The assessment
In order to understand the data management framework for the environmental sector in Rwanda, the analysis in this chap- ter is presented in four sections, namely data availability, ap- plication, networking and capacity building.
Data availability
This section seeks to address the question: what data is avail- able and where is it? The assessment looks at what data the institutions have and where some of the gaps are. Data issues such as methods of collection, quality, accuracy and condi- tions of access are also discussed.
