Abstract
The training programs emphasized the importance of composting, crop rotation, and irrigation techniques to improve crop yields and reduce soil degradation. This suggests that women in these households may have been more receptive to the training programs and more willing to adopt new practices. The program's success in improving household income and food security suggests that the interventions were effective in addressing the primary challenges identified in the initial assessments. The program's geographic focus was on Eastern Province, where the majority of Rwanda's agricultural production takes place. The region's rugged terrain and limited arable land make it an ideal location for testing and implementing sustainable agriculture practices. The program's timeframes were set for a three-year period, with the first year focused on training and infrastructure development, the second year on market linkage facilitation, and the third year on evaluation and scaling up successful practices.
