USAID Rapid Education and Risk Analysis Toolkit

The training programs emphasized the importance of crop rotation, composting, and conservation agriculture to improve soil fertility and reduce erosion. The program's success in engaging women-headed households was attributed to the provision of training and support tailored to their specific needs. The program's impact on household income and food security was attributed to the combination of improved agricultural productivity and increased market access. The results of the midterm evaluation provided valuable insights for program scaling and replication. 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 success in improving agricultural productivity and household income has the potential to contribute to Rwanda's overall economic development and poverty reduction goals.
