The training programs emphasized the importance of crop rotation, composting, and conservation agriculture, with a focus on improving soil health and reducing erosion. The initiative's emphasis on women's empowerment and social inclusion was seen as a key factor in the program's success, with women playing a crucial role in promoting sustainable agriculture practices within their communities. The program's impact on poverty reduction and food security was significant, with the majority of participants reporting improved access to nutritious food and increased income from agricultural sales. The initiative's success was attributed to the collaborative efforts of local stakeholders, including farmers, extension agents, and government officials, who worked together to implement the program's interventions and monitor its progress.

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 initiative's recommendations for future agricultural development initiatives in Rwanda emphasized the importance of integrating market access and social inclusion interventions with agricultural training and infrastructure development.
