Rwanda Livelihoods Programme

2011 is the second year of a three year programme. It helps farmers gain access to tools and techniques to maximise production on a limited land area. This includes planting techniques such as terraced mounds which maximise available space; organic fertilisers and pesticides; and other ways to increase the productivity of soya, maize and wheat. The programme also provides microfinance (small loans) for post-harvest facilities and processing.
