The training emphasized the importance of crop rotation, composting, and conservation agriculture to improve soil fertility and reduce erosion. These results were attributed to the adoption of conservation agriculture techniques, which reduced soil disturbance and improved soil water retention. This may be attributed to the fact that women-headed households tend to have more limited access to resources and credit, making the adoption of new practices more challenging. However, the program's focus on women-headed households helped to address these disparities and promote more equitable access to resources. The program's success was attributed to the integrated approach, which addressed both the supply-side constraints (soil degradation and limited market access) and the demand-side constraints (limited access to resources and credit). The results of the midterm evaluation suggest that the program is on track to achieve its goals and improve food security in Rwanda.
