Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting in High Density Areas

PROJECT SUMMARY: 
The targeted Districts are recurrently threatened by flooding. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is identified among other mitigating measures.

Four types of interventions are proposed in this project according to category of beneficiaries:

1. Strengthening the existing loan scheme on RWH facilities;

2. Supporting a subsidy & loan system basing on Ubudehe categorization;

3. Disseminating very low cost (artisan) RWH techniques for rural poor households;

Constructing RWH systems for selected public buildings and integrated collective household systems.

FONERWA WINDOW/S: 
Window 2: Research & Development and Technology Transfer and Implementation. Entry points: (i) Water Storage, Conservation and irrigation technologies and (ii) Disaster Risk Reduction.
KEY PROJECT OUTPUTS: 
Output 1: Effective loan/subsidy system on rainwater harvesting facilities established and sustainably supported in the targeted Districts

Output 2: Public and collective rainwater harvesting systems demonstrated and ready for up scaling

Output 3: Low cost and artisan technologies promoted and adopted by families in rural area of the targeted Districts

Output 4: Project grant efficiently managed and coordinated
