President Kagame: A joint initiative with Columbia’s International Research Institute for Climate and Society has rebuilt 15 years of lost climate data. #WorldLeadersForum

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

President Kagame: The program has also helped our national weather agency build an advanced online climate information system for Rwandan farmers. These results could only have been achieved with sustained partnership, over many years. #WorldLeadersForum
