2. Background Information
The Scottish Government (SG) was the first Government globally to commit funds specifically to climate justice, launching the Climate Justice Fund (CJF) in 2012, and ensuring that this fund not only supports communities in partner developing countries to become more resilient to climate change but does so in way that acknowledges, and tackles embedded inequalities.
Following an independent evaluation in 2021 of the Climate Justice Fund’s work, drawing on experiences of communities in Malawi, Zambia and Rwanda who have implemented or are supported by the Fund and stakeholder feedback on the Climate Justice Fund, the Scottish Government set a future approach for action on climate justice and prioritized targeting the funding to the people most vulnerable to climate change in the communities– particularly women and youth – and ensuring their participation is at the centre of the Fund’s work which will be achieved through delivering against distinct pillars of climate justice. In March 2022, in line with this revised approach, the Scottish Government relaunched the CJF and a Supplier Event to provide details of this opportunity and answer questions on the programme specification, procurement and tendering process was held. In May 2022, the Scottish Government advertised a competitive, open tender procedure for the Provision of Climate Just Communities in Malawi, Zambia and Rwanda but the invitation to tender was published on 7 September 2022.
In response to this invitation to tender, a consortium made of Trōcaire, the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF) and Christian Blind Mission (CBM) UK was constituted, with local partners including Rwanda Climate Change and Development Network (RCCDN), its member’s organizations (DUHAMIC-ADRI, DUTERIMBERE NGO, Rwanda Development Organisation/RDO) as well as the National Union of Disabilities Organisation Rwanda (NUDOR). This Consortium submitted a tender on 18 November 2022 and on 11 July 2023, the Scottish Government awarded the CJC contract to the Consortium. The contract entered into force on 1 August 2023 and will run until March 2025, with the option to extend up until March 2026.
The purpose of the 3-year Scottish Government funded CJC Programme is to implement effective climate justice interventions focusing on community voice and needs, prioritizing marginalized communities, women, and people with disabilities, and considering the Scottish Government’s pillars of climate justice. The CJC Programme will be “of” and “for” the community: communities will be engaged in a participatory, culturally sensitive manner to identify climate-change-related needs (in their own terms) then design interventions (owned by them) to respond.
The Programme will be implemented across 3 Districts (Gisagara, Karongi & Ngororero) and jointly in consortium with Trocaire (Principle Sub-Contractor) and local delivery partners including Rwanda Climate Change and Development Network (RCCDN), its member’s Organizations (DUHAMIC-ADRI, DUTERIMBERE NGO, Rwanda Development Organisation/RDO) as well as the National Union of Disabilities Organisation Rwanda (NUDOR).
3. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
CJC program is initiating a project of Conducting public awareness within the community network on the importance of using improved cook stoves and how it helps to reduce barriers that hinder women from participating in community activities in Gisagara and Ngororero District. This project aims to increase public awareness within the community about the importance of using improved cook stoves. Improved cook stoves (ICS) offer significant benefits including reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improved health outcomes. Additionally, they can play a critical role in reducing barriers that hinder women's participation in community activities by saving time and reducing health risks associated with traditional cooking methods in both Gisagara and Ngororero District. The project will utilise a dual communication approach, one will be the Voice Message by Disseminating a pre-recorded voice message detailing the benefits of improved cook stoves and their impact on women's participation in community activities then send it to the phone numbers to understand the Message, the second will be by sending an SMS messages containing the same information to reinforce the voice message content.
The message will be the following: “Using improved cook stoves saves time and reduces smoke, making cooking healthier and easier. This helps women participate more in community activities and improve their quality of life. Let's switch to improved cook stoves for a healthier, more active community!
This message is brought to you by DUHAMIC-ADRI with a donation from TROCAIRE Rwanda.”
In Kinyarwanda "Gukoresha imbabura za kijyambere bigabanya umwanya wo guteka, bikarinda umwuka mubi mu kirere, byoroshya guteka kandi ntibyangize ubuzima. ibi kandi bituma abagore babona umwanya uhagije wo gukora ibindi bikorwa mu muryango no kwiteza imbere bakarushaho kugira ubuzima buzira umuze. twitabire gukoresha imbabura tugire ubuzima bwiza, twiteze imbere.
ubu butumwa mubugejejweho na DUHAMIC-ADRI kubufatanye na TROCAIRE Rwanda kunkunga ya SCIAF."
