The training programs emphasized the importance of crop rotation, composting, and irrigation management to improve soil fertility and reduce water usage. The program's success in engaging women-headed households was attributed to the provision of training and support tailored to their specific needs and circumstances. The program's impact on household income and food security was attributed to the combination of improved agricultural practices and increased market access, enabling farmers to sell their produce at higher prices and improve their overall well-being. The program's geographic focus was on Eastern Province, where the majority of Rwanda's agricultural production takes place. The region's agricultural sector was characterized by small-scale farming, with most households relying on subsistence farming practices. The program's implementation was designed to address the specific challenges faced by small-scale farmers in the region, including soil degradation, limited market access, and lack of access to credit and other resources.
