Rwanda Emergency Site Planner Terms of Reference

Context On the 27th April 2012 – sporadic fighting between the DRC’s Government forces (FARDC) and troops loyal to General Bosco Ntaganda began in Masisi, North Kivu. Areas affected are Kitchanga, Ngungu, Bihambwe, Ruvunda, Kitchanga, Karuba. This situation has resulted in massive population movement. As of today, more than 14,000 DRC refugees have crossed to Rwanda through the Grand Barrier in Gisenyi, Rubavu District. The new arrivals are presently housed in a small and over congested Transit Center in Nkamira. Over 80% of the population are women and children. Many families are split, with some members remaining in DRC, primarily to look after family property such as cattle.

In an effort to de-congest the Transit Camp, but also for broader security consideration, the Government of Rwanda deemed it necessary to identify another location to move the newly arrivals. In this respect, a new and fourth camp has been identified in Kigeme in Nyamagabe District in the Southern Province. The relocation of the refugees to the new camp begun on Sunday 10th June 2012 and as of yesterday 19th June – 2,040 individuals were transferred to Kigeme
