Result
Outcome I: Restored, enhanced, and protected biodiversity for increased climate resilience in productive and protective landscapes. Under this outcome, - Mapping of roadsides for restoration together with district officials was done and a total of 518.14 hectares of roadsides in seven (7) districts was realized. Five tree species (Croton megalocarpus, croton, macrostachyus, marhkamia lutea, acacia kirkii, and podocarpus falcatus) were used in planting and these were selected in accordance with their strong resilience to semiarid regions, in total 582,271 native species were planted in all the seven districts in the Eastern Province. - 53 Community Vigilant Committees (CVCs) were also engaged and signed MoUs with local authorities. These CVCs will be responsible for following up on the restored roadsides, lakeshores, and riverbanks to ensure maintenance and avoid encroachment. The CVCs were also trained on how to use tree shelters or guards in protecting infant trees planted. - 4 dams in Rwamagana, 27.3 hectares of lakesides of Nasho & Muhazi in Kayonza as well as 50kms of Warufu River have been identified for restoration with native tree species. - Preliminary identification of 190.36 hectares of areas for establishment of native tree seed stands has been done, the final validation of these sites will be made after final identification of the areas for establishment of the biodiversity sanctas which is planned in the second year of the project implementation. - Regarding the sanctas establishment, the project has also engaged all the 7 districts and at least one site in each district has been identified and mapped for establishment of the biodiversity sanctum.
The main objective of the contribution is to contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation of ecosystems and population in the Eastern Province of Rwanda through enhanced community based biodiversity restoration and conservation over the protected and productive landscapes, while contributing to the green economy development. The key outcome objectives are Outcome 1: Restored, enhanced, and protected biodiversity for increased climate resilience in productive and protective landscapes Through the outcome, the project will restore and enhance biodiversity with the integration of 20 tree/shrubs species over 12.700 ha of productive and protective landscapes distributed across the Eastern Province, extending the geographic distribution of biodiversity supportive areas and enhancing biodiversity connectivity over the different productive and protected ecosystems. Outcome 2: Improved livelihood of community through biodiversity-based enterprises and developed value chains This outcome focuses on enhancing the role of biodiversity conservation in improving the livelihoods of communities in the project area by developing biodiversity-based enterprises and value chains that build on restored ecosystems and developed community biodiversity sancta from outcome 1 Outcome 3: Strengthened and coordinated community-based knowledge and National monitoring systems for biodiversity conservation under this outcome, the project aims to develop community-based management and monitoring frameworks by supporting mainstreaming biodiversity conservation in institutional and community development strategies, programs and action plans
