Title : Elaboration of Rutsiro and Burera Green District Land Use Plans with detailed implementation strategies
Procurement No. : 100011990
Process : RFP
Description : GGGI Rwanda Country Office is inviting eligible firms/entities to submit their proposals for the following scope of work:
Important note: The Consultant must be established in Rwanda or demonstrate its permanent presence during the duration of the assignment
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
Rwanda’s socio-economic development is dependent on the environment and natural resources such as land, water, air, minerals and biodiversity . Rwanda aspires to become an upper middle-income country by 2035 and high-income country by 2050 with:
a. an urbanization rate of 70%,
b. 10.3% of land area protected to maintain biodiversity,
c. 30% of land covered by forests, and
d. net zero carbon economy by 2050.
Based on National Land Use and Development Master Plan (NLUDMP) 2020 - 2050, the urban population is projected at 7.5Mio (35%) on a coverage area of 897 km2 by 2035 and 15.4Mio (70%) on the coverage area of 1470 km2 by 2050. The rapid urban population growth coupled with the proliferation of unplanned human settlements have a major impact on land use, including loss of agricultural land, loss of biodiversity, and encroachment to the wetlands, for the benefit of housing development. In addition, unplanned settlements lead to inefficient delivery of urban infrastructure and basic services.
For a climate-resilient and net-zero economy target to be achieved, there is a need to ensure that the built-up area is well planned, efficiently managed, with established and functional administrative and development management plans to avoid conflict with other land uses, through efficient human settlement planning and development.
OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
In this regard, GGGI seeks to engage a competent consulting firm (hereinafter referred to as “Consultant”) established in Rwanda or demonstrating its permanent presence during the duration of the assignment to tender for the assignment of elaboration of Rutsiro and Burera Green District Land Use Plans with detailed implementation strategies, clustering and integrating synergies of urban and rural areas into one plan. The needed competences are but not limited to expertise and experience in large scale strategic and integrated spatial and socio-economic planning, sustainable land use planning and development, climate resilient human settlement planning and design,

Specific objectives are set as follows:
1. Document the history of spatial development and Review the existing Burera and Rutsiro District local land development plans and formulate a new spatial composition of the district built-up environment (conceptual plan) susceptible to promote the emergence of climate resilient human settlement based on:
