This document describes a GIS-based framework developed to assess and map potential irrigation areas in Rwanda. A team of experts from various organizations collected climate, soil, land use and water resources data to analyze suitability for irrigation. The framework identifies favorable locations for irrigation infrastructure, estimates available water supply, prioritizes water distribution, and produces maps of potential irrigation areas. The overall goal is to promote sustainable irrigated agriculture and improve food security in Rwanda by developing and managing the country's water resources.
