Jabana is a sector in Gasabo District, Kigali, Rwanda.
Location
The city has an area of 36.4 km. It is located in the northern part of the country. Jabana contains five cells: Akamatamu, Bweramvura, Kabuye, Kidashya, and Ngiryi. It is bordered by the Kinyinya and Gisozi sectors in the south, Nduba to the east, Masoro and Murambi to the north, and Jali to the west. The Nyabugogo river, a tributary of the Nyabarongo, borders the sector in the east.[1][2][3]

The Rwanda Environment Management Authority hypothesised that the high male-to-female ratio was due to a tendency for men to migrate to the city in search of work outside the agricultural sector, while their wives remained in a rural home.[7]
