There has been considerable scaling up of landscape restoration activities, including restoration of former illegal mining and other degraded sites within the Park, protection of river corridors and demonstration of agroforestry and silvopastoralism activities in the buffer zone. The consultancy to develop the Flood Early Warning System for the Sebeya river basin has started, and necessary hydrometeorological equipment has been purchased and will be shipped after procurement delays. An MoU between REMA and the Center of Excellence in Biodiversity and Natural Resource Management at the University of Rwanda has been signed in order to start the research component of the project. A revision of selected project indicators that measure resilience is being considered and the approach for economic analysis is being reassessed.
