Action by Churches Together (ACT)
Appeal - Rwanda
Disaster Preparedness - AFRW-11
Appeal Target: US$ 921,697
Geneva, 17 January 2001


Rwanda is still recovering from the tragic human, social-economic and
environmental destruction caused by the genocide and civil war of 1994
where more than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed during a
3-month period.  Since then, Rwanda and her people have been on a slow but
certain road to recovery. To date, millions of dollars have been
channelled into the country for shelter reconstruction, increased access
to clean water, provision of food, the establishment of health and
nutrition programs, as well as resettlement activities.

But Rwanda's peace is also dependent on the security of the Great Lakes
Region. Currently, the region is threatened by the insecurity caused by
the ongoing war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the civil
conflict in Burundi. Certain parts of the country are also prone to
drought - the drought of 1999/2000 in the Western and Southern prefectures
adversely affected food security in the region, resulting in the need for
large scale food distribution in the prefecture of Umutara, Kibungo,
Kigali-rural, Butare and Gikongoro.  Previous refugee influx emergencies
and periods of drought provide some idea of possible problems in the
future and point to the necessity of a mitigation strategy.


The ACT network in Rwanda comprising United Methodist Committee on Relief
(UMCOR), Christian Aid (CAID), Lutheran World Federation/ World Service
(LWF/WS), Rwanda Women's Network (RWN), Protestant Council of Rwanda
(CPR), and Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), have put together an ACT proposal
for Disaster Preparedness with the following components;

Four 2-week Disaster Preparedness Training Courses
Prestocking & prepositioning of food and non-food items
Water & Sanitation
Grass roots health training
Networking


As this appeal is the first of its kind in the area of emergency
preparedness, ACT CO feels that an evaluation should be carried out at the
end of the implementation period.  Therefore, a budget line of US$ 20,000
has been included under the CPR budget for an ACT external evaluation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION

Background

Rwanda is still recovering from the tragic human, social-economic and
environmental destruction caused by the genocide and civil war of 1994
where more than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed during a
3-month period.  Following on from this, over two million Hutu Rwandans
fled into the neighbouring countries of Tanzania, Congo (then Zaire), and
Burundi where the majority settled in refugee camps, the more fortunate
with family and friends.  In November of 1996, Zairian civil instability
instigated the massive return of approximately 600,000 refugees to their
country of origin, Rwanda.  In December of that same year, a second influx
of refugees, this time from Tanzania, returned.  By the end of 1997,
nearly one million Rwandan refugees had returned home.

Since then, Rwanda and her people have been on a slow but certain road to
recovery.  To date, millions of dollars have been channelled into the
country for shelter reconstruction, increased access to clean water,
provision of food, the establishment of health and nutrition programs, as
well as resettlement activities.  Thousands of metric tons of food have
been distributed, yet there is still widespread malnutrition.  While
500,000 have been resettled into homes and/or families, there are still
more than 370,000 families averaging (5 people per family) living under
either plastic sheeting or in makeshift dwellings.  Since 1994, more
Rwandans have access to clean water than ever before. However, in some
communes water availability averages at eight litres per person per day
which is below the universally accepted minimum of 15 litres per person
per day. The poor have also a problem to access medical care and drugs.


Current Situation

These and other socio-economic problems exist within the context of a
recent state of regional instability within the country as well as in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Burundi.  In Rwanda's
north-west region, attacks by rebel groups, Interahamwe based in the
Congo, have killed hundreds of returned Rwandans.  While a strong military
commitment against the rebels has meant a significant increase of
security, most recently, on December 23, 1999, a group of twenty-nine
persons are reported to have been killed and more than 40 injured during
an attack on the Tamira resettlement site in Mutura. Gunfire was also
exchanged in mid-December between government military forces and
militiamen in Ruhengeri Town.  The recent incidents confirm that
Interahamwe are still operating from the Eastern DRC forests and continue
to seek to destabilise the country.  In eastern DRC, there has been
increased Interahamwe and ex-FAR activity in North Kivu around Goma, and
in South Kivu with support of the Mayi Mayi.  Movements of the Interahamwe
and ex-Far into Burundi have also been reported. In order to abate the
threat from these rebel groups, Rwanda invaded the Congo in 1998 together
with Uganda, at the same time also supporting a rebel campaign to oust
Kabila in Kinshasa.  The presence of these foreign troops alongside the
rebels has increased ethnic hatred amongst Congolese, especially end
1999/beginning 2000.  As a result, there is a significant threat of
recurrent ethnic violence in the region.

In Burundi, Interahamwe/ex-FAR and Burundi rebel forces continue to
destabilise the country causing increased insecurity and possibly
acquiring control over various territories of north-east Burundi and
around Bujumbura, the capital.  Threats received by the UN and the recent
killing of its staff on October 12, 1999 confirm the increasing climate of
hostility and instability that could possibly lead to the deterioration in
the situation in Burundi.  In response, the UNHCR has facilitated several
contingency-planning meetings for possible refugee influx due to problems
in any of these three areas.

Rwanda is also faced with naturally induced emergencies, such as droughts
and agricultural plagues. In 1998, a heavy invasion of army worms attacked
and decimated large parts of agricultural production. In 1999, a drought
in the western and southern prefectures adversely effected food security
in the region, resulting in the need for large scale food distributions in
the prefectures of Umutara, Kibungo, Kigali-rural, Butare and Gikongoro.  
The drought has continued in zones, with a very poor harvest foreseen
during the September 2000 session.

Impact on Human Lives and Description of Damages While the impact on human
lives and damages cannot yet be ascertained as an emergency has yet to
occur, previous refugee influx emergencies provide an accurate forecast of
possible problems.  During the return of Rwandan refugees in 1996 due to
insecurity in neighbouring DRC, nearly one million people sought homes in
Rwanda.  The country's already weakened infrastructure was further
strained as the need for shelter, food, clean water, medical care and
additional space to accommodate returnees and their families increased.  
Natural food resources were scarce, as were adequate water supplies.  
When factors such as refugee influx and drought affect food production and
access, the current situation of poverty is then exacerbated into one of
destitution.

UNHCR has recently developed two possible scenarios leading to emergency
situations for both DRC and Burundi.  Unrest in either of these two
countries, it anticipates, will cause an influx of as many as 500,000
refugees from both Congo and Burundi.  And, while Rwanda has strengthened
its infrastructure and internal capacity, any such sudden increase in
population could push the country back into a situation marked by turmoil
and trauma.  UNHCR and the ACT-Rwanda members view disaster preparedness
planning as the most effective means of responding to the possible influx
in refugees into Rwanda, and consider planning available resources and
mechanisms for rapid decision-making as integral components to this
response initiative.


Location of Proposed Response

Given the nature of the emergency, the ACT-Rwanda members propose a
nation-wide disaster preparedness initiative.  ACT members along with its
implementing partners have the ability and resources to provide assistance
in each of the 12 prefectures in Rwanda. Personnel trained in disaster
response will be located in strong churches and local NGOs, with at least
one local partner in each prefecture part of the network.  Kigali, the
nation's capital, will serve as the base operation, including logistics
co-ordination and the location for pre-stocked, pre-positioned supplies.


Security and Constraints

Rwanda today is at a very delicate point in its history with current food
production increasing and hundreds of thousands of refugees have been
resettled.  Unemployment is still high and quality medical care is
improving, although there is still much to secure to ensure services to
the rural population.  There is however, the ever-present threat of
instability from the country's north western, western and southern
borders.  UN reports note concern around the deterioration of the
situation in Northwest Rwanda due to inadequate response to the
humanitarian situation and to increased activity of infiltrators.  The UN
Security Management Team has begun strengthening its security measures, in
particular the re-establishment of the compulsory use of military escorts
when travelling to that region.  Despite the signing of the Lusaka Peace
Agreement in 1999, rebel activity continues to destabilise the region in
both Congo and Burundi.  International NGOs and UN agencies are concerned
that continued insecurity in Burundi due to rebel activity will cause
turmoil within the country, allowing it then to be used as a base by
Interahamwe/ex-FAR members to infiltrate and destabilise Rwanda.

The greatest difficulty, however, is preparing appropriately for an
emergency before it actually takes place.  Even the most comprehensive
forecasting can neither accurately determine neither the timing nor the
order of magnitude of an emergency.  UNHCR and the ACT-Rwanda members have
participated in contingency planning activities for the last several
months, and are positioning its collective resources (human and material)
towards meeting anticipated need.



GOAL & OBJECTIVES

Goal

The main goal is to enhance and strengthen the human, institutional and
organisational capacity of ACT partner agencies, local NGOs and ministry
officials to respond effectively and in a timely manner, to natural and
human-made disasters within Rwanda and within the Great Lakes region of
East Africa.


Objectives

To facilitate and create a co-ordination unit which can respond to
emergency in the future.

To facilitate 4 two-week practical training sessions for strategic partner
organisations in Disaster Preparedness in Health, Refugee Camp Management,
Water and Sanitation, Health Training at the Grass Roots Level.

To pre-stock and pre-position emergency materials (blankets, jerry cans,
plastic sheeting, basic medicines, and food) in locations throughout
Rwanda and to respond in a limited way to local emergencies when they
arise, i.e., drought and food shortages.

To create a co-ordination office

To facilitate the creation of a strong network of implementing partners
and local NGOs through effective follow-up and information dissemination.



BENEFICIARY INFORMATION & TARGETED AREAS

The Disaster Preparedness Training component will target and train 60
church and NGO co-ordinators/representatives as well as strategic local
authorities.  ACT-Rwanda members will also procure and warehouse emergency
supplies for 20,000 families in various locations throughout Kigali.
Should a disaster ensue, approximately 100,000 individuals will receive
sufficient food and supplies. During the preparedness stage, however, more
than 20 churches and local NGOs will directly benefit from the workshop
training, while the communities in which they operate will indirectly
benefit from the skills training that each workshop will provide.


Selection Criteria

Eligibility is based upon the level of each organisation's involvement in
direct management, implementation, and administration of emergency
preparedness & disaster response programs.  All workshops for national
partners must be recommended and approved by the ACT members here in
Rwanda.  Priority will be given to participants who display strong
leadership skills as well as a desire to learn new professional skills and
information.  Priority will also be given to participants who profess a
desire to continue working in emergency preparedness and/or disaster
response upon completion of the training.



DESCRIPTION OF TARGETED ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION

Strategy

ACT-Rwanda members seek to provide ACT implementing partners, local NGOs,
and ministry officials with a three-tiered strategy aimed at raising the
level of disaster preparedness in Rwanda.  The first phase of preparing
will consist of four two-week training courses designed to introduce (or
reiterate) the basic disaster preparedness training tools, in addition to
providing practical sector-specific training in the areas of
water/sanitation, refugee camp management, and health (2 sessions).  The
second tier of activities will focus on the provision and storing of
emergency supplies throughout Rwanda.  Some of these locations were
already identified by LWF during the previous Appeal AFRW91.  The third
phase will focus on establishing and maintaining a network of contact and
communication between ACT and the national partners.  Networking will
include monthly meetings between ACT-Rwanda partners in Kigali,
information dissemination to national partners and implementing partners
throughout the country, in addition to an informal follow-up training
three months after the workshop sessions have completed.


Description of Assistance and Implementation (per Activity)

Four 2-week Disaster Preparedness Training Courses

Workshop participants will be selected and brought to Kigali for one of
four comprehensive two-week disaster preparedness-training courses.  The
training will be rendered to ACT partners, members, and one local
government representative from each prefecture as national partners.  
This would train approximately 67 people and local NGO co-ordinators --
many of whom will have been ACT-Rwanda implementing partners -- and
ministry officials will participate in the emergency response training
course, based largely upon the Disaster Response and Management training
curriculum piloted by Africa University in Zimbabwe.

The UMCOR office, through CPR, will be used for trainers to develop
training modules adapted to Rwanda.  This office will also compile and
copy training materials and handouts.  The first week of training will be
facilitated through representatives from UMCOR / CPR and Africa
University, and will focus on general disaster/emergency response skills,
including Effective Needs Assessments, Human and Material Resource
Analyses, Program Implementation and Planning, as well as effective
approaches to Monitoring and Evaluation during an emergency.  The second
week of training will be administered by one of the ACT-Rwanda members and
will include technical/topical training in the areas of refugee camp
management (facilitated by LWF) and reproductive health and nutrition
(RWN) in emergencies. Two sessions on health training will take place.
Local NGO co-ordinators and ministry officials will be placed in the
workshop that is most appropriate for their organisational capacity and
expertise and will engage in activities such as scenario development and
case studying during the course.


Prestocking and prepositioning of food and non-food items and seeds

In addition to the training, additional emergency supplies will be
purchased by LWF for 20,000 families (100,000) people).  This includes the
procurement of plastic sheeting (1,000 pieces), blankets (10,000), kitchen
sets (4,000) and jerry cans (1,000).  Previously stocked relief supplies,
provided under ACT appeal AFRW91 are already located on sites of LWF
programs in 3 prefectures in Kibungo, Umutara, and Gitarama, and to a more
limited extent in Kigali.  These additional supplies will be located on
sites of several ACT members based in Kigali and other parts of Rwanda for
safe storage and easy transportation to more isolated areas of the
country.  There will also be limited capacity to carry out an initial
assessment and to respond in case of an emergency, particularly to provide
assistance to vulnerable families.  This as a response to the prolonged
drought experienced particularly in the western and southern parts of the
country in 1999, and again planting sessions of 2000.  In the event of any
emergency, ACT-Rwanda members will co-ordinate the transportation and
distribution of these supplies to most vulnerable areas.


Water and Sanitation

In conjunction with local partners experienced in the water and sanitation
sector, and other Act members and their local partners, NCA will carry out
the implementation of water and sanitation provision to the 20.000
families expected in the above mentioned scenarios. NCA plans to purchase
water and sanitation equipment for 50.000 $. The equipment will be stocked
in Kigali.


The first step will be:

Train one person from the NCA staff, and an assistant, to handle a limited
crisis and be a recourse person in case of more serious crises. Training
both inside and outside Rwanda for the NCA person, if possible attend the
Emergency Personnel Seminar of RedR in England. He should also have some
knowledge of the NCA Emergency Unit in Norway and work closely with the
NCA emergency officer in Nairobi.

Identify and map water sources and resources in the country.

Identify possibilities for purchase of water and sanitation material in
and outside the country.

Work out curriculum and plans.

Purchase some equipment for training and later storing in Kigali

A one week training and emergency preparedness seminar for local partners

Training period putting up water supply for a small community.



The second step:

In case the drought continues next year, 2001, water will be provided to
selected and vulnerable communities through drilling, shallow wells,
extension of pipelines or exploiting non exploited water sources. A
reasonable amount for this step should be up to US$ 150,000. Drilling with
a local drilling machine will be around US$ 7,000 per hole down to 40 m.
More than 20 cites for drilling have been identified. Shallow wells will
be around US$ 5,000. In case of no drought next year this fund will be
used for water supply to shelter communities where Act members have been
involved earlier.


Third step:

In case of a real disaster water equipment for only US$ 50,000 will not be
sufficient. It is therefore proposed to have a Disaster Preparedness Fund
on an NCA account for purchase of water and sanitation equipment inside or
outside Rwanda in case of disaster. The fund should be up to US$ 200,000.


The reasons for not stocking equipment for such a high amount are:

Water equipment is expensive.

The equipment must be adjusted to the situation.

It is both expensive and risky to stock it.

It will need maintenance if the material is stocked for years.



Grass Roots Health Training

Rwanda Women Network will focus on reproductive health and nutrition
training activities to prepare for emergency/crisis situations.  This will
cover prenatal and post natal care, promoting safer sex, family planning,
STD and HIV/AIDS prevention, awareness, care and support.  Protection,
prevention, and control of communicable diseases, post abortion care,
working with young people on sexual health, contraceptive safety and
effectiveness, adolescent pregnancy, traditional culture and sexual
values, food protection and prevention from contamination.  The health
condition of people during emergency/crisis situations becomes critical
and alarming and experience has proved the fact that women and children
become the most vulnerable group during emergency situations.

RWN will train a group of 50 persons from its local network of women, the
ACT Rwanda network, local NGO leaders, local women grassroots leaders,
church groups and leaders. These will be the resource persons to carry out
the reproductive health and nutrition activities / mobilisation within
refugee camps / makeshifts. RWN will conduct 2 workshops of 2 weeks each
targeting 50 women who are grassroots based working with communities. Ten
women trainees per prefecture will be selected from ten prefectures, after
the four weeks intensive training these ten women trained from each
prefecture will train 100 women drawn from all communes of their
prefecture creating a multiplier effect of 1100 trainees. It is estimated
that each trained woman will handle a total of 100 people weekly during
emergencies thus creating a total capacity of 110,000 weekly and 440,000
people monthly.

The targeted areas where trainees will be selected covers prefectures that
are likely to be hit by an influx of people during emergency / crisis
situations.  Such prefectures include Cyangugu, Gisenyi, Kibuye,
Gikongoro, Butare, Byumba, Umutara, Kibungo, Ruhengeri, and Kigali Rural
focusing on the Bugesera region to the border of Burundi.


Networking and Follow-up

As mentioned earlier, one of the key components in effective contingency
planning lies in the ability to establish and maintain a rapid
decision-making mechanism.  To address this component, ACT-Rwanda members
(Christian Aid and CPR) will developed a strategy for improving the
networking capacity of each workshop participant as well as the response
capacity for the larger ACT-network.

After each workshop is completed, Christian Aid and CPR will keep a roster
of participants, their organisation's profile, and contact information.  
Regular correspondence will follow, via both telephone and mail.  This
correspondence will provide situational and security updates as well as
additional information on disaster preparedness strategies within the
region.  Quarterly follow-up meetings will also take place offering
half-day supplemental training sessions to network members.  ACT-Rwanda
members will continue to meet monthly for continued co-ordination and
information-sharing.


Transition from Emergency

Through effective planning, resource management, and networking, the
ACT-Rwanda members will assist in lessening the negative impacts of a
possible refugee influx into Rwanda due to instability in neighbouring
countries.  Such preparation would then facilitate Rwanda's continuation
or transition towards a more stable environment.  Additionally, ACT-Rwanda
members will continue with the implementation of on-going development
projects.  Currently, ACT-Rwanda members conduct development activities in
the sectors of health, water and sanitation, peace building and
reconciliation.  In the event that an emergency should happen, key
development staff trained in emergency preparedness will be available.



ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING

Project Administration

An ACT Co-ordinator, based in the Kigali office of CPR, will manage the
disaster preparedness initiative for Rwanda. The ACT Co-ordinator in
co-ordination with CPR /UMCOR will be responsible for organising the
logistics of the training component, including the solicitation of
national participants, the co-ordination of travel and accommodation and
the compilation and duplication of course materials and handouts. An LWF
emergency and rehabilitation adviser will work closely with the ACT
Co-ordinator to ensure the receipt and storage of emergency supplies and
will work towards the development of a strong network of disaster
preparedness specialists and stores throughout the country. The ACT
Co-ordinator will also act as the network's information officer for
information dissemination and follow-up meetings and training, as
necessary. The co-ordinator will be employed by CPR, and will report to
the ACT Network. Finally, s/he will be responsible for co-ordinating the
production of quarterly and final narrative reports to submit to the
donor, and presenting informal updates to ACT-Rwanda members on the
progress of the project's implementation.


Finance

During 2000 CPR upgraded its financial system by introducing a new
accounting package that will, when properly introduced and adopted, allow
better financial management and reporting.  CPR Rwanda will build the
capacity for administering large emergency funds and for providing
financial assistance to the ACT Rwanda partners.  Based at the CPR Kigali
office, one Finance officer with a support staff including a cashier and
an accountant will co-ordinate the financial reports submitted by the
partners and complete the final report on behalf of the ACT network.


Monitoring

UMCOR and its other ACT Co-ordinator with CPR will monitor both the
implementation and the impact of each two-week workshop, as well as the
entire Disaster Preparedness Initiative.  A primary source of monitoring
and subsequent evaluation will be determined through the use of
participant evaluation forms. In co-ordination with other trained ACT
Rwanda members, the LWF Emergency and Rehabilitation Advisor will monitor
food and non-food supplies as they enter and are stored in stores in
Kigali and throughout the country.  ACT-Rwanda members can monitor the
success of the network through follow-up correspondence and subsequent
meetings with workshop participants.


Reporting

All Partner Agencies participating in this appeal will be responsible for
their own financial and narrative reporting, copies of these reports,
including the audit reports, will be shared with CPR. CPR will compile
these and produce joined quarterly and final reports to submit to ACT.

COORDINATION

During the development of this consolidated appeal, each ACT-Rwanda member
has committed its capacity, staff, and expertise to the implementation of
the initiative.  During the training component, UMCOR along with members
from Africa University will facilitate the Disaster Management Training
component.  The sector specific training in Health and Nutrition,
Water/Sanitation and Refugee Camp Management will be facilitated by
Rwandan Women's Network (RWN) Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) and Lutheran
World Federation (LWF), respectively. LWF will procure emergency supplies,
and has volunteered the use of their organisation storage space.  LWF will
also provide vehicle and truck usage for the implementation of the
emergency preparedness and response component of this appeal.  CA and CPR
will work closely with the ACT Co-ordinator to solidify viable networking
lines.  CA will provide the services of a Capacity Building Officer who
will provide regular support to the Co-ordinator and who will work closely
with CPR to strengthen and develop its organisational capacity and ability
to act as a co-ordinating body for ACT-Rwanda.  Towards this end, CPR has
also agreed to provide office space and administrative support for the
Co-ordinator.
