    Rwanda has had to cope with a wide range of insecurities in the past decades. Nowadays, it is mostly threatened by a range of natural hazards including floods, landslides, droughts and earthquakes. Small landholding farmers are particularly vulnerable to environmental degradation reducing agricultural productivity and undermining food and nutritional security. The Ngororero district where the majority are subsistence farmers, is the second poorest in Rwanda and 79% of its total area is susceptible to landslides.
