Youth Empowerment For Sustainable and Profitable Agriculture in Rwanda (YESPAR) Project.

The Youth Empowerment For Sustainable and Profitable Agriculture in Rwanda (YESPAR) Project, implemented in partnership between SUYANA Foundation and RWARRI, is taking place at Amizero Institute of Technology and Hospitality (AMITH) in Kayonza District.

This initiative aims to empower 150 Rwandan youth by equipping them with essential skills through short-term, hands-on training in areas such as agricultural mechanization, irrigation, and post-harvest handling. The project is designed to contribute to the long-term transformation of Rwanda’s agricultural sector, promoting sustainability, innovation, and youth-driven agribusiness development.

The Joint Programme on Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment (JP RWEE) is a global initiative aimed at securing the livelihoods, rights, and resilience of rural women and their households. In Rwanda, it is funded by WFP, FAO, IFAD, and UN Women, and implemented by four partners targeting 8,000 rural women across five districts: Kirehe, Ngoma, Gisagara, Nyaruguru, and Nyamasheke. The component implemented by the Rwanda Rural Rehabilitation Initiative (RWARRI), in partnership with the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion (MIGEPROF) and funded by WFP, spans from 2024 to 2027.

Rwanda Rural Rehabilitation Initiative (RWARRI) has been a critical partner of World Vision Rwanda since June 2024. This partnership agreement was built on a joint initiative to promote household income through the development of a poultry value chain in the World Vision Rwanda Intervention area of Huye, Gisagara districts (Ishema cluster), Rusizi, Nyamasheke districts (Nyungwe cluster), Karongi district (Kivu cluster), Rutsiro, Ngororero districts (Tunga Cluster), Kayonza, Gatsibo and Nyagatare districts (Akagera cluster).
