Rwanda Poverty and Environment Initiative ( PEI ) Phase II (June 2007 – December 2009)

The Rwanda Poverty and Environment Initiative aims to enhance the contribution of sound environmental management to poverty reduction, sustainable economic growth and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Led by the Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA), Ministry of Lands, Environment, Forests, Water and Mines (MINITERE), the intended outcome of the Rwanda PEI Phase II is the integration of environment into national policy and district planning, policy and budget processes to implement the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy. Phase II of the Rwanda PEI starts from June 2007 to December 2009.

Phase II has five main outputs:

Output 1: Improved capacity within key ministries and institutions to understand and analyse links between poverty and environment

and to integrate environment into policymaking, planning and budgets;

Output 2: Improved capacity at district level to understand and analyse links between poverty and environment and to integrate

environment into development planning;

Output 3: Increased awareness and more effective participation of stakeholders in environmental policy and planning processes

at both district and national level;

Output 4: Improved national funding levels for investing in environmental sustainability;

Output 5: Improved capacity for monitoring poverty and environment linkages at both national and district level.

Environment is integrated at national and district planning, policy and budget processes to implement the EDPR

Expected Output(s)/Annual Target(s)
