Rwandan peacekeepers stationed in Malakal carried out a clean-up campaign and a kitchen garden initiative aimed at improving community health and nutrition, according to mod.gov.rw. The defence ministry outlet reported the activities on Saturday, 7 November 2026.
The two efforts were presented as a combined push to promote healthier living among residents of the area. The clean-up campaign addressed sanitation in the community, while the kitchen garden initiative was framed around nutrition, per mod.gov.rw. The ministry's report did not specify how many personnel took part, which neighbourhoods were covered, or how many households the garden effort reached.
The reporting also did not name partner organisations or local authorities involved in either activity.
The account comes from a single ministry statement, and the details released so far are broad. mod.gov.rw described the work as a community-focused effort by the Rwandan contingent serving in Malakal, without giving figures on waste collected, plots planted, or crops grown.
Watch for further statements from the Rwanda Defence Force or mission officials that may add specifics on the scale of the clean-up and how the kitchen gardens are being sustained.
