Rwanda’s policy on Petroleum has three main elements – an upstream component, currently concerned with exploration for possible petroleum resources, the Mid-stream component that’s dealing with infrastructure such as pipelines, depots etc. and a downstream component that relates to the importation of refined products. The Upstream component is under Rwanda Mining, Petroleum and Gas Board (RMB). Midstream is under Ministry of Infrastructure while downstream petroleum issues are dealt with by the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM).
