Kayonza Irrigation and Integrated Watershed Management Project (KWIIP2)

About this project

Kayonza Irrigation and Integrated Watershed Management Project (KIIWP) is a project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) implemented under the Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB) through a Single Project Implementation Unit of IFAD Funded Projects (SPIU-IFAD). The goal of KIIWP is to “Contribute to poverty reduction in the drought-prone Eastern Province of Rwanda”. The Project Development Objective is to “Improve food security and incomes of at least 40,000 rural households on a sustainable basis and build their climate resilience. The Project intervention area comprises nine drought-prone sectors of the twelve sectors in Kayonza District, namely Gahini, Kabare, Kabarondo, Murama, Murundi, Mwiri, Ndego, Ruramira and Rwinkwavu. The area has been selected on the basis of its high vulnerability to drought and high poverty and food insecurity levels. The National Strategic Food Reserve supported its population during past droughts. However, the area has a high untapped potential of water resources that, if fully mobilized, would significantly improve crop production, climate resilience, food security and nutrition. The Project will reach out to 40,000 rural households (180,000 members). Women will account for 50 percent of the beneficiaries, youth and young adults for 30 percent.
