    National adaptation programmes of action to climate change, NAPA-Rwanda
    (Ministry of lands, environment, forestry, water and mines, 2006) Ministry of lands, environment, forestry, water and mines
    Aware that Least Developed Countries (LDC) lack necessary means to face the problems linked to climate change, the Decision 28 of the 7th Conference of Parties (28/CP.7) to UNFCCC has established guidelines for the preparation and implementation of National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA). The NAPA has the aim of helping the LDC define adaptation priority activities to climate change in order to obtain funds from GEF or other donors for their implementation. Rwanda, a Party to UNFCCC, received in July 2005 an LDC grant for the preparation of NAPA which will be used as a simplified and direct channel of communication for expressing its urgent and immediate adaptation needs to climate change.
