Today, Rwanda Water Resources Board (RWB), in collaboration with @UN_Water, kicked off a four-day National Workshop on #SDG6 Monitoring.
“Achieving SDG 6 requires more than data; it demands collaboration, innovation, and shared accountability,” emphasized EC @rnyirishema.
#SDG6 seeks to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030.
"Investing in nature is not only an environmental responsibility, it is also an economic and social necessity. Strong ecosystems mean safe communities," said RWB Executive Chairperson, @rnyirishema, during the launch of the Nature-Based Flood Adaptation to Increase Community Resilience in the Western Part of Rwanda project financed by @AfDB_Group.
Today, #RWB & @AfDB_Group launched a $9 million grant project to reduce flood risks and enhance climate resilience for vulnerable communities in Western Rwanda.
The project "Nature-Based Flood Adaptation to Increase Community Resilience in the Western Part of Rwanda", will deploy ecosystem-based solutions to address recurrent flooding, soil erosion, and land degradation in high-risk watersheds of @RusiziDistrict and @KarongiDistr Districts.
