Analysis of the decentralization of environmental management in Rwanda

The aim of this case study is to draw a picture about the present situation and highlight constraints
and challenges to the implementation of National Environment Policy (NEP) in Rwanda by
identifying limits and prospects for improving the ongoing implementation process. we found that
environmental management at the local level is subject to the compounded effects of the obstacles
faced by the local administration, the complex nature of environmental management, and the lack
of assimilation of environmental issues at the national level. Environmental conditions suffer as a
result, and there is a need for substantial modifications to improve the situation. Improved
functions should lead to the enhancement of the local environment through: Higher investments
from the regulated community subjected to more targeted enforcement, Private investments in
infrastructure through the privatization of functions traditionally borne by the District, Pollution
prevention through forward-looking planning, Greater efficiency in using available resources and
justified requests to the central budget / Environmental Sciences / M. Sc. (Environmental Management)
