Strengthening Dairy Development in Rwanda - UTF/RWA/042/RWA
Livestock play a significant role in ensuring food security, nutrition, livelihoods and economic development. In Rwanda, livestock have the potential to contribute to the country's agricultural led growth and socioeconomic transformation. Livestock are particularly important for rural youth and women, providing them with opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship. Although the dairy sector is rapidly growing and accounts for 10.5 percent of agricultural gross domestic product, it is underperforming compared to other countries in the region. Small scale dairy farmers in Rwanda face challenges related to capacity building, low productivity of dairy breeds, insufficient use of advanced farm technologies and practices and a lack of access to input and output markets. To address these issues, this project aimed to provide technical assistance for the Rwanda Dairy Development Project (RDDP) through collaborative efforts among the Government, the Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
