Feed the Future Rwanda Kungahara Wagura Amasoko is a five-year USAID-funded initiative designed to boost Rwanda’s economic growth inclusively and sustainably by increasing the export of high-value agricultural products. Targeted high-value agricultural value chains include coffee, tea, horticulture and spices, dairy products and other emerging values chains (e.g., stevia, essential oils).
Using a market systems approach, Kungahara Wagura Amasoko works with and through the Government of Rwanda (GOR), the private sector, and civil society organizations to achieve the above goal by implementing the two following strategic objectives: (i) facilitate inclusive and resilience-focused policy reforms that promote agricultural export growth using evidence-based analysis and strengthen advocacy capacity of the private sector organizations, and (ii) support local actors (government and private sector) to attract, mobilize and direct public and private financing resources and/or investment towards increased agriculture and food export.
