The Nyungwe Nziza Project – Beautiful Nyungwe
Strengthening Sustainable Ecotourism in and around Nyungwe National Park
Rwanda is an emerging tourist destination, and the USAID-sponsored Nyungwe Nziza seeks to help the country reach its tourism potential. To do so, the project targets the spectacular and protected Nyungwe National Park (NNP), focusing on inclusive ecotourism development for the benefit of local communities surrounding the park, and leveraging private sector investment in the management, construction, and maintenance of new and existing park infrastructure.
The Nyungwe Nziza project is working to transform NNP into a viable ecotourism destination, capable of generating employment and sustainable and equitable income for local communities and other stakeholders, thus providing economic incentives to conserve the rich biodiversity of the Park. The ultimate goal is a thriving economy in NNP with engaged communities and a private sector that realize they can benefit economically by protecting and leveraging the unique environment in which they live and work.
