Abstract
The program's impact on poverty reduction was also notable, with a 15% decrease in poverty rates among participating households. The program's success can be attributed to its focus on community-led initiatives and participatory approaches. By empowering local farmers and providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge, the program fostered a sense of ownership and cooperation among community members. This collaborative approach enabled the program to address the complex challenges facing rural communities in Rwanda, ultimately leading to improved agricultural productivity and food security.
