During Faiza's, the Community Development Officer, trip to Sudan, she gave training to five members of the team in Zalingei, Western Sudan. This included the Project Officer for Local Security Livelihood; Engineer; Project Officer for Small Businesses; Social Services/Education Officer; and the Logistics Officer.
They received training on procurement and finance, in order to be able to administer this training to the beneficiaries themselves so that they are able to effectively run the sub-projects themselves. The CDRD process relies on communities to do the procurement and manage the financial activities.
Faiza delivered the training through a number of different activities - flip-chart exercises, video – 7 modules PICD, card games and interactive exercises, as can be seen in these photos.
On the sidelines of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, the Rwanda Green Fund and the Development Bank of Rwanda have launched Ireme Invest, a groundbreaking new green investment facility that will support Rwanda’s private sector to access green finance and increase the sector’s contribution to the country’s response to climate change.
Rwanda has set an ambitious climate action agenda to build the country's resilience and foster green growth. To achieve these goals, the country needs investments totaling USD 11 billion. Ireme Invest comes in response to this need by offering a range of financial instruments tailored to meet the needs of Rwanda’s private sector.

Photo exhibition at the Palais des Nations entitled "Shared Risks, Shared Responsibility: Opportunities for Cooperation".
This photo exhibit is an event to highlight existing practices and opportunities to build disaster resilient communities and nations, as part of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), a ten-year plan endorsed by the General Assembly in 2005 to coordinate country efforts to reduce disaster risk.
It provides visual evidence of how countries are interpreting the HFA principles to reduce risk to protect and advance development, and the need for this important work to be fully integrated into sustainable development initiatives.

Exhibition: Accelerating Sustainable Development through Disaster Risk Reduction
The newly formed Group of Friends for Disaster Risk Reduction this week launched a powerful photo exhibition at the UN in New York to coincide with the opening of the so-called "informal-informal" negotiations leading up to the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development or Rio+20.
