Erosion Control Success Stories and Challenges in the Context of Sustainable Landscape Management, Rwanda Experience

Abstract: The Government of Rwanda sets up a conducive policy environment to invest in several development initiatives. Agriculture sector as the main contributor in the economic development received supports to sustainably manage Rwandan hilly landscape, dominantly ranging from 5 to 55% slope gradient. Intensive erosion control interventions confronted with different approaches have been introduced in the country such as participatory landscape management, (participatory) integrated watershed management and site-locate… Show more

“…But the soil erosion observed in the RRW, compared to soil erosion observed on bare erosion plots, falls into the range of soil erosion found by other researchers in Rwanda. The studies conducted by these researchers found soil erosion ranging from 10 up to 700 t ha −1 year −1 at different slope gradients (König, 1992;Roose and Ndayizigiye, 1997;Rutebuka, 2019). This proves again that the RUSLE model integrated with GIS is an efficient tool to estimate soil erosion in tropical watersheds.…”
