Rwanda: Building disaster resilient communities - opinion

'The concept of building sustainable disaster resilient communities remains abstract yet linking disasters and communities’ is critical and needs apt recognition. Vulnerable communities need disaster education and their participation will build their resilience', writes Geoffrey Mushaija for News of Rwanda.

He calls for an 'imperative to avail to the communities’ awareness and mobilisation materials for their children and homesteads like booklets, posters, note books, games, art crafts and poetry related to disaster prevention, mitigation and management.'
