Abstract
As a result, household income and food security indicators improved across all target communities. The program's success can be attributed to the effective integration of farmer training, infrastructure development, and market linkage facilitation. These interventions not only improved crop yields but also enhanced the overall economic well-being of participating farmers. The program's geographic focus was on Eastern Province, where soil degradation and limited market access were identified as primary challenges. The initiative's timeframes were not explicitly stated, but the midterm evaluation suggests that the program was in its second year of implementation. Recommendations for future agricultural development initiatives in Rwanda include continued emphasis on sustainable agriculture practices, market access improvements, and targeted support for women-headed households.
