Digital Migration
Purpose: To fully integrate the economic, social and political aspects of the country
Description:
The limited radio and TV signal coverage in numerous parts of the country continue to
disenfranchise Rwandans, thereby limiting their participation in government development
programmes. Furthermore, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommended that
analogue systems be switched to digital by June 2015. This project aims to leverage deployed
broadcasting infrastructure to transition Rwanda’s broadcasting from analogue to digital and
further current efforts to complete Rwanda’s digital migration.
Activities:
1. Enforce and implement the digital migration policy
2. Assess market and consumer needs to facilitate market and business development
3. Set switch-on and switch-off schedule
4. Define system and network standards
5. Increase awareness and sensitization around this initiative
Expected Outcome:
1. Successful digital migration by 2015
2. Increased citizen participation in development programs
3. Increased content development
Outcome Indicators:
1. 50% of Rwandan households migrated to digital by 2013
Communication, Navigation, Surveillance – Air Traffic Management (CNS-ATM)
Purpose: To develop a seamless, globally coordinated system of air navigation services that will
cope with worldwide growth in air traffic demand
Description:
This project aims to foster the implementation of a seamless, global air management system that
will enable air craft operators to meet their planned times of departure and arrival, and adhere to
their preferred flight profiles with minimum constraints and without compromising agreed safety
levels. Rwanda has been selected to host the Communication Navigation Surveillance /Air
Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) for all COMESA member states and therefore must be ready
to effectively manage the system. It will enable a regional unified air space management that
would control navigation services. The centre will be based at Karisimbi in the Northern
Province, where GoR has deployed communication infrastructure. This project is also aimed at
ensuring that Rwanda is ready to host regional CNS-ATM.
