Abstract
The training programs emphasized the importance of soil conservation, crop rotation, and composting, with a focus on improving soil fertility and reducing erosion. The program's emphasis on women's empowerment and social inclusion was seen as a key factor in the success of the initiative. By providing training and support to women farmers, the program aimed to improve their economic and social status within their communities. The program's impact on poverty reduction and food security was seen as a critical factor in Rwanda's efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The initiative's success highlighted the importance of integrated approaches to agricultural development, combining technical assistance with market access and social support to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers.
