Across the districts of Karongi, Muhanga, Nyamagabe, Huye, Nyaruguru, Gisagara, Nyagatare, Kirehe, Ngoma, and Bugesera, communities are increasingly affected by environmental degradation linked to poor road drainage systems, an assessment by Transparency International Rwanda (TI-Rwanda) has found.
Despite existing Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) requirements, the report showed that some road projects present design flaws, insufficient hydrological analysis, and weak construction supervision, leading to recurring drainage failures.
