This thesis was aimed at the development of a Geographical Information System (GIS) based model to support the Rwanda Land Use and Development Master Plan. Developing sustainable land management is the main task of this master plan. Stakeholder's involvement was of key importance. Their demands sh...

The SWAT model is a spatially distributed hydrological model that was designed to assist water resource managers in assessing the impacts of climate change, land use, and management approaches on water resources [34,35]. This model has been widely employed by researchers for watershed modeling and...
Thanks to a new website called the National Land Use Planning Portal (NLUPP), Rwandans connected to the Internet now have easy access to land-use plans and other spatial data on the webEsri
The WHO has repeatedly emphasised the importance of integrating a set of public health measures, such as the use of safe water, environmental management, improving sanitation and public health education focusing on behavioural changes, into the MDA programme as part of the control measures against ...
By Friday evening, however, the tracking page still said the status of my application was pending. I was forced to put off my flight scheduled for Saturday. Meanwhile, I also sought help from the live-chat section on Irembo.com, the country's e-government portal. Irembo means "gateway"...
Understanding the patterns and drivers of these changes is critical for developing effective policies and practices for sustainable land management and protection of water resources. Keywords: LULC; non-point source pollution; Nyabarongo river; SWAT; Rwanda...
Previous studies suggested that severe soil erosion in Rwanda, like in other East African countries, could be associated with unsustainable agricultural land management increased by high population densities [19–21]. However, the magnitude and the spatial pattern of the agriculturally-induced soil ...
This study’s findings can provide valuable insights for land use planners and water resource managers in developing fair land use and water resource management policies for the entire region, enabling them to make well-informed decisions. Keywords: LULC; GIS; CA–Markov; Nyabarongo River; Rwanda...
Rapid urban expansion and agricultural intensification on a highly vulnerable terrain of Rwanda with a mean steep slope of 22% and mean rainfall intensity of 1116 mm/year (1990–2016), without proper land use management strategies, can increase the volume of rainwater runoff and its associated imp...
