The initiative aimed to improve agricultural productivity and market access for smallholder farmers, with a particular focus on women-headed households. The project's implementation timeline spanned from 2018 to 2022, with a total budget of $2.5 million. The initiative was led by a local implementing partner, with technical assistance provided by international experts. The project's success was evaluated through regular monitoring and evaluation activities, including surveys, focus group discussions, and yield assessments. The project's findings and recommendations have implications for future agricultural development initiatives in Rwanda and beyond. The initiative's focus on sustainable agriculture practices, market linkage facilitation, and women's empowerment has shown promising results, and can be replicated in other contexts to improve agricultural productivity and food security.
