IFAD partners in Rwanda

IFAD, together with the Department for International Development of the United Kingdom (DFID) and the Netherlands, supported the Government of Rwanda in the elaboration of the Strategic Plan for the Transformation of Agriculture (PSTA). A major support project to the PSTA that lays the foundation for a sector-wide approach to the agriculture sector was financed by IFAD and co-financed by DFID and very soon by the Netherlands.

Through its field presence, IFAD is actively participating in two major aid coordination and harmonization mechanisms in the country: the Rural Development Cluster, and the Development Partners' Coordination Group (DPCG). IFAD is also involved in all policy dialogue fora with the United National Country Team (UNCT) and various working groups for the One UN initiative in Rwanda.

During the process of designing the country strategic opportunities programme, IFAD forged partnerships with the Belgian Technical Cooperation for proximity services to the rural poor, with the World Food Programme (WFP) for food-for-work projects, with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and with the African Development Bank and the World Bank for water and soil conservation and hillside irrigation. It also works in partnership with farmers’ apex organizations, focusing on representation, and with microfinance institutions, focusing on improved access to agricultural credit for small farmers.

Recipients of IFAD grants are valued IFAD partners in the country. They include SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE), non-governmental organizations providing a wide range of technical and advisory services, and the private sector.
