| Project Detail |
The “Transformation towards Sustainable Food Systems – Kwihaza” project is an integral part of the Team Europe Initiative (TEI) “Feeding Cities” as part of the annual action plan of the Delegation of the European Union (DEU) to Rwanda.
The overall objective aims to contribute to the transition towards social and environmental food systems as well as the development of value chains in the areas of aquaculture, fisheries and horticulture.
Its specific objective is to sustainably increase production, per capita consumption and income on quality products from fisheries, aquaculture and horticulture, with particular attention to women and youth. In order to achieve this specific objective, the expected results are:
strengthening the capacities of smallholders active in these value chains to effectively improve the quality and quantity of products, reduce post-harvest losses and increase their access to local and regional markets;
strengthening small and medium-sized businesses and young entrepreneurs active at different levels of the targeted value chains in order to work in an inclusive and sustainable manner, create decent jobs and contribute to better food systems; And
strengthening an environment conducive to the development of inclusive value chains and sustainable food systems.
The project will be implemented in ten districts in Rwanda and will serve in particular small producers, small and medium-sized businesses and consumers.
The project developed and implemented by Enabel over four years for a total budget of 15.5 MEUR is financed by the DUE for 10 MEUR and by Luxembourg for 5.5 MEUR. The contribution from Luxembourg Cooperation is made available to Enabel through LuxDev, which is part of the monitoring committee and the steering committee. |
