Abstract
The training programs emphasized the importance of crop rotation, composting, and conservation agriculture. The plots also served as a platform for farmers to share knowledge and best practices. The program's success in engaging women-headed households was attributed to the provision of training and support tailored to their specific needs. The evaluation also found that the program's interventions had a positive impact on poverty reduction and improved access to markets for small-scale farmers. The results of the midterm evaluation informed the program's scaling up and expansion to other regions in Rwanda. The program's success was attributed to the collaborative efforts of local stakeholders, including local government officials, farmers, and community leaders. The program's focus on sustainable agriculture practices and market linkage facilitation helped to improve the livelihoods of small-scale farmers and contribute to Rwanda's agricultural development. The program's impact was also felt beyond the target communities, with the potential to inform agricultural development policies and programs at the national level.
