4 Project Background The overall objective of the Partnership on Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES) is to promote sustainable development through the implementation of natural capital accounting that focuses on the value and role of natural resources in development strategies, policies and investment decisions. This initiative aims to help developing countries to pursue sustainable development by integrating natural capital issues into development planning and monitoring systems. The Partnership assists Governments to implement Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) tools and expand systems of national accounts to include the important natural resource stocks, flows and values. These accounts will support development of indicators of development trends, sustainability and macroeconomic performance that allow decision makers to monitor the real contribution of natural capital to national economic development. These tools can help to better measure and analyse natural resource opportunities, constraints, and trade-offs on the path to sustainability. Rwanda is part of the WAVES global partnership which includes a number of other countries and international organizations facilitated by the World Bank. The approach for implementing the NCA in Rwanda has four parts: 1) Technical work on water and water accounts; 2) Capacity building workshops and on-the-job training; 3) Policy analysis focused on key issues based on Government demand; and 4) Communications and outreach to stakeholders on NCA progress and results. The development of land and water accounts is being done by providing technical assistance and inputs to a Technical Working Group, as well as training, to assemble the first natural capital accounts for land and water. In parallel, Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is developing ecosystem accounts for selected areas with assistance from WAVES and USGS. To enhance the analysis and usefulness of the land, water and ecosystem accounts, the Government of Rwanda and the project now requires updated land cover maps that are comparable and consistent with similar maps developed in 1990, 2000 and Ecosystem accounts have heavily relied on land cover datasets developed for Rwanda by the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD), through the SERVIR project, for the years 1990, 2000, and To ensure that there is consistency in application of methodologies and product development, RCMRD will collaborate with RNRA to develop the 2015 Land Cover Map. Objective The objectives of the 2015 Land Cover mapping activity include: 1
5 Inception of the project as well as conduct an Institutional Capacity Assessment Development of the Land Cover Maps in partnership with RNRA Training and Capacity Building Dissemination of the methodologies and products The specific objective of the Inception Workshop was to bring together relevant stakeholders giving them an opportunity to understand the objectives of the project and serve as a sharing platform for other activities done by RCMRD, RNRA, and World Bank (NCA). Overview of Workshop Introduction The Workshop was officially opened by the RNRA Deputy Director General for Lands and Mapping, Ms. Grace Nishimwe. She indicated the eagerness of RNRA to work together on this activity and the opportunity it provides for in the institution to gain skills required to update successive maps if required to do so. Further introductory remarks on the value of the collaboration between RCMRD, RNRA, and a number of other institutions in Rwanda were given by Dr. Mugo on behalf of RCMRD. SERVIR Dr Mugo gave a presentation on the role of SERVIR in providing important information for development decision making. SERVIR is a joint initiative of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to help developing countries improve environmental management and resilience to climate change by strengthening the capacity of governments and other key stakeholders to integrate Earth Observation information and geospatial technologies into development decision-making. RNRA Eric Nsabimana gave a brief presentation of RNRA s mandate and organizational structure, stating that institution is mandated to: 1. Implement national policies, laws, strategies, regulations and government resolutions in matters relating to the promotion and protection of natural resources; 2
6 2. Make follow up and implement international conventions that Rwanda has ratified on matters relating to the conservation of natural resources; 3. Advice the Government on appropriate mechanisms for conservation of natural resources and investments opportunities; 4. Register land, issuing and keeping land authentic deeds and any other information relating to land of Rwanda; 5. Ensure proper geological data and their respective maps; 6. Provide technical advice on the proper use of natural resources; 7. Make follow up and supervise activities relating to proper management, promotion and valuation of natural resources; 8. Rehabilitate and conserve damaged natural resources in the country; 9. Promote activities relating to investment and added value in the activities of use and exploitation of natural resources in Rwanda; 10. Initiate research and study on natural resources and to publish the results; 11. Institute regulations, guidelines and appropriate mechanisms for management, use and conservation of natural resources and ensuring their implementation; 12. Establish cooperation and collaboration with other regional and international institutions with an aim of harmonising the performance and relations on matters relating to management of natural resources. RNRA comprises 4 departments: Land and Mapping Integrated Water Resources Geology and Mines Forestry and Nature Conservation Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) The overview of the Natural Capital Accounting program in Rwanda was given by Dr Uwera Claudine, highlighting the contextual background that brought the need for developing the 2015 Land Cover map. In the current status of the Waves program, data for the epochs previously developed by SERVIR was being used to feed into the NCA model and Land use data for 2015 was available but the corresponding 2015 Land cover was missing. To fill this gap, the RNRA and the World Bank reached out to RCMRD requested for collaboration in developing the 2015 Land Cover map. RCMRD previous Mapping Activities RCMRD s Land Cover mapping efforts for the last 5 years in the Eastern and Southern Africa Region were highlighted in two major projects. 3
7 The Project on Land Cover Mapping and Capacity Building for the Development of Green House Gas Inventories was implemented over a period of three years, across nine countries with varying landscapes and characteristics. Its main aim was to produce baseline land cover maps, as well as build the capacity of the participating countries for future mapping tasks. The main purpose of the maps was to support the development of the GHG Inventories. The maps were required as an input to Agriculture Land Use (ALU) tool, which integrates data from different sources while relying on the land cover data for the Agriculture Forestry and Land Use (AFOLU) sector in estimations of greenhouse gases. The System for Land based Emissions Estimation in Kenya (SLEEK) Land Cover Change Monitoring Program (LCC) was set up to provide a time series of accurate land cover maps for Kenya, and maps of annual land cover change, by processing of remote sensing imagery. The aim was to create a sustainable and technically rigorous program for provision of land cover and change information required for national land based greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting under the SLEEK program. Work Plan for the 2015 Mapping A work plan detailing the tasks and the respective timelines is presented in the table below. Activity Description Schedule Status Inception Workshop Create awareness of the onset of the project 3 rd October 2016 Done Institute Capacity Assessment Conduct analysis of the resources available within RNRA- 4 th to 5 th October 4 th to 5 th October 2016 Done Training and Capacity Building 17 Two weeks activity to build the capacity of selected -28 th October Done 2016 staff on Land Cover Mapping Techniques Development of Land Cover Maps Data Assembly and Fieldwork Review and Feedback Dissemination Use of Remote Sensing Techniques to develop Land cover maps from Landsat images for 2015 obtained in the dry season.

8 RCMRD, RNRA and World Bank Afternoon Deliberations The afternoon discussions between RCMRD, RNRA and World Bank were held to clarify the grey areas of the project as far as the expectations and provision is concerned. Deliberations and scheduling of the interviews for the key persons to be interviewed for the ICA was done. Further discussions on the scheduling of the work plan was also done. It s in these discussions that resolutions were made to the effect that: RCMRD would proceed as scheduled; Budget for the Training which was to be held at La Palme in Musanze would be funded by RCMRD pending a contract revision by World Bank. This has already be done. The training was held from 17 th to 28 th October. No logistical challenges were noted in the course of the training; Training invitation would be extended to participants within RNRA and other stakeholders as well; RCMRD would pay for the Inception and Dissemination workshops; Staff requirements for fieldwork activity was noted and RNRA proposed the possible staff to participate in this activity; Two RNRA staff would be assigned on full time basis to the project and the numbers could be increased upwards when required for specific activities i.e. Fieldwork; ICA will be held in the successive two days from 4 th to 5 th October. Appointed RNRA staff would coordinate availability of additional interviewees. Conclusion The workshop was a success. The morning session was more to make the relevant stakeholders aware of the undertaking of the 2015 Land Cover Mapping activity by RCMRD and RNRA and understand the reasons why this was required. The afternoon session focused on conducting of the ICA, and clarified a couple of issues on implementation, scheduling and responsibilities. It was agreed that the ICA report would be submitted as a separate report to RNRA. The training schedule was confirmed to remain as had been communicated. 5
