Ministerial Order N° 004/24/10/TC Establishing Land Use and Development Master Plan of Muhanga District.

The document outlines the Muhanga District Land Use and Development Master Plan (DLUP) for 2023-2050, which aims to allocate land efficiently across various uses while aligning with the National Land Use and Development Master Plan (NLUDMP) 2020-2050. Its primary objective is to promote sustainable social, economic, and environmental benefits through strategic land management. The broader context includes addressing the challenges posed by unsustainable resource use and ensuring that land allocation supports Rwanda's socio,economic development goals, particularly in the face of increasing population and urbanization pressures. The implementation plan for the DLUP involves a phased approach, with a focus on data collection, stakeholder consultation, and rigorous validation processes to ensure the plan's effectiveness. The document emphasizes the importance of integrating various thematic areas, such as infrastructure, tourism, and conservation, into the land use strategy. Secondary themes include the regulatory and policy framework guiding land use, which encompasses existing laws, strategies, and guidelines that facilitate coherent planning and management practices within the district. The review of Muhanga DLUP covers both urban and rural areas, ensuring balanced zoning and resource distribution for sustainable development by 2050.
