INTRODUCTION
In March 2018, a field survey conducted
by a multisectoral team made up of the
CoK, the RDF (RF), RHA and RFA indicated
that 13,670 households (HHs) were living
in informal settlements on slopes equal
to or greater than 30% in High Risk
Zones (HRZs) of CoK on the hilltops of
Jali, Rebero and Kigali Mountains.

HHs from Mt Kigali taking a big

proportion of 55.4% of all surveyed HHs

The intent was to find appropriate ways

to resettle the affected 13,670 HHs
as well as to restore the degraded
landscapes on the mentioned mountains
with reforestation

5
 Initial Solution:

Phase I
4,442 households in critical conditions be
resettled at KARAMA site (39Ha)
But with a prohibitive cost of
130 billion Rwf

Phase II
The remaining households shall be resettled
in their neighborhoods by upgrading
existing informal settlements of Mpazi (for Mt
Kigali), Gatsata (for Mt Jali) and Gashyekero
(for Mt Rebero)

Relocation and resettlement approaches

have been subject to discussions in various
meetings between May and October 2018.
The ongoing Karama Project originates from
the outcomes of those meetings  Resettle
240 HHs at a cost of 8 Billion Rwf (for houses
construction, related Infrastructure and
social amenities)
