Rwanda is a small landlocked country in Central Africa, bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and Dem. Rep. of Congo. Over the past 30 years, the frequency and intensity of floods and droughts have increased in Rwanda, due to extreme precipitation changes in Eastern Africa. While floods occur regularly in the northern and western parts due to heavy rains, droughts are also a recurring natural disaster, causing famines, depletion of water resources, and increased incidences of meningitis and other diseases.
