Indicator available

Proportion of local governments that adopt and implement local disaster risk reduction strategies in line with national disaster risk reduction strategies
Indicator description

By 2017, Rwanda was implementing national disaster risk reduction strategies in line with Sendai Framework for DRR, such as DRR mainstreaming strategies, National Risk Atlas for Rwanda and DDMPs, among others. A 2017 report by the Ministry in Charge of Emergency Management (MINEMA) noted that the the number of local government entities that adopted and implemented local disaster risk reduction strategies in line with national disaster risk reduction strategies passed from 22 to 29 (against a total of 30 districts) between 2014 and 2017. By 2019, all 30 districts had implemented local disaster risk reduction strategies in line with national disaster risk reduction strategies.

Global indicator description

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 was adopted by UN Member States in March 2015 as a global policy of disaster risk reduction. One of the targets is “Substantially increase the number of countries with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies by 2020”. In line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, disaster risk reduction strategies and policies should mainstream and integrate disaster risk reduction within and across all sectors, across different timescales and with targets, indicators and time frames. These strategies should be aimed at preventing the creation of disaster risk, the reduction of existing risk and the strengthening of economic, social, health and environmental resilience. The open-ended intergovernmental expert working group on indicators and terminology relating to disaster risk reduction (OIEWG) established by the General Assembly (resolution 69/284) has developed a set of indicators to measure global progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which was endorsed by the UNGA (OIEWG report A/71/644). The relevant SDG indicators reflect the Sendai Framework indicators.
