Adaptive Social Protection in Rwanda: A No-Regrets Approach to Increased Resilience in a Territorial Planning Context

This research paper discusses the potential for integrating Social Protection (SP) policies and programs in Rwanda with Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) to enhance household and community resilience.

• Integrating Social Protection (SP) with Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) can increase the resilience of households and communities in Rwanda by reducing vulnerability and enhancing the capacity of poor and vulnerable households.
• While Social Protection, Disaster Risk Management, and Climate Change Adaptation share the goal of managing risks by protecting assets and livelihoods to promote sustainable growth and reduce poverty, they have traditionally been managed by separate institutions and disciplines using different frameworks and terminologies.
