Summary
Making Akagera River navigable through the construction of canals, locks, river cut offs, river improvement works (removal of rocks, islands), and river bank protection
Description
This project aims to make Akagera River navigable through the construction of canals, locks, river cut offs, river improvement works (removal of rocks, islands), and river bank protection. The entire project covers 260 km of river, from Lake Victoria to Kagitumba. River Akagera provides transport alternative that is crucial in facilitating regional trade between Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania, which will in turn enhance regional integration.
