Development planning in high-priority areas for biodiversity conservation and tourism development

The World Bank has supported Rwanda with financing from the PROGREEN initiative to improve sustainable management of the Congo-Nile Ridge (CNR) landscape. Despite past investments in parts of the CNR landscape, unsustainable land-use and management practices continue. These lead to, among other results, biodiversity loss, accelerated run-off and frequent floods. These, in turn, cause losses of lives, livelihoods, natural capital and infrastructure. Investments in addressing unsustainable land-use practices have often been fragmented, and have not led to permanent improvement in the situation. This is particularly true for biodiversity conservation planning.
