USAID/Peru: Health System Strengthening (HSS) Activity

The training programs emphasized the importance of conservation agriculture, integrated pest management, and post-harvest handling techniques. Participants also received support in accessing credit and other financial services to invest in their farms. The initiative's emphasis on women's empowerment and social inclusion was seen as a key factor in the program's success. Women's groups were established to provide a platform for sharing knowledge, skills, and resources, and to promote collective action and decision-making. The evaluation also highlighted the importance of integrating agricultural development with other sectors, such as education and health, to achieve more sustainable and equitable outcomes. The initiative's impact was seen as a critical step towards achieving Rwanda's national development goals, including reducing poverty and improving food security.
