Limited resources have caused some administrative delays in approaching the Engineers Without Borders projects - chances are now that we will not be able to pursue much until mid-June.
In the interim, I have been looking at some projects in Rwanda as well. Similar needs, water and wastewater, here set in Rwanda, near Lake Kivu and Gisenyi on the Congolese Border.
There are a number of Rwandan projects that EWB is currently looking at: EWB Rwanda Projects

Here, I have taken a similar approach, with SRTMs for elevations, to derive contours, hillshading, watersheds and other topography - I also imported NGA gazetteer data, and items from a few other disparate sources, such as WHO and others which were helpful for examining Cameroon. Am still waiting for access to a few remaining datasets and sources. Rwanda appears to have a ministry of the environment, which may have GIS data as well.

Hey David-
I came across your blog fairly randomly but am extremely interested in speaking with you about the potential of using GIS data in Rwanda as part of my Masters Thesis. If you could email me at avery.bang@colorado.edu I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Avery
