Climate Change (CC) situation in Rwanda
TemperatureThe analysis of the annual average temperatures of Kigali Airport Station (1971-2007) and of Kamembe shows a clear increasing tendency in temperature. In Kigali Airport for instance an average value was 19.8°C in 1971 and 21.0°C in 2009. This reveals an increase of 1.2°C in 39 years. The increase of 1.2°C in 39 years is remarkable in as much as it exceeds global warming estimated at 0.8°C in 150 years.
RainfallAn analysis of the daily rainfall data from Kigali Airport station for the period 1971-2010 shows that annual average total number of rain days has reduced from 148 days in 1971 to 124 days in 2009. These data indicate not only reduction rainy season period, but also increasingly poor distribution and reliability of rainfallMore drought, landslides and flooding
EXISTING cc adaptation institutional framework
The Vision 2020
EDPRS: Green growth programme
National Strategy on Climate Change & Low Carbon Development (2011),Agriculture sector leads 2 programme : 1&2
PSTA III: with a programme on mainstreaming of environment and Planning to CC.
Objectives PASP overall project goal is to alleviate poverty, increase
rural income and contribute to the overall economic development of Rwanda;
PASP development objective is to increase smallholder and rural labourer incomes (including women, youth and vulnerable groups) from CIP crop and dairy businesses, especially those related to aggregating production for markets, supporting transformation, and creating value-added.
The project become effective since 28th March 2014 and it will be implemented over 5 years period.
The project target the development of the post-harvest (non-primary production) parts of six priority value chains: Maize, Beans, Potatoes, Cassava, Milk & horticulture
The initial target for PASP national beneficiaries will be 32,400 rural households in 12 selected Districts:
The project target the establishment of 200 Hubs across 12 Districts which will be associated with the 32,400 households
Target
Project financing & components
• PASP is complemented by a $7.000.000 Post-harvest Climate resilient Agribusiness grant (PHCRAB) which has been deployed in the Republic of Rwanda within the framework of supporting Adaption for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP).

Provides loans to farmers & other private business promoters
Sharing Climate information to smallholder farmers Analysis of available historical agro-meteorological data to quantify changes
in seasonal characteristics and incidence of extreme events and how these impact upon harvest and post-harvest processes, and the rural infrastructure. Being done under MOU with RMA.
Preparation and dissemination of early warning messages appropriate to the risks identified in each PASP area (droughts, floods, cessation of rains etc.) developed through climate information services.
Training of farmers on climate information and sharing of seasonal forecast through community level workshops.
Cont. Identification and promotion of crop and forage varieties that mature earlier and are more
tolerant to floods and droughts through appropriate participatory field trials and field demonstrations : a number of trials and demo Plots have been established for maize, Irish potato, cassava and forages.

ChallengesNo Intervention Challenges1 Climate information
sharingThe major problem with climate information sharing is related to micro-climate linked with Country topography (main hills and mountains). It is difficult to produce a weather forecast at large scale of geographic coverage.
2 Climate smart technologies
Limited availability of appropriate climate smart technologies
Research related activities
Research related activities that takes long due to research protocols required
