An assessment of Integration and Implementation of Environment and Climate Change Activities into Development Sectors Plans and Programmes in Rwanda conducted by the Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA) through the Department of Environmental Education and Mainstreaming (DEEM) with the support of the Poverty-Environment Initiative (PEI).
The report features the achievements of the Initiative in each of the major areas of work: coordination across government institutions; cross-sector economic, social, and environmental assessments to inform national, local, and sectoral policy and planning; supporting fiscal reform; promoting gender equality and social inclusion; South-South cooperation and partnerships; and support to put in place building blocks for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
