Climate Resilience, Health, and Socio-Economic Vulnerability of Adolescents and Girls in Rwanda: Western Province – Karongi and Gakenke Districts
This case study explores the compounded impact of climate change on the socio-economic, health, and educational vulnerabilities of adolescents and girls in Rwanda, particularly in the Western Provinces. It examines how climate change intersects with their access to sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), health services, education, and well-being, while identifying effective resilience strategies and policy gaps.
The findings will inform interventions and frameworks to enhance climate resilience and adaptive capacities among adolescents and girls.
