Short Summary of the intervention
The new country programme for the Belgo-Rwandan cooperation 2019 – 2024 foresees to intervene in the agricultural sector with the following general objective “Increase revenues for farmers’ households and other private actors in the agricultural value chains in a sustainable manner”.
Three complementary interventions are foreseen, each with its specific objective:
1) Support through the Multi Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) to the implementation of PSTA4 to promote the commercialisation of agricultural value chains.
2) Develop inclusive and sustainable feed, pig & poultry value chains in which all actors run a profitable business.
3) Attract private investment to develop a modern industrialised value chain to produce high quality meat products and eggs to substitute imports as well as to export.
The first specific objective will be managed through a Grant with the World Bank.
The last two interventions are closely linked to each other and will be managed together by the intervention manager in livestock.
