The assignment requires the update of Rwanda’s Irrigation Master Plan (IMP) and the identification of suitable land for irrigation purposes with the aim of supporting new investments. The updating will take into consideration the changing dynamics and the introduction of new irrigation technologies, the new land use covers and policies, the developing and altered national policy thrusts by incorporating the findings of the Water Resources Master Plan of 2013.Following the inception of the IMP (2010) several key issues have occurred concerning some of the data provided in IMP (2010), such as the current land use covers, the estimated irrigation potential, and the figures of it being in-consistent compared to the Water Resources Master Plan. The requirement to update the old IMP becomes impera-tive considering the inconsistency of the data provided in several reports and studies and the necessity to provide a comprehensive and harmonized framework for investments in irrigation development.Thus, the objective of the consultancy is to review, update and improve the 2010 Rwanda irrigation master plan and to prepare an associated investment framework to support investments in irrigation development. The plan will have to be technically feasible, environmentally and socially sustainable.
