National Strategy for Green Growth and Climate Resilience

Objective
- Support the implementation of the “National Strategy for Green Growth and Climate Resilience” launched in 2011, in the area of urbanization and local green economy
GGGI Approach
for Green Urbanization and Promotion of Green Secondary Cities with Green Economic
Opportunities
Fixed Goal of 35% Urbanisation Rate by 2020

Which urbanization do we want to achieve? 35%: Quantitative Goal fixed. What about Qualitative Goal?
Quality of urbanization matters!

Risk of the Urbanisation without Growth
10
No country has ever reached middle income status without urbanization. Urbanization and growth do not always go together. An increase in the size of the urban population has not necessarily been associated with growth.
11
Secondary Cities for more Efficient Use of National Resources
Rwanda needs an environmentally sustainable and economically attractive urbanization throughout the whole country
To avoid mono-centric structure : promote sustainable urban network throughout the country
• Connection to Kigali and Secondary Cities
• Local Service Provider for Rural Area
(Imidugudu)
• East African Hub
• National Growth Engine

Chance for Rwanda!
23
Urbanization is inevitable, necessaryfor achieving high growth and high income, and will be
accelerated in Rwanda
Actions affecting land-use and spatial development are among the most critical in achieving low-carbon growth.
Once cities grow and define their urban form, it is almost impossible to retrofit them as the built environment is
largely irreversible and very costly to modify.
“Rwanda is still a low urbanized country and has a unique opportunity to set the standards for sustainable urban
development that most African countries fail to do at the moment. The next ten years will be crucial if Rwanda will be a
success story in this respect or join the others that have flopped” (Rwanda Land Use and Development
Master Plan)
