Post conflict and post disaster reconstruction and the right to adequate housing 2011, para. 48
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Rwandan imidugudu model was not simply about provision of shelter in an emergency context, the underlying vision was of a drastically re-engineered rural society, Consultation was limited, and participation mainly took the form of required "obligatory labour participation in construction activities". In spite of these obvious problems, and of lessons learnt in previous villagization projects in East Africa, the "emergency" status of post-1994 Rwanda secured the involvement of some international agencies. However by 1999 international pressure and a related lack of donor funds essentially put a stop to the villagization programme.
