Abstract
The program's success can be attributed to the collaborative efforts of local government, NGOs, and private sector partners. The initiative's focus on sustainable agriculture practices and market access has helped to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and their families. The program's impact is expected to be sustained through continued support and scaling up of the interventions. The initiative's geographic focus was on Eastern Province, where the majority of Rwanda's population resides. The program's implementation was carried out in collaboration with local government authorities, NGOs, and private sector partners. The initiative's timeframes were from 2018 to 2022, with a midterm evaluation conducted in 2020. The program's recommendations include scaling up the interventions to reach more farmers, improving the quality of training and support services, and increasing access to credit and markets for smallholder farmers.
