  1. UP-DATING THE RWANDA IRRIGATION MASTER PLAN TERMS OF REFERENCE MINAGRI December, 2016

  2. INTRODUCTION • Rwanda recognizes the importance of irrigation in the development of the country as stipulated from different documents: Vision 2020, EDPRS-II, PSTA-III, Irrigation Policy and Action Plan (2014) • Rwanda Irrigation Master Plan inaugurated in 2010 to support decision making by: • Identifying the most favourable areas to establish irrigation water infrastructure • Prioritizing distribution of irrigation water • Establishing irrigated agriculture in small-, medium- and large-scale projects on hillsides, marshlands and other topographically suitable areas.

  3. Nyagatare - Potential Irrigation Areas • Total irrigation potential: 39,650 ha • Dams: 486 ha • Rivers: 15,193 ha • Marshlands: 23,971 ha • Total irrigated land: 4,235 ha (Kagitumba, Matimba, Muvumba-2 to 8, Rwangingo-Karangazi, SSIT sites) • Available F/S: 13,000 ha (Muvumba multi-purpose dam, Warufu, Gabiro)

  4. Current Status in irrigation development • The development cost is estimated between $10,000 - $15,000/Ha for hillside irrigation, and between $3,000 and $5,000/Ha for marshland irrigation MINAGRI 2014

  5. Current Status in irrigation development MINAGRI 2014

  6. Challenges in Irrigation Development • High cost of irrigation development (i.e hillside projects) • Lack of clear investment portfolios in irrigation development (E.g. Morocco: Green fund of $300 M that contribute up-to 70% of agri-products exports) • Small and fragmented private lands not attractive to big investors • Inadequate capacity within public and private sector

  7. Challenges in Irrigation Development • Lack of irrigation culture within communities • Undeveloped and inefficient marketing chain • Low improvement of existing irrigation infrastructures • Poor water efficiency • Poor governance of the water user organizations (WuOs)

  8. Subsequent need for updating the existing IMP of 2010 • The Rwanda Land Use Master plan published in 2010 • The Water Resources Master Plan published in 2014 • The recent irrigation baseline survey conducted in 2016 highlighted the current irrigation status and challenges in the sector • There are also existing new policies and strategies on Environmental legislation, climate change

  9. Updating the existing IMP: Objectives Updating the IMP aims: • To provide a comprehensive and harmonized framework for investments in irrigation development • To provide an update of the assessment of irrigation potential, disaggregated by Water Resources Area and irrigation typology • To provide an investment framework based on an elaboration of a typology of irrigation categories, prioritization, implementation arrangements and required capacities • To provide general guidelines for investment planning and environmental and social safeguards.

  10. Updating the existing IMP: Objectives The plan shall include specific programs and physical projects that will be implemented Specific objectives include: • To verify potential areas for irrigation development opportunities in order to enable increased understanding for priorities of such development; • To update the mapping out all potential areas for irrigation and establish the linkages that could enhance the profitability of the proposed irrigation interventions; and • To develop prioritized irrigation development framework which will include time bound action plan and strategies for use by government and development partners as well as private sector and non-state actors.

  11. Scope of the work Prepare a comprehensive status of the irrigation sector in Rwanda. This shall include: • Situation analysis, • Development of a Master Plan for Irrigation Development and investment framework, • Typology of Irrigation Opportunities, • Identification and appraisal of Irrigation Improvement Opportunities. • Develop a web based Monitoring and Evaluation system for the irrigation sector and the investment framework, based on currently developed M&E systems in the sector.

  12. Methodology Methodology shall include but not limited to the following: • Place irrigation within an overall context of sustainable land management, following Rwandan policies • Ensure that the Plan includes Inventory Development, that covers review and identify potential irrigable lands, assemble available data, field survey and investigation, utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques and overlaying them on digital maps on District level, and country level; • Place irrigation in a context of overall sustainable water resource management; • Accounting for Climate change; • Ensuring that the Investment and Financing Plan is stakeholder and market led, Cost-benefit justified and Institutionally focused.

  13. Deliverables The consultant firm will be expected to submit the following deliverables: • Inception Report with clear Objectives and Context Report • Web-based Inventory and Database of irrigation potential in Rwanda • Proposed Irrigation Typology Report • Project Potential and Appraisal Methodology Report; • Proposed Master Plan Report including the Investment and Financing Plan • Draft and Final Action Plan • Final Completion Report • GIS Data base, fully installed on Client’s computers, and user manuals • Digital Maps showing various categories of irrigation potential • Satellite imagery of potential areas • Field Survey and Investigations data

  14. Personnel input The consultant firm shall be expected to comprise of a multi-disciplinary team of professionals including, but not limited to: • Team Leader: Shall be a Senior Water Resources Planning Specialist • Irrigation/Civil Engineers • Hydrologist • Agro-economist/Agribusiness Expert • Agronomist /Soil scientist • ESIA Expert • Institutional Specialist/Sociologist • Land Tenure Expert • GIS/Portal Database Developer

  15. Duration and organisation of the assignment • The entire assignment is expected to be implemented in a total of fifteen (15) calendar months with an estimated 75 person-months. • The assignment shall be technically coordinated by the Rwanda Agriculture Board in the Ministry of Agriculture
