NAMA: Bus Rapid Transit in Kigali (with linkage to non-motorized transport)
Title:
Bus Rapid Transit in Kigali (with linkage to non-motorized transport)
DescriptionOfMitigationAction:
<p>The NAMA is planned to be implemented through the design, construction, implementation, and <br /> operation of an efficient bus rapid transit (BRT) system for the city of Kigali. </p> <p>The key direct mitigation actions include the switch to low emissions, high efficiency transport modes, higher fuel and emissions standards for new vehicles, low sulphur diesel regulations, fleet <br /> renewal and scrappage regulations and emissions compliance certification and inspection. In addition the NAMA will include supportive actions like BRT main bus corridors, standardized route optimization, dedicated “rush hour” bus lanes and integration with rural and inter-city bus routes. </p> <p>Emission Reductions: <br /> These mitigation actions result in significant, meaningful and measureable reductions in GHG emissions while concomitantly supporting Rwanda’s national development and poverty reduction policies and strategic visions and goals. Initial emission reduction estimations foresee a total mitigation potential of approx. over 1.26 million tCO2e for the period 2016 to 2030.</p> <p>Sustainable Development Benefits:<br /> This NAMA is fully supportive of the Republic of Rwanda’s earnest and active policies and efforts <br /> in terms of poverty reduction, private sector economic growth, green growth and resilience strategies, and improving the quality of life of all citizens. Significant sustainable co-benefits of the NAMA include:<br /> - Quality of life improvements through reductions in traffic congestion, air particulate emissions, noise levels, traffic accidents and fatalities, <br /> - Improved access to public transport for poor and handicapped, <br /> - Reduce household transport costs and time demands,<br /> - Contribute to environmentally friendly green zones, and increase the use of non-motorized transport,<br /> - Increase universal access to essential goods and services, <br /> - Increase mobility for the job market. </p> <p>Private Sector Participation:<br /> Under this NAMA and the resulting agreement reached by the Inter-ministerial Coordinating Committee, and regulated via the Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority and the City of Kigali, private sector companies are expected to operate the Kigali BRT system via service contracts with individual companies or cooperatives, effectively under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. </p>

RelevantNationalPolicies:
The planned NAMA is in line with relevant national policies, which are as follows: <br /> A) Key policy linkage to the national Green Growth and Climate Resilience strategy with a focus on low carbon development to 2020 and a vision for 2050. The key linking programmes are:<br /> - Programme 9: Efficient Resilient Transport Systems: Action 1: Improving the efficiency of ICE Vehicles (key indicator = Reduction in emissions per km); Action 3: Investment in infrastructure (key indicator = % km per mode); Action 4: Developing efficient operational systems (key indicator = Reduction in emissions per km)<br /> - Programme 10: Low Carbon Urban Systems: Action 2: Integrated Multi-mode Urban Transport (key indicator = % Passenger Km by mode).<br /> b) Rwanda’s updated Vision 2020<br /> c) Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy II (EDPRS II)<br /> In addition the NAMA is in line and considers the sectoral policies “The Public Transport Policy and Strategy (PTPS)”, the “Kigali City: Transportation Master Plan Report”.<br />
CommentsOnFullCost:
<p>The full costs of preparation covers a comprehensive feasibility study (including technical, financial <br /> and institutional feasibility assessment) for the mitigation actions of BRT, the preparation of the <br /> full NAMA Design Document and institutional level capacity development support. </p> <p>Note that the Climate Change Focal Point (Rwanda Environmental Management Authority) and <br /> the National Implementing Entities will provide in-kind programme management, institutional <br /> coordination, and procurement services during the preparation phase of the NAMA. This in-kind <br /> contribution is not included in the estimated full cost of preparation.</p>
