A new project has been launched in Ngororero to help build disaster resilient communities in two sectors of the district.

The two-year scheme, worth $1.8million (about Rwf1.4 billion), is a joint effort between the government and six UN agencies.

The project, dubbed “Strengthening Human Security by Enhancing Resilience to Natural Disasters and Climate Related Threats’, is jointly coordinated by the Ministry for Disaster Management and Refugee Affairs (MIDIMAR) and the UNDP.

The new scheme will particularly benefit vulnerable residents in Sovu and Kabaya sectors.

Situated in the northwest of Rwanda, Ngororero is one of the hilliest districts in the country.
