Abstract
The program's success was attributed to the effective collaboration between local government agencies, NGOs, and private sector partners. The initiative's focus on sustainable agriculture practices and market access helped to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and their families. The program's impact was also felt beyond the agricultural sector, with improved food security contributing to overall economic growth and poverty reduction in the region. The initiative's geographic focus was on Eastern Province, where the majority of Rwanda's population resides. The program's timeframes were set for a three-year period, with the first year focused on implementation and the second and third years dedicated to monitoring and evaluation. The program's recommendations included scaling up the initiative to other provinces and expanding the scope of interventions to include other sectors, such as livestock and fisheries.
