Question

Describe the possible impacts of these changes on the livelihood of the population living in Rwanda

Answer 1

According to work "Livelihood impacts of displacement and resettlement on informal households - A case study from Kigali, Rwanda" by Nikuze et al. (2019), "Affected households start[ed] experiencing adverse impacts on their livelihood assets in the pre-relocation stage." One of the possible reasons is that "The owners of multi-houses for rent are more vulnerable to financial instability in the pre-relocation stage."
