Since January, 2021, COVID-19 cases increased dramatically and Rwandan government forced to take drastic decisions including total lockdown and travel restrictions.
We have planned for planting 20,000 trees, but at this moment we still have travel restrictions/partial lockdown in place in the country which does not allow travel across districts and to perform field activities, so we are not able to do anything, and on March 15th 2021, the government is reviewing the lockdown, and we will have more information by then.
Based on the available Data, showing that from 1st February 2021, COVID-19 cases have been decreased dramatically in Rwanda, and as Rwanda has received covid-19 vaccine on 3 March 2021 — the first shipment of COVID-19 vaccines through the COVAX initiative and started vaccination from the risk groups, including health personnel, those above 65 years old or with underlying health conditions, and other frontline workers. There is hope that, travel restrictions will be removed on 15th March and we will be starting our planting trees project by then.
