Up to 194 former street vendors who were given space to work at the now-demolished Gisozi market have been moved to Duhahirane market in Gisozi sector, Gasabo District, according to the City of Kigali.
This action was taken following the demolition of the Gisozi market in 2022 due to"its pollution impact on the neighbouring wetland", as outlined by the Rwanda Environment Management Authority ."We relocated 194 ex-street vendors to their designated place at the Duhahirane market. The rent was paid for them in these new markets and they were provided with capital loans through the VUP financial services programme," said Martine Urujeni, Vice Mayor of the City of Kigali.
She added that the City of Kigali Council has taken several measures that include penalising traffickers and those involved in illegal trading, enhancing cooperation between government, private entities, and NGOs, as well as implementing regulations to govern small markets.Urujeni said the City of Kigali is actively addressing the challenge through continuous campaigns and outreach programmes.
Following the regulation, three markets have been set up across Gasabo, Kicukiro, and Nyarugenge districts, providing 4,199 slots for former street vendors, according to the City of Kigali.
