An agriculture plan backed by investment: Rwanda’s Fifth Strategic Plan for Agriculture Transformation (PSTA 5) organises delivery around key value chains and 13,379 Food Basket Sites, backed by a US$335.4 million Climate-Smart Agriculture Investment Plan. This includes catchment protection to secure water for farming in eastern Rwanda.
Whole-of-government delivery: the Rwanda Country Platform coordinates food systems action with the Ministry of Finance, and the agriculture and environment ministries plan jointly, including on Rwanda’s food-systems-focused NDC 3.0.
