1. Objectives of the Conference

The main motivation for this conference is three-fold:

i) To provide a forum for the sharing of information regarding new innovations and best

practices in the ICT, geospatial information and technology fields which can be of

assistance in helping African countries to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

ii) To provide an environment in which geospatial professionals and other practitioners can

develop new, or expand existing contact networks so that the influence of the

conference can ‘live on’ beyond the conference itself.

iii) To identify realistic, implementable steps in the geoscience and related fields which can

be taken by African countries and international organisations to help advance the

achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in Africa. Who needs to do what,

when and how are key questions in this regard.

centre of Kigali city, in Nyarugenge district at KN 3 Ave.

4. Rwanda at a Glance

4.1. Weather

The country is located between 1 and 2 degrees South of the Equator and with much of the

country lying at altitude, Rwanda enjoys an agreeable tropical highland climate.

Temperatures vary considerably between locations but vary little from month to month. Peak

temperatures rarely exceed 30°C (86°F) in the daytime or drop below 15°C (59°F) at night. The

Eastern province is generally the warmest and the Northern highlands Virunga are the coolest

parts of the country. The average daily temperature in Kigali is 21°C (70°F). There are two rainy

seasons in a year; the first one from mid-February to May and the second one from mid-

September to mid-December. The dry season is from June to mid-September. During the dry

season, light cloud cover can be seen very few days, and occasional light rainfall can be

experienced. The roads and paths tend to be easier to navigate in this period.

4

4.2. Terrain

Known as the land of a thousand hills, Rwanda has 5 volcanoes, 23 lakes and numerous rivers.

The country covers an area of 10,169 square miles or 26,338 square kilometres.

Much of the country lies at elevations between 1,500 m and 2,500 m above mean sea level. The

highest peak is Mount Karisimbi with at 4,507 m of elevation, and the lowest point is the Rusizi

River at located at 950 m above sea level.

The terrain is often uneven and sensible shoes are essential.

4.3. Time Zone

Rwanda is located at 30 degrees in the East of the Greenwich Prime Meridian. Hence, the

country’s time zone is GMT/UTC + 2 hours.

4.4. Official Languages

The country has three official languages: Kinyarwanda, English and French. The majority of the

Rwandan population speak Kinyarwanda, and the majority of educated people speak all the three

languages.

4.5. Population

The Rwandan population is currently about 13 million people. The physical population density of

the country was 415 persons per km2 while the physiological population density (country’s land

area excluding the water surface) was about 441 inhabitants per km2.

4.6. Currency and Money

The Rwandan franc (Frw) is the principal currency, although US dollars are widely accepted. You

can expect to pay for local services in cash, in Rwandan francs. The greater the amount, the more

likely US dollars or other hard currencies are preferred.

Currently, a growing number of places accept credit and debit cards, with Visa card being more

widely accepted than Mastercard. It’s best to check when making a booking. ATMs can be found

in Kigali and nearly in all major cities, and the majority of the ATMs accept the Visa card for money

withdrawal operations. The ATMs normally work 24/7.

Cash can be exchanged at banks and private forex bureaus (bureau de change). However, they

are both closed on Sundays and public holidays.

It may be impossible to exchange traveler’s cheques away from the capital. Western Union

facilities are common.

5

Tipping is discretionary and appreciated. Cash is usually preferred. As a rough guide, tip

professional guides and drivers US $10 per day, trekking porters US $2.

5. Travel to Rwanda

Rwanda has two international airport: Kigali International Airport (the main and mostly used one)

and Kamembe International Airport (mainly for neigbouring countries flights). Kigali International

airport is serviced by a number of airlines including: RwandAir, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines,

Brussels Airlines, KLM, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines. Moreover, helicopter transfers within

Rwanda are available through Akagera Aviation. Kamembe International Airport has scheduled

flights.

RwandAir’s young and state of the art fleet flies to an increasing number of cities within Africa,

Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the United States. London, Brussels and Dubai flights are on

an Airbus A330, which features onboard wifi, Premium Economy and flat-bed seats in Business

Class. A hub at the heart of Africa, Kigali International Airport serves tourism, the export of goods

and is transforming Kigali into a trade and logistics platform.

From Kigali International Airport to different destination in Rwanda, there are different transport

options including shuttle services offered by a number of hotels (see accommodation section),

general taxi services, and motorbike taxi transportation service. The latter is only available out of

the airport bounds.

6. Local Transport

Rwanda has an active local transportation system and network. Kigali city operates a number of

transportation companies. To travel by bus in Kigali requires a card known as “Tap and Go” card,

where the passenger needs to top up the amount on the card depending on the length of the

journey. The transportation companies’ agents are on a large number of bus station to help the

passengers to top up their cards when needed.

Moreover, other transportation options including general taxi and motorbike taxi transportation

are also available in all corners of the city. Recently, Yego Innovation has launched Yego Cabs: a

network of taxi transportation cabs which can be called on hotline: 9191 and a taxi cab located

on the proximity of the passenger will be available at the passenger’s service.

7. Health

The greatest health risks in Rwanda are accidents and malaria. Much of Rwanda lies at too high

an elevation for malaria to be a major concern, however, the disease is present and prophylactic

drugs are recommended. You are advised to seek professional medical advice on taking anti-

malarial medicines and take precautions to avoid mosquito bites, especially between dawn and

dusk.

6

You are advised to ensure you are up to date with vaccinations, following the advice of their local

healthcare provider, and should consider bringing a small first aid kit. A certificate of yellow-fever

vaccination is required.

It is advisable not to drink tap water. Bottled mineral water can be bought in all towns – make

sure the seal is intact.

As a small country, medical help is rarely far away. For basic treatment most towns of any size

have pharmacies with a limited range of medicines, while larger towns have hospitals. King Faisal

Hospital (https://oshenkfh.rw/) in Kigali is the most advanced in Rwanda.

In case of medical evacuation, Akagera Aviation operates a helicopter ambulance service within

Rwanda in daylight hours, with one military paramedic on call. Please make sure you have

adequate medical insurance.

Due to the risks of passing on human colds or other illnesses to primates, it is essential that you

are in good health if you want to see them.

Importantly, there is 24/7 operational clinic within the compounds of the University of Rwanda,

where primary medical care can be sought. Moreover, the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali

Banned by law since 2008, any plastic bags in your luggage will be confiscated at the airport or

other point of entry.

9

As a country striving to protect, safeguard and promote the environment – the matter is written

into the country’s constitution and is carefully observed by all citizens, who participate in a

community service called Umuganda on the last Saturday of every month.

We respectfully request that all the people coming to Rwanda help us to keep Rwanda the

cleanest country in Africa, and dispose of all litter responsibly.

12. Electricity

All sockets in Rwanda provide a standard voltage of 230V with a frequency of 50Hz. You can use

all your equipment in Rwanda if the standard voltage in your own country is between 220V-240V.

Power plugs and outlets Rwanda

The outlets and plugs used in Rwanda are mainly two pins (type C or J). You can take a look at

the pictures below to see how each plug and socket type looks. However, type C is the most

dominant in the majority of the places. Nevertheless, the adapters and power extensions are also

available in case of need. The standard voltage is 230 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz.

13. Weather and What to Wear

In Rwanda, dress codes are informal yet respectful. Men tend to wear trousers but shorts are

fine, although walking around without a shirt is frowned upon. Women will feel more

comfortable in knee-length or longer.

Daytime temperatures are generally warm, so bring lots of light clothing and think about sun

protection, including a hat and sunglasses. The evenings tend to be cool, and a light sweater is

appreciated.

As the conference will take place in November, which is normally a rainy season in Rwanda,

slightly heavier clothing is useful. A lightweight waterproof jacket may come in handy in the moist

mountains (in case you happen to be in Northern or Western parts of the country).

10

Also, given the fact the climate of Rwanda which attracts mosquitoes, especially in Eastern parts

of the country, please take sensible precautions against mosquitos and other bites, and always

sleep in a mosquito net.

For those who wear contact lenses, cleaning fluid is not readily available and dust or sun could prove an irritation, so it’s best to bring a pair of glasses along for peace of mind.

14. Connectivity

Rwanda has an excellent mobile phone network covering almost the entire country, and

international calls can be made easily. Local SIM cards are readily available everywhere, even in

remote towns. There are two providers – MTN and Airtel-Tigo. Mobile phones can be purchased

or rented from major shops in Kigali. Rwanda is among the top three African countries in terms

of internet connectivity, with an ever-growing fibre optic network. There is high speed 4G LTE

wireless broadband in major cities. Most towns have several internet cafes and wifi is available

in higher end hotels.

15. Security

Rwanda ranks the second safest country in Africa. It is normal to find people walking in the streets

of Kigali city even during night hours. However, we advise the participants not to be out alone

after 21:00. Also, it is advised to follow and respect the security guidelines and regulation of the

hotel where the participants will be staying.

Moreover, looking at the security at the conference venue, the University of Rwanda has 24/7

security, and every effort will be made to ensure the security of participants’ items, especially

the exhibits. Nevertheless, the University declines responsibility for any loss or damage which

may occur, including responsibility for the security of an exhibition stand, its exhibits and

contents as well as personal belongings. You are urged to take care of your own belongings. In

our experience, cell phones, briefcases, cameras and handbags are most at risk. Carry these items

with you at any time.
