Strategic Plan

Green East Deal: Strategic Plan 2025–2030

Core Objectives & Targets

1. Land Restoration

Restore 25,000+ hectares of degraded land.
Plant 10 million trees (70%+ survival rate).
Sequester 500K tCO₂e by 2030.

2. Climate-Smart Agriculture

Train 5,000 smallholder farmers in CSA practices.
Achieve 40% increase in farmer incomes and 40% reduction in chemical fertilizer use.

3. Circular Economy

Convert 50,000 tons/year of waste into organic fertilizer.
Establish 3 community production hubs.

4. Youth/Women Empowerment

Launch 200 youth/women-led agribusinesses.
Create 500+ green jobs.

5. Climate Education

Integrate climate curricula into 100 schools.
Certify 20,000+ youth as "Climate Champions"

6. Digital Innovation

Reduce post-harvest losses by 60% via an AI-driven marketplace.
Enable 80% of CSA sales through digital platforms.

Key Strategies

Community-Led Implementation

Decentralized governance via village-level Umudugudu Cells and community task forces.
Umuganda Climate Days for mass tree planting (e.g., 200K trees in Year 1).

Synergistic Components

Link landscape restoration (Component 2.1) with organic fertilizer production (2.3) and CSA (2.2).
Connect school feeding (Component 4) to local CSA cooperatives.

Innovation & Sustainability:

Launch a carbon credit marketplace (30% revenue funds nurseries by 2029).
Transition assets to community ownership by 2030.

Impact Alignment

Environmental

Land Degradation Neutrality, 30% biodiversity recovery.

Socio-Economic

$3.2M/year injected into rural economies, 50% gender parity in decision-making.

Policy

Support Rwanda’s NDC targets (38% emissions reduction) and SDGs 2, 4, 6, 13, 15.

The GREEN EAST DEAL leverages community action, technology, and circular economies to build climate resilience in Rwanda’s most vulnerable region. By 2030, it will deliver measurable ecological restoration, economic empowerment, and a replicable model for African sustainability.
