application of organic manure and human activities due to
improved environmental quality and the food chain.

Greening the Private Sector Development and Youth Employment Sector

Sometime the private sector establishes their activities without considering the protection of environment in that area and the environment may be
destroyed by these activities.eg Establishment of petroleum station across the roads,

During this elaboration of DDS, this issue is reflected in two possible ways:

First one is the District in collaboration with Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA) shall work with the proprietors of petroleum
stations to ensure that before construction environmental impact studies are carried out with care to ensure environmental friendliness in all activities
designed to promote the private sector, be it in their routine activities or during the construction of infrastructure.

Second one is the District through capable bodies like the Rwanda Standards Board (RSB) shall also ensure that petrol stations observe environmental
standards for example ensuring that disposal of petroleum products’ wastes has been provided for and the facilities to store the waste are well kept.

157
Transport Sector

To help improve greening in the transport sector there will a need to improve drainage on all new roads and the ones being rehabilitated to protect
roads from further erosion and destruction. Similarly impact assessment studies shall be a necessity for all roads being constructed because it has
been realized that most environmental issues arise due to lack of environmental impact assessment studies.

Greening energy sector

For this sector the effort will be put on encouraging population to reduce biomass consumption by using domestic biogas stoves and
other energy saving stoves to make the energy sector environmentally more friendly, It is also important to note that as more
households start using electricity for lighting, environment will get more protected since they will be able to depend less on biomass
for lighting.

Greening Water and Sanitation sector

It is noted that unhygienic sanitary facilities for waste disposal, poor management of solid and liquid wastes and inadequate hygienic practices are
causing for a large portion of the population’s disease burden. Sound environmental health conditions are a key prerequisite to enhance quality of
life and impact positively sustainable economic growth. Waste management including recycling of the waste will be one of the priorities in this DDS
to address the problem of waste management with a view to protecting the environment.

This DDS has identified and prioritized green that embody a comprehensive integrated management system. This will be achieved through investing
in solid waste collection and sorting in addition to landfilling and processing services (waste re-use, energy and recycling) and all related
infrastructure. These interventions should work simultaneously complement each other and fill existing investment gaps that act a barriers against
the proper management of the sector. Most importantly it will significantly reduce waste accumulation in streets and waterways across Gatsibo
District.

158
Greening Urbanization and Rural settlement sector

It must be noted that in many cases if urbanization is not planned well, there are some environmental issues that may emerge. Already Gatsibo
District suffer from the lack of town gardens and greening as well as beautification programmes. This is an environmental issue that has to be
contained. There are also problems of flooding and landslides caused by climate change which can be handled better through proper environmental
management practices. Another problem is that in rural areas, even in public infrastructure like schools there are no storage tanks to collect and store
rain water.

In this DDS the sensitization of the population therefore shall be essential for the construction of storage rain water tanks. This will not only protect
the environment but help the population to store water for their domestic use.

Greening ICT

Greening ICT for Gatsibo District, the focus will be on disposing the old ICT equipment that can cause damage to the environment. The District
will explore ways of working with the private sectors to see how the old equipment can be recycled to produce other products.

In terms of promoting the green economy and greening in general, the strategies explained above will go a long way to protect our
environment and promote the strengthening of green economy in the District.

Greening Environment and Natural resources sector

Some roads of Gatsibo District do not have the trees to protect, for greening this sector, the trees will be planted across the roads and in other areas
that may be destroyed by the lack trees across the district. This will promote the friendly environmental issues

Greening Social protection sector

159
To promote greening in the social protection sector, all beneficiaries getting shelter shall be requested to plant trees and flowers in
their compounds. Similarly, during construction, rain water storage tanks shall be provided. This will help to collect rain water and
stop the creation of gullies in the surrounding areas. It is important also to note that before the construction of houses begins;
environmental impact studies shall be conducted to ensure that no damage is done. Selection of sites for construction shall be done in
a way that it is only the agriculturally poor sites that can be selected so that we don’t misuse good agricultural land.

Greening Health Sector

Enhance hygiene and sanitation conditions in public spaces and household’s is critical.

To protect the environment and promote green economy in the health sector, will require all the parties involved in the provision of health services
and the seekers of the services. The seekers of the services will be required to maintain high level of cleanliness i.e. not disposing the waste
everywhere; again the litter should be put in places reserved for it for the hospital administration to collect. The Hospital administration are also
required to observe high degree of cleanliness and also be careful especially when disposing some dangerous products used in hospital so that they
disposed in the right places safe for the protection of environment. Hospital administration should also plant flowers and trees on their compounds
not only to beautify their compounds but also to protect the environment. Where new infrastructure is to be built environmental impact studies will
be done to determine whether there will not any damage to the environment. The District will continue to sensitize the hospitals and population to
protect the environment as a way of beautification of health centres

Greening Education Sector

To promote green economy and greening in general where new classrooms are to be constructed, effort shall be made to ensure that environmental
impact studies are done before construction begins. Planting trees and flowers on school compounds shall also be done to protect environment around
the schools to beautify the surroundings. On top of this, using biogas and other energy saving technologies in school kitchens shall be intensified to
reduce emissions of smoke in the atmosphere.

In this DDS elaboration, the District will also promote the establishment and operationalization of environment and climate change clubs and monitor
the numbers of students.

160
 CHAPTER V: IMPLEMENTATION OF DDS

5.1.Introduction
The DDS will be implemented within the district by different institutions: public Institutions,
national and international NGOs and civil society. Before this implementation, the district will
organize workshop per year progress and to set out strategies and proper mechanism to
implement DDS successfully.

5.3.DDS Implementation Strategy
The elaboration of Gatsibo DDS followed a participatory approach involving a various number of
stakeholders. In the same way, the implementation of this DDS cannot be achieved without the
involvement of those stakeholders. The success of its implementation will be a result from the
involvement of public institutions, private sectors, Civil society including NGOs (local and
International), Community Based Structure (CBS) including National Women Council, National
Youth Council, National Commission for people with Disability, etc. The implementation of DDS
will also involve Faith Based Organization such as religious, responsible of churches etc.

The role of citizen of Gatsibo will be of paramount importance as beneficiaries and actors of this
DDS. The following session describes the role of every stakeholder in the implementation of this
DDS.

5.3.1. Role of Public Institutions

Some Ministries and related institutions work with Gatsibo towards district development, these
encompass ministries and public agencies. Their role in DDS implementation will be to provide
financial resources mainly MINECOFIN through earmarked transfer coordination of the
implementation, monitoring and Evaluation of DDS especially MINALOC and MINECOFIN and
provide advices though elaboration of policies, guidelines, directives and procedures to follow in
various domains of interventions. Ministry of Local Government (MINALOC) through its
program of Social Protection and LODA which intervene mostly in rural development by financing
development Projects, Social programs such as VUP and Ubudehe,

Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) by implementing its program of promotion of SMES
and Cooperatives support, Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA) through RTDA, REG and
WASAC which contributes mostly in roads development, electrification of the district, Water
Supply and sanitation facilities respectively. Rwanda Development Board (RDB) also intervenes
in tourism development within Akagera National Park, Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) and
its affiliated agencies provide more efforts in education development by enhancing skills
development and so on.

168
5.3.2. The role of the Province and Provincial Steering Committee
The Province is the Districts overseer entity and is entrusted with the power to coordinate all
decentralized activities from sector to district. It shall coordinate, monitor and evaluate progress
and annual district performance aligned to the set annual targets. it shall ensure that interventions
of the district respond to national priorities and those of the district, it will ensure that sector
priorities are well captured especially those which will only be reflected in action plans including
national issues, it shall advocate for resources and other necessary interventions, and bring
together districts thematic working groups and partners for joint planning.

5.3.3. The role of the District

During the implementation phase the District is going to play several roles; on one hand like other
development partners at the District level, it will implement the DDS by using its own revenues in
implementing its priorities. The district will bring together other partners on board to plan together
on an annual basis using Imihigo and action plan as a DDS implementation tool and strategy. This
will help to pull resources, harmonization of interventions, reprioritization in the development
process.

It shall also be the role of district to mobilize resources and partners in and out of the district,
whereas the DDS will cost billions, the district own revenue are in millions thus the district will
undertake mobilization efforts of the private sector, government sectors and the civil society for
supplementary resources.

5.3.4. Role of Private Sector

The private sector will play a big role in implementation of DDS mainly by being involved in
Income generating activity projects such as agro-processing project, agro-dealers, implementation
of economic activities (coffee washing stations, involvement in promotion of TVET schools, green
projects and increasing small, medium and large enterprises.

5.3.5. The role of the Development Partners

A District as an administrative entity cannot develop on itself without Development partners’

support. They played a great role in the district development in the past five year and this time it
will even be greater. Their operations shall be coordinated through JADF and the district

169
coordinates them in having a joint planning and budgeting. They will ensure that their interventions
respond to the aspirations of the district and the national priorities, they will monitor and evaluation
the interventions of the district and those of their own through their forum. They will plan together
with the district to avoid duplication of intervention and scattering of resources which were
reflected in the DDP/EDPRS 2 and lastly but most importantly they will implement the DDS
through pulling resources.

5.3.6. Role of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs).

The CSOs (Local and International NGOs) will be involved mainly in Social and governance
related activities as usually. In general, these CSOs are not for profit and intervene frequently in
social welfare. Their involvement will be recorded in increasing health care, reduction of poverty
by providing support aimed at increasing the revenues of the household (such as Girinka
programme, financial literacy through Voluntary saving and Loan associations, family planning
and family empowerment…)

5.3.7. Role of citizens

Gatsibo District inhabitants will play a great role during the implementation of DDS interventions
mainly because they are beneficiaries and actors of those interventions. They will be involved in
promotion of agricultural related activities, constitute a man power for economic activities
(construction, volunteers in case of implementations of some activities through community
approaches, etc,

Therefore the local population shall be involved to implement the DDS by the extent of their
abilities. The local population shall have on annual basis home Imihigo or performance contracts
regarding hygiene, socio-economic development, home security, home base investment, peace and
gender based harmony among others which will be instrumental in achieving the district priorities.
It shall also be mobilized to exploit opportunities of interventions and ensure the suitability of the
projects

5.4.Coordination mechanisms and information sharing amongst the stakeholders

The coordination mechanism that shall be employed during this DDS implementation process has
some new elements which were not in the previous one. Joint district-partners planning,
monitoring and evaluation will be employed. Information of the progress shall be shared through
JADF. Each Sector shall monitor the incorporation of its priorities in annual action plans or

170
Imihigo, the districts will regularly report to the provincial steering committee about the progress,
emerging priorities in Gatsibo district and outstanding challenges. Bottom up planning from
district sectors through JADF at sector and cell level shall serve as a coordination and information
sharing mechanism.

5.5.Risk mitigation strategies

One of the likely risks mitigation are:

 The scattering of development partners’ efforts. Effective and better organization of JADFs at
the district, sector and cell level is to be under taken to mitigate against this risk.
 Man power turnover was by far the biggest challenge in the previous DDP. In order to
minimize this, capacity building shall be ensured, monitory motivation of the district staff by
use of district revenue as by the laws shall be used, and good working conditions especially at
sectors, cells and villages are to be ensured through the construction of offices, and their
equipment and non-monetary support. Besides this, the district will ensure that more competent
man power is recruited in line with the new district structure as means become available.
 Non ownership of the DDS interventions and their sustainability challenges. While poverty
reduction was a priority in the last DDS as an example, it is not clear if the social protection
programs stopped today, the beneficiaries would not sink back into poverty. This DDS is
prepared therefore with this benchmark. Therefore locals shall be mobilized and involved in
the implementation of the DDS and in the evaluation process. Intervention shall be followed
by impact assessment.
 Limited financial resources: the global economy has been since 2007 constantly moving into
recession and there is no indication that the situation is improving either. Gatsibo district is
being depend on the development partners and government grants, this is a likely risk.
Therefore innovations, use of home grown solutions , engagement of the private sector using
the PP approach, proper coordination, improved PFM shall be used to ensure better use of
limited resources.
 Sustainability and environmental issues should also be taken into account during the
implementation of this DDS. The District should therefore, ensure that Environmental Impact
Assessments (EIA) and/or Environmental Management Plans (EMP) are always carried out
for development projects as required

171
5.6.Communication and marketing strategy for the District

The implementation of DDS will involve a number of stakeholders or actors who need to be
informed and communicated on a regular basis about the progress against DDS implementation as
well as challenges therein. The effective communication and marketing during implementation of
DDS will enhance planning, organizing, leading and control mechanism for the delivery of
District’s objectives.

Key communication and marketing mechanisms to be used include the following;

 Ensure participation of all District stakeholders in annual planning and monitoring of the
implementation of the set annual priorities.
 Use of structured District council and JADF meetings to communicate to the members
about the implementation status of DDS.
 Use of community outreach assemblies to communicate the progress against DDS before
citizens in a bid to rise up their role and involvement in implementation.
 Disseminate progress reports for DDS implementation via District website and enhance the
use of social media to market the District activities.
 Work closely with media (radio, televisions and newspapers) to inform the public about
District activities and DDS implementation status.
 Use of District and sector level coordinating committee meetings as a mechanism to discuss
bout District development progress and challenges.

172
CHAPTER VI: MONITORING AND EVALUATION

6.1.Introduction
The implementation of this DDS will require a closed monitoring and evaluation system. This will
be performed by a joint action of different actors both internal and external. However, the
assessment or monitoring and evaluation of level of implementation of DDSs' Projects allow
determining whether all Projects planned in DDSs are aligned to planned schedule of planned
activities, and it will assess whether projects of DDS being producing the desired impacts.
In this regards, monitoring and evaluation will help Gatsibo District as follows:
1. To learn from experiences to improve practices and activities in the future DDSs;

2. To have internal and external accountability of the resources used and the results obtained
in the spirit of Socio-transformation of District and entire Population;

3. To take informed decisions on the future initiatives, in regards of strategic projects to the
Districts Authorities, and District’s council;

4. To promote empowerment of beneficiaries of the initiatives.

5. Not only have these, but also, the evaluation of implementation assessed, as systematically
and objectively as possible, a completed projects (or a phase of an ongoing project that has
been completed). Evaluations appraise data and information that inform strategic decisions,
thus improving the project in the future DDSs.

6. At the end, the evaluations will help the District to draw conclusions about five main
aspects of the intervention:

a) Relevance

b) Effectiveness

c) Efficiency

d) Impact

e) Sustainability

Information gathered in relation to these aspects during the monitoring process will provide the
basis for the evaluative analysis and the catch-up to the remaining projects to attain 2018-2024
targets planned in Districts Development Strategies, and in NST1.

173
6.2. Methodology that will be used to monitor and evaluate DDS

Monitoring and evaluation need to establish a clear template with the indicators and means of
verifications that have already set.
For this reason, the following is the template and the Schedule for monitoring and evaluation of
the implementation of DDSs’ Projects of Gatsibo District:
6.3.How to Assess District’s DDS?

 To ask all Departments and Partners of the District under implementation of DDS’s
Projects to show the progress of approved DDSs priorities related to their domains.
 To ask the District’s staff in different departments and Authorities if they did strategies
they intended to do on DDS.

The overall goal of assessing a DDS Document is to determine how well it has been
implemented (including, who, what, when, where, and how activities were accomplished), and
know the gap compared to the planned Projects and completed projects.

The process will include two phases:

 Ongoing monitoring of trends that may be impacting the progress, or lack of progress,
towards goals. This will include identifying individual goals and objectives that are
progressing well according to the plan, and those that are falling short, and suggesting any
actions or adjustments that may be needed for the plan to succeed.

 A final evaluation after the plan is concluded to determine overall success and impact. This
stage will be supposed to be conducted by end of June 2024.

6.4.Role of internal actors

All Units under implementation of related priorities will retrieve required information and submit
a clear report to the Executive Secretary. The later will consolidate this report according to the
progress of DDS and present it to the JADF and District council. However, this M&E is chaired
by the Mayor, Vice-Mayor in charge of Economic affairs and Executive secretary of the district in
their respective duties. Directors of different departments will make the annual action plans and
related performance contracts (Imihigo) and ensure execution in their respective domains and
Clusters. In addition, they will make a progress report and achievement reports and submitted them
to the District Executive Secretary. This will permit the determination of the effectiveness and
efficiency of planned activities. The success of this DDS is based on the commitment of all
involved implementers, ie District’s Officials, Community as beneficiaries and their internal and
external stakeholders.

174
In this regards, the Gatsibo District will put on place and institutionalize a Management Review
Process (MRP), and Measuring and Monitoring Process (M&MP) steps. These steps will help
Gatsibo District to make a review on any priority captured into the DDS toward achievements to
bridge the gap compared to the baseline and the targeted achievements in terms of time and
beneficiaries, since it has socio-economic impacts. The failure to follow these steps, it will be
affected the real results and timeline of said plans or intended outputs and outcomes.
6.5.Role of external actors
Central Government through its respective ministries especially MINECOFIN and MINALOC and
other institutions will ensure the implementation of DDS in the whole country. Moreover, they
will ensure the availability as required. The Province will ensure the execution of planned activities
of the districts through Approved Budget and Signed District Performance Contracts. It will
analyze the reports submitted from the District and recommend or advise accordingly in order to
align the reported achievements and an intended Outputs mentioned into the DDS.
NGOs and other partners will contribute technically and financially in the implementation of the
DDS. Moreover, they will provide the required information regarding integrated activities and
submit relevant reports to JADF. The latter will moderate the exchange between partners and
executive committee.

6.6.Reporting system
Different reports under the DDS will be done both by soft and hard copies. However, in order to
ensure the authenticity of data, only hard copies will be considered as official and will be stored
by the concerned institutions. The reporting channel will vary accordingly the played role by
different actors. The District ensures the integration of all planned activities into District Annually
actions, District Budget and Stakeholders Plans. Each stakeholder has to report officially to the
District implemented priority. The District consolidates quarterly, Midi-term and annually the
execution reports and submits these related reports to the District Council, Province, Ministries
and other responsible public institutions.
A graph can be proposed here to illustrate the reporting system.

Note that: The District with the support of MINECOFIN and MINALOC shall develop formats for the reports.
As we prepare to monitor and evaluate the progress of the DDS, there will be a need for us to ask ourselves the following questions:

1. Who prepares the monitoring report? As mentioned above, it is the responsibility of the District Executive Committee to produce the M&E
report. However, the officer in charge of monitoring and evaluation in the District shall prepare the reports on behalf of the Executive committee

177
 and submit them to the Executive Secretary for subsequent submission to other levels. However, it should be noted that the M&E reports
submitted to higher levels are properties of the District and therefore, shall be fully owned by the District Executive Committee.
2. When are the M&E reports prepared and submitted? There are three reports to be prepared: The monthly M&E report prepared for the
consumption of the District Executive Committee to help them follow implementation progress of the DDS, Quarterly reports submitted to the
District Council through its bureau, JADF through its committee at the District, the Province, MINECOFIN and MINALOC. These reports
shall be prepared and submitted every quarter i.e. every three months. There shall also be annual reports to the District Council, JADF, the
Province, MINECOFIN and MINALOC to show the progress of the DDS for the whole year. The deadline for the submission of the reports
shall be the 15th of the month proceeding the period for which the report is about.
3. To whom are the M&E reports submitted? The M&E reports shall be submitted to the District Executive Committee through the Executive
Secretary, the Council through its bureau, JADF through its representative at the District, the Province, MINECOFIN and MINALOC.
4. How will data (District indicators) be stored and retrieved? Initially, the M&E data e.g. indicators shall be stored manually in the printed
hard copies and filed in the department of planning and M&E to serve as backups. The data shall also be kept in excel sheets filed in folders
and stored in the PCs of the department. However, with time, when the M&E system of the District is computerized which should be the ultimate
aim of the District at some future time, the data should be stored and retrieved electronically.
5. How will reports be stored? The reports shall be stored manually in the manual files as backups but shall also be stored electronically in the
computers and retrieved when the need arises

6. What will be the role of the JADF in M&E? Although JADF is not a line structure on District’s organization chart, it exists as a supporting
structure and its role in the development of the District is very important. Members of JADF meet quarterly and it has a committee and an
employee of the District to coordinate its activities on daily basis. The District shall submit Quarterly and annual reports to JADF committee
for the committee to study the reports and react on them during their quarterly and annual meetings. Their inputs shall be very crucial in the
elaboration and implementation of the DDS, since their interventions are part and parcel of the District’s interventions.

7. What is the evaluation plan for the DDS? Annual evaluation shall be conducted for shorter activities whose implementation can be completed
in one year. This evaluation shall be conducted by an independent organization to ensure un biased results. Hopefully, IPAR shall continue to
carry out the evaluation as they have shown impartiality and credibility in their work. It must be noted, however, that for the DDS as a whole,
there shall be a mid-term evaluation which shall be conducted midway during implementation, precisely, after three years of implementation
and final evaluation which shall be conducted after full implementation of the DDS i.e. at the end of the sixth year. The most fundamental
reason of carrying out mid-term evaluation is to assess the progress made midway between a program’s commencement and its presumed end
with a view to making corrections and necessary adjustments to achieve the best results possible. More often than not, after a midterm evaluation,
178
reprogramming of interventions is done to address any issues that could have hampered the progress of the program during implementation so
that the program can be on schedule again. On the other hand, a final evaluation is conducted to assess the impact of the program on the
beneficiaries. End of tem or final evaluation of the DDS therefore, shall be conducted to assess its Socio-Economic impact on the citizens of
Gatsibo District, document lessons learnt and challenges so that they can be used to inform the designing of the proceeding (next) DDS.

CHAPTER VII: COSTING AND FINANCING OF THE DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

7.1.Introduction

The implementation of strategic plan requires resources, both financial and human resources. In this regards, this chapter presents the needed
financial resources for the implementation or execution of the planned DDS projects referring to the available sources of funds including the
mobilized funds from various District Stakeholders such as Private and Non-Governmental Organizations as well. Under this part, it will be also
shown in detail the estimated budget of the main DDS projects by showing their amount of money that will be needed at each financial year
under the DDS implementation period for the district projects execution.

The implementation of the DDS projects will need the collaboration and cooperation of all District Stakeholders through resource mobilization.
The following main types of sources of revenues will be considered during Budgeting process and allocation of funds for implementation of
respective projects:

 Government Funds (Earmarked transfers, Transfers from other GoR Agencies, and external grants)
 District own revenues
 Local and international donors
 Private sources
 And other sources

179
 The cost of the Gatsibo DDS is a sum of total annual costs of all six years. All the outputs in the logframe have been costed on annual basis to
produce aggregated costs for the whole implementation period. Refer to sensitivity and timeline of implementation, some outputs implementation
plan schedule are less than six years while others will cover six years to implement them. The costing shall be done on “per unit basis” where it
is possible to define outputs in terms of units and “whole project basis” where it is difficult to break an output into units and therefore for simplicity
purpose the output is considered as a project whose implementation in different years shall be done in parts or percentages.

The costing currency is expressed in Rwandan Francs. The total estimated cost of the DDS for Six years (2018/19 to 2023/24 fiscal years) is One
Hundred Seven Billions Twenty Millions Two Hundred Thousands Rwandan francs(107,020,200,000. Frw). The table below is summarizing
the DDS Cost in respective Pillars.
