Rwanda changes location of planned tannery park
15/05/2026
Rwanda will construct its planned national leather tannery park in Gicumbi District instead of Bugesera after a feasibility study found the original location unsuitable.
Prudence Sebahizi, Minister of Trade and Industry, told parliament’s Committee on State Budget and Patrimony that the relocation will not affect the project’s delivery timeline, with completion still targeted for 2029.
