This Transitional Stabilisation Programme over October 2018 to December 2020 draws its policy thrust from Vision 2030. It focuses on stabilising the macro-economy, and the financial sector; introducing the necessary policy, and institutional reforms, to transform to a private sector-led economy; and launching quick-wins to stimulate growth.

The main goal of this plan is to transform the economy, reduce poverty, create jobs, maintain macro economic stability and restore the economy’s capacity to produce goods and services competitively.

The National Development Plan is a broad strategic framework. It sets out a coherent and holistic approach to confronting poverty and inequality based on six focused and interlinked priorities that include uniting South Africans around a common programmme, building capabilities, faster and more inclusive economic growth, citizens active in their own development, a capable and developmental state and leadership and responsibility throughout society.

This national development plan has three principal objectives: achieving quality and good life for all; good governance and the rule of law; and building a strong and resilient economy that can effectively withstand global competition. These objectives cover both economic and social issues such as education, health, the environment and increasing involvement of the people in working for their development. The thrust of these objectives is to attain sustainable development of the people.

The contingency plan relates to the western part of Rwanda mostly and Rwanda generally. The western part sits close to a region prone to eruption from two active volcanoes. It notes the eruption of one of the volcanoes in 2002, which although did not elicit lava flow into Rwanda, led to the influx of people into Rwanda. The plan thus seeks to beef up Rwanda’s preparedness and response systems towards any future occurrence. It clearly spells out the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders if such need arises.

The contingency plan, like all other contingency plans, aims to minimise the loss of lives and properties, as well as effects on the environment, that could arise as a result of uncertainty and poor preparations. This plan on earthquake covers activities to be effected in the case of an earthquake occurrence, based on history and geological activities, especially in the rift valley region. It also makes provisions for the aftermath effects of earthquakes; aftershocks, landslides, and fire outbreaks.

Terrorist attacks and incidents have become rampant in the world. They include explosive attacks, hostage-taking, chemical and biological attacks, and other terrorist attacks. The plan arises as a result of the perceived risky position of Rwanda, in terms of its regional position, regional security, and political background. It thus highlights the structures and processes crucial to ensure heightened preparedness and responsiveness to terrorist-related attacks.

This serves as the implementation of the fire safety response measures. It assesses the fire risks and ensures prompt response to fire incidents as they arise. “The contingencies contained therein are consistent with the areas of
delivery of fire services that are recommended for review by Rwanda National Police (co-lead), Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Natural Resources, Rwanda Defence forces, Ministry of Health, Rwanda National Police (Fire and Rescue Brigade), Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority, and the ministry of local government.

The ministerial instructions relate to the management of refugees and refugee camps. The activities prohibited in refugee camps include; political activities, biased or sectarian gatherings, military-related activities, neglect of parental duties, all activities without prior authorization, use of false identification, ownership or possession of any weapon, unlawful riots, drug use and trafficking, and theft of all forms.

The importance of family as a tool for social cohesion and social order is prominently recognised by the government of Rwanda. The national policy is to serve as a framework for monitoring and implementing programs to protect and support families in Rwanda.

Prevention and mitigation of storms are regularly reviewed due to the ubiquitous nature of storms (heavy rains, winds, thunder, hailstones) in all districts of Rwanda. The contingency plan analyses past occurrences, as a tool to aid better preparedness levels and heightened response systems. It also seeks to further strengthen institutional forces and create a clear action plan for all stakeholders.

The national contingency for drought plans to contribute towards effective systems for drought detection, response, reporting, and cross-sector collaboration. It is in response to the recent occurrence of drought in the country and will serve as a mid and long term effort at managing future occurrences.

The plan acknowledges the complexities accompanying the influx of population in a country. It points to influxes influenced by wars, social conflicts, and the various forms of natural calamities. It serves as a guideline for effective management of population influx and its accompanying issues to ensure the safety of both the host communities and migrating population.

The Rwanda national action plan builds on the implementation experiences of the previous action plan of 2009-2012. It is aligned with other national, regional, and international instruments, laws, and ratifications geared towards gender equality and women empowerment. Meaningful contribution of women in governance and all institutions is the objective of this plan.
