Green ICT
Purpose: Environmental protection and sustainable development
Description:
Rwanda has vast amounts of outdated ICT equipment, which pose serious environmental
consequences to Rwandans, if not disposed of properly. Furthermore most processes in
government and private sector are paper-based which is not only costly but also negatively
impacts the environment. This project aims to leverage ICTs in environmental management
conservation. Green ICT entails initiatives to reduce e-waste and enable efficient energy
generation, consumption and distribution. It also aims to further support Rwanda’s
environmental management policies.
