=== Building Rwanda's capacity for climate compatible development ===
CDKN has been involved in capacity building in Rwanda through the national environment and climate change fund, FONERWA – the largest climate fund of its kind in Africa. By building capacity at national and district level to scope, develop and implement successful climate compatible development projects, the work will help support implementation of Rwanda's Green Growth & Climate Resilience Strategy and build momentum for low carbon, climate resilient economic growth in the country.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://southsouthnorth.org/climate-and-development-knowledge-network-cdkn/|title=Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), South South North|author=|date=|website=southsouthnorth.org|access-date=5 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180902094135/http://southsouthnorth.org/climate-and-development-knowledge-network-cdkn/|archive-date=2 September 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>
As part of continued work in Rwanda through the project, "Building resilience in Rwanda through business collaboration," a CDKN-funded research study showed that small businesses around Nyabugogo River, Gatsata and other water catchment areas in [[Kigali]] could face further losses due to flooding if no urgent actions are taken to address the problem. A survey, carried out as part of the project, looked at how small businesses in Kigali are being affected by recurrent flooding, and found that the areas experienced losses estimated at Rwf178.2 million in direct and indirect damages caused by floods.<ref name=nyabugogo>[http://www.newtimes.co.rw/section/Printer/2016-03-17/198071/ Nyabugogo businesses lose Rwf178m to flooding annually, shows survey, ''The New Times'', access date 3 May 2017]</ref>
