Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation

closed

The objective of the Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting, and Hillside Irrigation Project for Rwanda is to increase the productivity and commercialization of hillside agriculture in target areas. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is capacity development and institutional strengthening for hillside intensification. This component aims to develop the capacity of individuals and institutions for improved hillside land husbandry, stronger agricultural value chains and expanded access to finance. The second component of the project is infrastructure for hillside intensification. This component will provide the essential 'hardware' for hillside intensification to accompany the capacity development and institutional strengthening activities of component first. The third component of the project is implementation through the ministerial sector wide approach (SWAP) structure. This component aims to ensure that project activities are effectively managed within the new SWAP structure for ministerial implementation of programs and projects at Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI).
