Rwanda Health and Environment Scorecard Summary

Overall Summary Score: Rwanda scores 44 out of 100 on the Health and environment scorecard, indicating significant room for improvement in key areas.

Key Findings:

• Health and Exposure Scores: The exposure score (37) is low, reflecting high environmental risks such as poor air quality and lack of compliance with WHO guidelines for PM2.5. The health score (43) is moderate, with specific issues linked to air pollution causing strokes and ischemic heart disease.

• Policy Performance: The policy score (54) is relatively robust, with existing national policies on household clean fuels and chemical regulations, but gaps exist in areas like sanitation and climate adaptation implementation.

• Environmental and Health Indicators: Air pollution is a major concern, with high PM2.5 levels linked to health impacts; water and sanitation data is insufficient or unavailable, limiting assessment. Climate change vulnerability is noted, with partial adaptation plans but inadequate carbon commitments.

• Additional Notes: Scores are simple averages out of 100. Rwanda has strengths in certain policy areas but faces challenges in data collection and addressing key environmental and health risks.
