Rwanda: NAPA Project Profile

This project profile outlines seven priority projects under Rwanda's National Action Plan for Adaptation (NAPA) aimed at addressing climate change vulnerabilities through land conservation, early warning systems, water management, and social infrastructure.

• Rwanda has identified seven priority projects under its National Action Plan for Adaptation (NAPA). These include land conservation and protection against floods and erosion at the district level, the improvement of hydro-meteorological information and early warning systems, and the creation of round irrigation perimeters in vulnerable regions.
• The NAPA priorities include supporting vulnerable districts in planning conservation and water storage, as well as enhancing the adaptive capacity of 'Imidugudu' (grouped settlements) by improving sanitation, potable water, alternative energy services, and non-agricultural employment.
• Additional priority projects focus on improving health support and food distribution methods to manage extreme climate events, and the development of a national strategy for woody combustible substitution to address erosion and deforestation.
