The proposed project is geared towards helping the Government of Rwanda to strengthen its DRM capacity, enhance preparedness and reduce risks, and achieve its global commitment to the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) and the MDGs. The proposed project will have five inter-related outputs. It will support the institutional capacity strengthening of MINEMA and local DDMCs reinforce national coordination mechanisms for DRM and raise public awareness.

In addition, the proposed project aimed to support mainstreaming of DRR in development plans and key relevant policies and building risk knowledge through a comprehensive risk assessment and development of the country’s National Risk Profile. Furthermore, the project supported the establishment of the end-to-end early warning systems and it will pilot a risk reduction strategy based on vulnerability reduction and risk mitigation measures. The proposed project will adopt a multi-hazard approach and will ensure a multi-stakeholder engagement during its lifecycle.
